Bush co-chaired a Council on Foreign Relations task force that recommended a slate of policies on immigration to then Labor Secretary Hilda Solis.

In 2009, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush sent a letter to Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis advocating an immigration plan developed by the Council on Foreign Relations. That report included in its recommendations an earned pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants.

Bush was one of two co-chairs of the bipartisan task force.

The letter, signed by Bush, identifies “a program of earned legalization that offers an opportunity for many illegal immigrants to earn the right to remain in America” as one of three pieces of the plan.

In the report, though, the program of “earned legalization” is described as a “path to permanent residence and citizenship.”

“We favor a scheme that allows many illegal immigrants to earn the right to live in this country lawfully and to start on the path to permanent residence and citizenship,” read the report.

Earned Legalization

As discussed in greater detail above, the Task Force has concluded that earned legalization is necessary and warranted for many illegal immigrants living in the United States. The current situation is dangerous for American security, corrodes respect for the rule of law, makes those immigrants vulnerable to exploitation, and creates unfair competition for American workers that erodes labor standards. But the Task Force is opposed to amnesty; instead, we favor a scheme that allows many illegal immigrants to earn the right to live in this country lawfully and to start on the path to permanent residence and citizenship.

Guaranteed that the US will have no borders if Bush becomes president.

The Task Force recommends that Congress approve a program of earned legalization for illegal migrants in the United States, subject to appropriate penalties, waiting periods, background checks, evidence of moral character, and a commitment to full participation in American society by learning English and embracing American values.

Note: Columba Bush is EXEMPT from the "learning English and embracing American values" part.

Likewise, in a Council on Foreign Relations interview Bush notes undocumented immigrants if “given a path to citizenship would do what’s right and take the necessary steps to achieve legalized status and citizenship.”

“We should insist that if the immigrant who comes here does in good faith become an American and assimilates himself to us he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed or birth-place or origin.

But this is predicated upon the man’s becoming in very fact an American and nothing but an American. If he tries to keep segregated with men of his own origin and separated from the rest of America, then he isn’t doing his part as an American. There can be no divided allegiance here. . . We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language, for we intend to see that the crucible turns our people out as Americans, of American nationality, and not as dwellers in a polyglot boarding-house; and we have room for but one soul loyalty, and that is loyalty to the American people.”

Jeb-Juan and Columbita want to reign over New Mexiana ala the Perons.

Jeb Bush's America.

Either deport them all now or it’s over. Because even just leaving them here illegally in the shadows will spell our doom as they go about having babies like rabbits, all of which are American citizens at birth.

Hey Jebby! They aren’t interested in your steenkin’ “path” to permanent residence and citizenship. They are tired of all that walkin’ sh*t. All they want now is lots of free sh*t and free money! Deal with it little buddy!

[Rapscallion]

Jeb Bush is a liberal wolf in conservative clothing. He is a dupe of progressives.

[NCLaw441]

I support a path to legal residence and eventual citizenship. Here’s how it goes: Apply for residence in the US while you are still in your own country. Wait for approval. Come on over when you have your visa. Follow the rules and become a US citizen and we will welcome your warmly.

Jeb Bush’s mission is to get Hillary elected.

Jebster is the RNC’s designated loser this time around.

If he wins, we become North Mexico.
