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."

“Is this the woman who got caught shoplifting?”
No trying to sneak about $19 grand in foreign purchases through customs without paying the duty.
I nominate Palin!!
Here’s an act of love for you Jeb...
How about we send you Rino’s into extinction!
I hope his home is invaded and the perp says, “I did it for love!”, then sues him for lifetime financial and medical support, and get amnesty for writing a bogus check against his account and using a fake ID to cash it, then assuming credit in his name too.
Nothing like invaders draining our country like a thief in the night.
You took the words out of my mouth...they cross the border with all the kiddies and immediately get welfare checks. We have enough freeloaders of our own, we don’t need to import ‘em.
Yep because if people had to choose between a Bush and a murderer they would unfortunately choose the murderer(Clinton) if Ted Cruz runs we have a chance, but the GOP-E never learns, they are their own worst enemy, year after year, picking progressives as their nominees, does it ever work..NO!
If we were like the Roman republic, these people would be declared public enemies, stripped of their citizenship and deported to Mexico.
If so, looks like we’ll have Hellary as pres. If I’m going to be stabbed in the back either way, I’m going to make the one trying to use me pay for it, forever. Let the ‘rats preside over the demise of the country. They’ll be the faces of power when the shooting-from every side-starts.
If illegal border crossings are an act if love, then drug cartel murders and kidnappings must be an act of absolute infatuation.
No our job to provide jobs for the world. Stay in Mexico and work.
What bulls***! I was born and raised in rural south Texas, and the vast majority of those who come here as wetbacks do it because they are already criminals in their home country who want to stay under everybody’s radar-it has nothing to do with food, jobs or familial love. F’ you and the horse you rode in on, Jeb Bush...
Yep, let them be the ones in the halls of power when the people-all the people, each group for its own reasons-starts looking for the culprits when the wheels come off for everyone.
Jeb Bush lost me during the Elian Gonzalez saga. He just let the Feds run over him. F’ng wimp.
What is it with now using the word “Love”.
First Honey Maid does it to promote Sodomy, now Bush does it to promote an illegal invasion.
Mexico imprisons and/or deports illegal immigrants and visa overstayers with the quickness. While they sue us for merely trying to keep their trash out. Mexico’s elite know full well what they’re doing-it seems like almost every country in the world is dumping its refuse here, while our government battles to keep the productive, legal immigrants out.
Jeb must be under the delusion that the MSM won't beat these two dead horses because the stories have already been covered. Not only will they beat them, they will beat them every day like a drum
No More Obamas...
They aren’t going away.
