Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush returned Thursday to his oft-used assertion that Donald Trump "is not a serious man," suggesting that Trump's plan to deport 11 million undocumented immigrants would be a financial and logistical boondoggle and ignoring the GOP frontrunner's even more controversial plan to bar all foreign Muslims from entering the United States.
Speaking at a town hall meeting, the former Florida governor, who earlier this week tweeted that Trump was "unhinged," did not address the topic that has caused an outcry and dominated the news cycle all week.
Instead, he chided Trump for suggesting he would deport all the country's undocumented immigrants. The idea, Bush said, "sounds great." But, he added, "the cost of it would be extraordinary."
"That's not a serious proposal. A conservative proposal doesn't cost hundreds of billions of dollars."
Bush called for a series of steps through which the nation's undocumented immigrants could eventually earn legal status, but not citizenship. These undocumented immigrants should pay fines, learn English, and not receive federal benefits, among other stipulations, Bush said. He also said that immigration should be a tool for economic growth, adding, "We should pick who comes to this country."

El Yebo.
Perhaps Chipotle would be a better opportunity for him, there are thousands of people getting e coli there, it’s what he spews.
Why won't he? Why won't the rest of the Republican teams whining about Trump getting all the air time call in and explain their positions??
The reason Jeb doesn't call into Morning Joe - and the rest of 'em don't either - is they're afraid. Afraid to speak off the cuff - afraid NOT to be backed up with focus group tested ideas, afraid to speak without their speech writers.
Cowards.
IF Yebbie and crew are too afraid to face Joe Scarborough Mika Brzezinski and Willie Geist in conversation (without speechwriters and handlers next to them) then they're way too wussy and afraid to be elected President.
The American people know we're going to have to have a war President next - we see storm clouds moving in... we can't afford people afraid of their own shadows.
He’s as serious as a heart attack, Jeb!
So now you want all trump threads in breaking news?
Just the other day you complained that ALL trump threads are in breaking news.
Finally one that isn't and you take the other side!
When will Jeb figure out he isn’t going to be the nominee?
The Jeb Bush campaign is like watching a situation comedy that you KNOW is dying and will soon be off the air.
I said something similar to your statement to my neighbor's wife.
Her reply was.. "The Lord works in mysterious ways"
I hope your neighbor’s wife is right!! We need all the help we can get!
It’s cheaper to deport them than support them.
I wish that Jeb would go away. He’s an insufferable clod.
Surrender, Jebbers !!
JEB’s VP running mate will be the WWE wrestler Alberto Del Rio. (I read - not a wrestling fan - that he (Del Rio) is a citizen of Meximerica...It is a gimmick of WWE...
