Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, during a gaggle with reporters in New Hampshire on Friday, came out publicly for the previous Senate’s “Gang of Eight” amnesty bill that would have provided citizenship, public benefits and other goodies such as work authorization for every illegal alien in America.
“The book I wrote is a pathway to legal status, and,” Bush began to answer when a reporter asked him about why he is now talking about how he wants a “pathway to legal status” for all the illegal aliens in America rather than a “pathway to citizenship,” which he previously endorsed.
“But you were for citizenship at one point” the reporter cut him off before he finished answering, and Bush restarted his answer right after.
“That was a comma, not a period,” Bush continued.
And we created a conservative alternative to the dead end conversation as to what was going on in Washington, D.C. Now if you could get a consensus done, where you could have a bill done, and it was 15 years as the Senate “Gang of Eight” did, I’d be supportive of that.
But the position I have, the view that I have, the one I’ve expressed and the one I continue to express is that a path to legal status is more than enough to allow people to come out from the shadows and that’s what they want. They want to be able to come out from the shadows and work, be able to get a provisional work permit. There’s broad support for that and if we could get that done, our country would grow economically far more.
That means Bush is essentially publicly supporting the centerpiece of President Obama’s agenda, an open borders immigration policy where illegal aliens get to take jobs away from American workers....

Yeah, I wonder what Rubio will have to say.
Jeb is the worst Republican presidential candidate since Wendell Wilkie.
“pathway to legal status” “pathway to citizenship”
same same..
The only pathway they should have is one that leads straight to the southern border.
At this point, what difference does it make. Really. Uniparty.
Long past the abolition of the gov’t thing in the papers or somesuch.....
John Ellis Bush and his fellow hate America members at American Action Network, American Action Forum and the Hispanic Leadership Network have been funding Gang of Eight ads for several years
this is invasion of the body snatchers. I will stay home if he buys this with winner take all. ME AND 7 MILLION TEA PARTY PEOPLE. HE SUCKS.
FUJB!! Amnesty pimps need not apply!!
But I was proud to vote three times ( Lawton Childes stole the first) I don't what happened
I’ve tried my best to vote in all the Presidential elections thru absentee voting, but I’ll sit this one out if he is the nominee.
After what he allowed to happen to Terri Schiavo I guess he is in favor of the "Liverpool Pathway" for the US.
Something like a quick pathway from ward to morgue.
(For an understanding of how it works in the UK National Health....just Google "Liverpool pathway Controversy" and weep.)
I will never vote for Jeb. If the choice was Jeb and Satan, I would skip voting.
In the spirit of Ann Richards, put a silver fork in it...
Jeb, its one thing to say that someone who has been here since they were eight years old and is now college age should be able to stay. There is some argument for that.
But the question you have not answered (because it is never asked) is what about those who came last summer? And who are coming this summer? Do THEY get to stay? Please tell us your answer.

Sorry, Little Jebb-eye - you won’t be getting my vote. Just go away and shut up! That’s all.
The 3rd Booshie is a disaster.
