Yesterday Jeb was ambushed by Carrie Meeks, D-Rep in Miami - again too convenient. Here's an email I sent her today - assuming she can read!!.
Rep. Meeks:
You should be ashamed of your performance yesterday "demanding" that Gov. Bush "call his brother" about the illegals who landed in Miami. Are you doing the bidding of the Clintons and McAuliffe by trying to "humiliate" the President - as was reported in Newsweek?
You've been in Congress for how long? What have YOU done to protect illegals? You are out of touch with the voters in FL if you think we want any more illegals collecting welfare which I remind you, is paid for with our hard earned tax dollars.
Why don't you do something positive like insisting the INS be re-organized so they can better protect our borders.
Looky what I found:

Dear President Bush,
As you know, more than 200 Haitian refugees landed on the shores of Key Biscayne yesterday and are now being detained at the Krome Detention Center in Miami-Dade County.
I respectfully urge you to issue an Executive Order directing the Immigration and Naturalization Service to release the Haitian refugees admitted to Krome over the past twenty-four hours. These refugees should be granted the same rights as others, and be allowed to seek immediate asylum hearings rather than be subjected to indefinite detention.
I also ask that you take immediate steps to ensure that Federal law and guidelines reflect the fair and equitable treatment of all people seeking asylum in the United States. For too long, United States immigration policy has contained disparities in the treatment of those seeking asylum, and I respectfully request that you take initial steps to resolve these inequities.
Your prompt attention to this matter is greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Bill McBride
