Jeb Bush: We Need to Control Border By Politely Asking Illegals to Leave
breitbart.com ^ | 1/25/15 | Pam Key

Posted on 01/26/2015 6:44:15 AM PST by cotton1706

This weekend in San Francisco while speaking to the National Automobile Dealers Association, former Gov. Jeb Bush (R-FL) said, “First and foremost we need to control our border.”

“The 40 percent of the people that have come here illegally came with a legal visa and overstayed their bounds,” he added. “We ought to be able to figure out where they are and politely ask them to leave.”

State and local enforcement should partner with the federal government to encourage illegal aliens to return to their home countries in a “compassionate” way, Bush continued.

The 9/11 hijackers, whose airliner suicide mission slaughtered thousands of Americans, obtained visas despite filling out “incomprehensible” applications, according to ABC News. One hijacker listed his occupation as “teater” while another said his destination was “Hotel.” The State Department freely granted them tourist and business visas, and allowed them to remain in the U.S. after their visas expired.

“And when they don’t?”

Well, you really up your game then. You say: Pretty Please, with a cherry on top! That should have them packing in seconds. /s

If this guy is the best we can do, I am beginning to wonder if this nation is worth salvaging.

Bwahahahahaha! Lived in San Diego. You can ask all you want but they'll just come back. The only reason they go back home to Mexico is to see family and buy cheap stuff.

Is that the wife who tried to smuggle tens of thousands of dollars of designer clothes into the country? She has a drug problem too, doesn’t she?

It is the Republican election dance. First you slide to the right to pick up votes from the base for the Primary, then you leap to the left for the General.

Got his tongue tied trying to appeal to everyone.

If they came here on legal visas, they did not come in illegally. They became illegal when they refused to leave at the expiration of their visas.

Real illegals came across the border without applying for visas. THOSE are the problem. THOSE are the ones would possibly be terrorists or criminals. THOSE are the ones most of the 'comprehensive immigration' crap aims at legalizing, regularizing, or whatever cutzie term the politicians apply to it.

Jeb tried to do the ole dipsy-doodle fast-foot shuffle, but his tongue tripped him up.

Most of us are too familiar with the 'control the border' canard. Politicians have not intention of enforcing that -- or they could do it with CURRENT laws.

We ask them politely?
Throw them in jail for 6 weeks; make the jail as uncomfortable as possible (subsistence food and cold cells); then deport them.

I think we need to deal with them as forcefully as we would deal with the Moslems (no not just terrorists, ALL moslems).

I mean, if Mexico shoots them on sight at THEIR southern border, why don’t we?

Also, it exposes me to a kind of ‘guilt by association,’ even though I have nothing in common with them :-|

If Obama’s purpose was the steer the entire body politic left, he succeeded.

“It is the Republican election dance. First you slide to the right to pick up votes from the base for the Primary, then you leap to the left for the General.”

Yes, but remember that Jeb’s plan and desire is to NOT run to the right; to win the nomination without pretending to be a conservative.

Something has caused him to START to change his tune. Perhaps he’s realized that his dream of being the “great moderate hope” a la John Huntsman has NO chance of winning.

He can surely raise tons of money, even crush conservatives and get the nomination, but like Romney before him, he will never be president. And if he REALLY wants the power, he needs to change his tune.
