Noting the strong "Hispanic influence" in his family, GOP presidential candidate Jeb Bush vowed that, if elected, he'd enact the comprehensive immigration reform that President Barack Obama promised, but failed, to achieve.

Also, many don't like the implied "given" that Mexicans (or anybody) can and will come.

I can live with that. But anyone who knew what it takes to adopt a BABY from another country, and bring them here would be OUTRAGED by ANY kind of illegal immigration!

[Dr. Sivana]

It is too easy to come here legally and now he wants to make it easier?

I would take issue withthe notion taht it is "too easy" to come here legally. I married a Canadian woman with a perfectly clean record, and it took FIVE YEARS for her to get a permanent green card. The system is completely messed up and self-contradictory. You can argue that the thresholds are too high, or are too high for certain countries. The system itself is non-sensical, regardless of how many people make it through.

"Does anyone, anywhere have any further doubts about Yeb’s intentions if elected? ….."

Well at least he's against amnesty /s

[Dr. Sivana]

America does not need or want a Hispanic president!

Speak for yourself. It doesn't bother me that Ted Cruz is Hispanic.

Pander Bear.

It's not pandering if you mean it. And when it comes to amnesty, I believe Bush does mean it. Both Bush and Trump are more or less running with Amnesty as their number one issues, from different sides of course. It's pretty clear that Trump is on the right side, according the the collective will of the American people but it's so damned important to Bush that he'll go down in flames before he abandons it.

Four million of our fellow conservatives stayed home in 2012. That number will easily double or triple that amount if Señor Bush gets the nomination.

[Iscool]

He offers nothing that will benefit Americans...

[miss marmelstein]

This guy is trying to lose the election.

I have no knowledge of your personal situation, but I do know from both professional and personal experience that the US makes it much easier for immigrants to come here and obtain citizenship than any country I know of. We have a generous system that allows immigrants to sponsor aged parents, brothers, sisters, etc. far beyond the nuclear family, i.e., chain migration. 60% of the people who get green cards each year do so thru a change of status, i.e., they are here under another status and apply to be permanent legal immigrants.

We bring in too many immigrants, many of whom are poor and uneducated. 20% of adult immigrants who head households lack even a high school degree. Immigrants, legal and illegal, use the welfare system to a far greater extent than the native born. We are importing poverty.

You are correct, sir. And I phrased that w/o thinking.

My sentiment is that I don't favor an open-borders white guy candidate who acts and speaks, at least to my mind, with more compassion toward illegal residents than to non-14th Amendment regular Americans. Especially one from the Bush Dynasty.

Cruz and Rubio are regular citizens and I like both and at this point could vote for either. Or both, perhaps.

Thanks you correcting me.

What kind of drugs is this guy on?

The drugs of wealthy entitlement, same one all the elitists take.

I think we are using the word "easy" differently. You don't seem to have a problem with an American citizen bringing in his wife to the U.S. to live.

Anyone can hire a lawyer or perhaps get a welfare agency to do the paperwork for them; that doesn't make it easy. The fact that millions do it and there is a high treshold doesn't make it easy. Perhaops we can consider LOWERING the threshold, but to have efficient and proper processing of the legitimate applications from those who do qualify.

There are a lot of ways to discourage legal immigration. Long waits, chaotic processing and self-contradictory applications with constantly changing rules are the worst ones, as it doesn't discourage the desparate, and incentivizes coming illegally.

Indeed we are and they'll stay poor, by and large, for generations. Thanks for those informative graphics.

I favor Australia's approach. I read that immigrants must apply and meet or exceed stringent financial and education type of qualifications. Also be healthy and relatively young. IOW, be a benefit to Australia rather than a burden.

That's just common sense.

To me, the ABSOLUTE proof that some rotten piece of crap that creeped through the border and is now a parasice sucking the financial blood out of real hard working, law abiding Americans is the fact that THEY SPEAK SPANISH and have no intention in ever INTEGRATING into our society.

How dare Jeb Bush smear the American lifestyle and culture by spewing Spanish to those who can’t vote legally? If they can’t speak English then that is absolute indicator that they sure as hell have not learned the required English to become citizens and since I have lived around them for so long here in South Texas...I know they NEVER intend to integrate into our society.

As far as I am concerned Jeb Bush is the worst person we could ever have to hold higher public office for the only reason that he rose up through the political ranks was simply due to “family ties” and political favoritism.

Now, the GOPe’s “fair haired boy” seems to be having trouble garnering “his rightful place” in the Republican party and the people seem not to be as stupid as he took them for.

I don’t believe his brother or “daddy” can apply enough pressure to those indebted to them to make the strings work.

“Stick a fork in him...he’s done.”

[Dr. Sivana]

Thanks you correcting me.

You're welcome. Even at the time, I figured you meant something along the lines of "I don't care if he is Hispanic" like one would say "I don't care if he's green or purple, if he's a good man." Unfortuantely, the way it came out didn't quite express that thought.

It also shows that most freepers think of the core of the man before his race or ethnicity. To the degree we might think about it (e.g. Dr. Ben Carson), it is primarily concerning how others (i.e. non-Freepers) would respond politically to a black candidate. When I think Dr. Carson, I think brain surgeon. When I think of Sen. Cruz, I think of him as being a stand-up Senator and a gifted thinker and Solicitor General.

Oops....change parasice to parasite.
