Jeb Bush agrees that 9/11 happened due to Bush/Clinton immigration policies
American Thinker ^ | Ed Straker

Posted on 10/19/2015 9:27:45 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

Donald Trump took a lot of heat for implying that George W. Bush was responsible for failing to prevent 9/11. (He didn't say it outright, saying merely that it happened on Bush's watch, but I think it was clearly implied.) He said that our porous immigration system was partially responsible for the attacks.

And as it turns out, Jeb Bush agrees:

....a review Jeb Bush’s 2013 book Immigration Wars reveals that Jeb Bush himself agreed with Trump’s argument and admitted that our “leaky” immigration policy was responsible for the attack.

Bush wrote:

In addition to the Mexican drug cartels, the fact that several of the 9/11 terrorists entered the country lawfully under a leaky immigration system has heightened national security concerns—so much so that immigration enforcement has been placed under the Department of Homeland Security.

Whose leaky immigration system was that? Well, for years it was Clinton, but for eight months afterwards it was George W. Bush's.

Indeed, all of the the nineteen September 11th hijackers were voluntarily imported into the country on visas issued to them by our federal government. Almost all of the visas were issued in the predominantly Muslim country of Saudi Arabia. Four of the September 11th hijackers—Zacarias Moussaoui, Satam al Suqami, Nawaf al Hamzi, and Hani Hanjour—were visa overstays.

Trump didn’t have to rope-a-dope him too hard on that one, eh?

That won’t make Trump folks happy, nor will it make anti-trump folks happy.

Then there are the crowd that think the US Government never takes us into a bad war, so they will defend Bush to the hills.

So, all around, this does nothing for anyone.

If Jeb Bush has any brains and common sense...he will withdraw from the POTUS race, for he is going nowhere, fast!!! The multiple, obvious reasons he should do this are as clear as the nose on your face!!!

Someone should also ask Jeb why he gave a Florida driver’s license to Mohammed Atta.

Under Fire From Donald Trump, Jeb Bush Focuses On 9/11 Even Though Hijackers Got Florida Licenses

Agreed.

I dont know why Trump just picks on someone dead last in the polls. He’s just giving Jeb more attention. It’s like picking a fight with a retard and should put more attention to stomping on Carson on Cruz, his next 2 real challengers.

What this proves is that Jeb's defensiveness about his brother affected his judgment and memory.

If he is this easily flustered and made a fool of, he cannot be trusted as a strong leader.

This is the Trump Train:

He has told us about immigration, and how he would handle it;

He has shown that if we had good immigration laws, we wouldn't have the people that blew up the World Trade Center Buildings, the Pentagon...and has proven what needs to be done to enact the laws;

He has told us about how to get jobs back into America, and what he would do to do it;

He has a tax plan, and how it works;

He has a gun plan, and how he would work it;

He has told us obumacare is bad for the country, and what he would do about it;

He has told us that the immigrants are being treated better than our vets, and what he would do to change it;

He has told us why he is financing his own campaign and why he is doing that;

He has told us that he wants Education back in the States, not in the federal government and why;

He has told us why he wants to shut down the EPA, and the reasons why;

He has told us why P.C. is so bad, and how it is taking away our expression of the freedoms we have;

So this is why my support goes to Trump, he makes deals, he runs multi billion dollar companies, and owns them, with someone as brilliant as this, I want someone to put America on its feet again....

It just may do what Trump intended (nevermind the OPINION of the writer who insists he knows what Trump was thinking) that JEB making declarations of how he is somehow channeling his brother’s actions after 911 and not before is an issue that JEB keeps bringing up.

He knows Jeb is the establishment candidate and that he has $100 million which can be used to hurt Trump.

Jeb's the real threat. Better destroy him ASAP.

That said, Trump rides the campaign the way a surfer rides a wave. He goes where the wave takes him and takes advantage of opportunities when they present themselves.

Jeb has been attacking Trump because his donors demanded some improvement in the polls or they would start cutting his financial support. By attacking Trump, Jeb was showing some fight.

Unfortunately for Jeb, it won't work.

If Obama and the brain-dead democrats bring in 200,000 angry Syrian men we’ll have a bunch of terrorists events in the United States from that choice.

If Trump is elected, he’ll send them home.
