Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush discussing immigration reform on Fox News this Sunday:
"I'm going to say this and it will be on tape, and so be it. The way I look at this is someone who comes to our country because they couldn't come legally, they come to our country because their family's dad who loves their children was worried that their children didn't have food on the table, and they wanted to make sure their family was intact. And they crossed the border because they had no other means to work to be able to provide for their family. Yes, they broke the law, but it's not a felony. it's kind of -- it's a -- it's an act of love. It's an act of commitment to your family. I honestly think that's a different kind of crime that should be, there should be a price paid, but it shouldn't be -- it shouldn't rile people up that people are actually coming to this country to provide for their families. And the idea that we're not going to fix this but with with comprehensive reform ends up trapping these people, when they could make a great contribution for their own their families but also for us.
So I think we need to get beyond the harsh political rhetoric to a better place. The great number of people who come to this country come because they have no opportunities in other places. They may love their country, but they come here because they want to provide for their families. And they can make a contribution to our country if we actually organized ourselves in a better way."

Supporting Jeb Bush:
An act of lunacy
Jeb is an idiot. His “act of love” by illegals has cost us dearly in blood and treasure.
Read my lips...NO NEW BUSHES!
Hillary would crush him like a bug. Not that it makes any difference whether he wins or Hillary does.
Being against illegal immigration is an act of commitment and love to family and country.
Jeb! You moron! Isn't this the Mexican government's problem? Why throw it on the backs of the American taxpayers? You idiot! A REAL act of love would be sending them back to their own country and telling them to take it up with THEIR government! Jerk! I am very offended when these illegal invaders are out protesting in OUR streets and TELLING US how it's gonna be. They need to go home and tell it to their own government.
I'm sure they'd be dead from lead poisoning before their loving feet ever touched the ground.
Tens of thousands of AMERICANS have been killed by illegals since 9/11/2001...a real ‘act of love’ there, fat boy. Can’t wait until you meet Terri in the next world, fat boy...even if only for a few seconds.
This just makes me furious.
Then why the hell have US borders at all? Due to “LOVE”, let’s bring in every Tom ,Dick and Harry as well as all of those who would seek to do us harm.
We are pretty much there already.
Wake up people.
What is wrong with these people? Are they going to let all crime go unpunished? We were a nation of laws but not any more. It is not the country from my childhood and that is a shame.
It’s an act of theft, dumbass.
I agree that crossing the US/Mexico border for a better life is an act of love....so out of love for my Country and a desire for a better life for all my fellow Americans, would you please cross the border into Mexico and take your family with you?
Very Sincerely,
Liberalh8ter <====that means YOU, Jeb.
You just watch, Bush will be the 2016 nominee, you know its gonna happen..this is why Jeb is kissing so many illegal alien ass, for the votes
And no more Clintons!
Ha haaaaa!
Sometimes I say the craziest things.
That’s Just NASTY.
An “Act of Love”?
Good grief.
Act of Love? Yeah they love our money, our welfare, our foodstamps, our govt apartments, our free healthcare, our schools, our easily corruptible politicians.
Dear Jeb.
It may be an act of love to provide for their families.
It may be an act of love of the opportunity we offer.
It may be an act of love of the freedom we offer.
It may be an act of love of a lot of things,
It is not an act of love for this country.
It is not an act of love for the people of the US.
It is not an act of love for our system of government.
If it was, they would have entered legally and been
productive citizens, assimilating and becoming one
with our polis, learning our language and educating
their children in the value of our way of life.
A Bush Clinton election will end with the same result as the last one.
If we're going down as a nation anyway, it might as well be with a dem president.
