Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush discussing immigration reform on Fox News this Sunday:
"I'm going to say this and it will be on tape, and so be it. The way I look at this is someone who comes to our country because they couldn't come legally, they come to our country because their family's dad who loves their children was worried that their children didn't have food on the table, and they wanted to make sure their family was intact. And they crossed the border because they had no other means to work to be able to provide for their family. Yes, they broke the law, but it's not a felony. it's kind of -- it's a -- it's an act of love. It's an act of commitment to your family. I honestly think that's a different kind of crime that should be, there should be a price paid, but it shouldn't be -- it shouldn't rile people up that people are actually coming to this country to provide for their families. And the idea that we're not going to fix this but with with comprehensive reform ends up trapping these people, when they could make a great contribution for their own their families but also for us.
So I think we need to get beyond the harsh political rhetoric to a better place. The great number of people who come to this country come because they have no opportunities in other places. They may love their country, but they come here because they want to provide for their families. And they can make a contribution to our country if we actually organized ourselves in a better way."

Don’t vote for evil...just write in a conservative candidate you like.
“The job he takes from an American “
Why is it a given that an immigrant, legal or illegal takes a job away from an American ?
Cheap labor for CA farmers means cheap prices for vegetable and Citrus export. I would say that is creating jobs and helping the trade deficit.
And legal immigrants like Rupert Murdoch, Sergei Brin (google), create lots of jobs.
“I have worked with illegals in some labor temp jobs and have found them to be honest and hard working. But the love needs to be for our citizens first!”
I can think of a lot of lazy americans like “the obamaphone lady” that I have no love for and would like to kick them out.
“What is wrong with these people? Are they going to let all crime go unpunished? We were a nation of laws but not any more.”
Our laws mostly derive from a judeo christian heritage.
Murder is a sin and a crime. Ditto for theft.
Illegally crossing a border is not a sin and is only a crime if you fail to get the proper government papers.
“My act of love for my Country: defend her borders, language, and culture from traitors like Jeb Bush.”
Yep, Brown, Yellow or Black need not apply.
If that’s true, that people want so much better for their kids, then do what hundreds of THOUSANDS os LEGAL immigrants have done.
Stand in the lines, do the paperwork, and wait . Just cause you want better doesn’t mean that you ARE better than all those that did it thright way.
“Jeb Bush lost me during the Elian Gonzalez saga. He just let the Feds run over him. F’ng wimp.”
Uh oh. Do you mean to say you want that illegal brown skinned kid to stay in the USA ?
The MSM will go after the gop like a rabid wolf who has not eaten in 3 days.
The MSM tried to hang Romney for cutting some guys hair in High school.
No more Bush b.s.
How does one become a philanthropist? I should have been one.
Would Jeb grant them citizenship? so they could then vote themselves the power to take everything from those who built this country?
I say close all the borders! to legal and illegal emigrants! and put up a sign “no vacancy!”
You sir, are a moron.
Jeb is not a BUSH. He’s a Nightshade plant. POISONOUS!
He’s reciting Chamber of Commerce talking points:
“The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is the Big Money (K-Street) influence within the Establishment GOP. The CoC’s President is Tom Donohue. The CoC has three 2014 demands of Republicans:
1. Keep ObamaCare intact at all costs.
2. Get Immigration Reform and Amnesty Legislation passed.
3. Support Common Core federal education standards in all 50 states.
The CoC has committed to attack any non-establishment Republican candidate who does not support their objectives. The CoC has pledged tens of millions toward defeating Tea Party candidates. Karl Rove is one of the SuperPacs carrying out their agenda...”

Yes, well the leftist have bred a dependent class and sort of bribed their way to power. Their time is ending soon.
And his capitulation on the Terri Schiavo court-ordered execution as well!
Jeb Bush is coward & betrayer & backstabber all the way through his reprobate corrupt body!
All can think as I read this bs is, “You got to be kidding me!” For real, does he actually BELIEVE this?! (Rhetorical question ‘cause I already KNOW the answer: he is attempting to run for the office of President on this ridiculous platform of illegal immigration made somehow legal just because of “the love.”)
Well, just in case anyone was unclear if Bush3 was a RINO....
And in other news....”I robbed the bank for love of mon..er..family.
Yep, illegals come here for love of free stuf...er, family.
Oh, those poor Mexicans (vast majority of illegals) having to flee a super rich country just because it’s a corrupt oligarchy. Cry me a river.
Here’s a stupid idea; try dealing with the corrupt oligarchy and stop this crap. To hell with their oil.
Ain’t got the gonads Jeb?
Yes, we get it, Little Lord Jeb Bush.
If an American peasant crosses his or her eyes the wrong way, it's a FELONY!!!
But, if Hispanic-From-South-Of-The-Border Jose Illegal does it, it's "an act of love".
"peasant law" - it's what native-born American peasants are having for breakfast.
And lunch, and dinner...
