Jeb Bush, in San Francisco visit, says Trump is preying on immigration fears
LA Times ^ | 7/16/15 | SEEMA MEHTA

Posted on 07/19/2015 2:11:21 PM PDT by jimbo123

Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush on Thursday condemned his rival Donald Trump for making incendiary remarks about illegal immigration.

“I think candidates ought to lay out proposals to solve problems rather than basically prey on legitimate fears and concerns,” Bush told reporters after speaking at a technology company.

Bush pointed to the killing this month of a woman on San Francisco's waterfront, allegedly by an immigrant who had felony convictions and had repeatedly been deported to Mexico – a case that Trump has repeatedly highlighted on the campaign trail.

“The system broke down for her and her family, and you can see why people are upset about that,” Bush said. But “I don’t think it’s appropriate as a potential president to prey on that fear, and frankly, it’s not a winning message either…. I have a big disagreement with Mr. Trump about his tone and what he’s saying because it’s not accurate."

He is responding to demands by the American people, un-listened to for decades by the uniparty, to secure America for Americans.

Jeb should note that putting the interests of illegal aliens ahead of ordinary citizens doesn’t jibe with his claim of being a “conservative”.

You put 3rd Cav, 5th Mech, etc. on the border and you shoot anything that tries to cross the border outside recognized official border crossing sites. You also inform the 3rd world EU to shut the hell up about our borders and start welcoming all those Africans and Mideasterners to their countries.

As Ann Coulter points out in her most recent book, both parties will raise, discuss and debate every issue but one: illegal immigration, which is taboo.
When everyone called Trump a racist for daring to bring it up, he was supposed to sit down, apologize and shut up.
But he wouldn’t, now he’s polling #1 and they are running scared.
Contact your congress critter and rip his/her butt over our lack of border security. It takes just a couple minutes.

Where the people are afraid of government, you have tyranny. Where the government fears the people you have liberty.

The RNC has almost perfected nominating the candidate the base finds the most loathsome.
McCain, Romney and soon ¡Yeb!
They have the playbook down, there’s almost no chance he won’t be nominated.
The Cheap Labor Express has already paid the RNC for an amnesty candidate.

Kathryn Steinle is symbolic of a minor irrational phobia of being killed.

No, Jeb, he's giving voice to the tens of millions who are tired of being victims of illegal aliens. They are not immigrants, they have no desire to be Americans, they are here to take as much as they can for as long as they can before they return home.

Your solution: They get to return home with social security benefits. IF they register, which they won't, as Reagan's amnesty pretty conclusively showed. And IF they start the paperwork like a significant percentage did, the majority most likely won't bother to finish that paperwork (after all, why get on the hook for paying taxes?)

Hey, right, under your solution, the felon who shot the girl where you're standing would be an legal resident and therefore it wouldn't have been a crime by an illegal alien. Which would make it just random street crime and not a newsworthy event. Precious little comfort to the woman's family.

What a stupid statement. Anyone who speaks in a tone Jebbie doe not approve of, he's going to give them a demerit.

FACT CHECK TRUMP VS. MCCAIN
Probably time for a review and some much needed FACT CHECKING!
If you still don’t believe the lapdog MSM is out to gut Trump, here’s another example of their typical yellow “journalism”.

Somebody ought to send El Jebe a copy of this...

Then maybe he'll see why the American People are completely fed up with being looted by foreign Vandals and pandering politicians.

He should be more concerned about tar, feather, and pitchforks than "offending" the parasites and criminals pouring in from all over the planet to loot us, abuse us, eat out our substance, and destroy our once fine country like a host of tapeworms and garbage dump rats on a rotting corpse.

On the bright side, most of them vote Democrat so they won't be voting for him.

“””...basically prey on legitimate fears and concerns,” Bush told ... “””

How did this idiot get elected governor? If it’s a legitimate fear then it’s right and proper to address it.

What a blithering idiot.

If I knew nothing of Jeb Bush but his comments of the last week, it would disqualify him as someone I could support.

I sincerely wonder about his mental capacity. Some of the things he has said eat away at the idea he has any grasp of Republicanism, let alone Conservatism.

“Contact your congress critter and rip his/her butt over our lack of border security. It takes just a couple minutes.

Where the people are afraid of government, you have tyranny. Where the government fears the people you have liberty.”

You forgot the sarcasm tag. Try this: “My answer is no. End of debate. Make your move.” Until such time those with knowledge of the Rights of Man make a stand when their liberties are curtailed there will be tyranny. Government is force and the pen is no match for the sword. Dick Bachert responded to a post today calling for someone to do something to address the situation in which we find ourselves. Your comment quoted above and Dick’s calling for “Won’t somebody please help me?” (quote from a commercial relating to indebtedness) could only be compared to the bleating of sheep at the slaughter and will have as much effect against the drawing of the blade across the jugular.
