Jeb Bush made a series of astonishing remarks about immigration Wednesday. Actually, his comments were not so much about immigration as they were about illegal aliens.
First he said he wanted to repopulate Detroit with illegal aliens.
It just seems to me that maybe if you open up our doors in a fair way and unleashed the spirit of peoples' hard work, Detroit could become in really short order, one of the great American cities again," Bush said then. "Now it would look different, it wouldn't be Polish...But it would be just as powerful, just as exciting, just as dynamic. And that's what immigration does and to be fearful of this, it just seems bizarre to me.
Now, if we were talking about legal immigration, I would probably agree. But I think you and I both know whom Jeb was talking about "opening the doors" for. Illegal aliens are already roosting in our inner cities in the millions. Jeb simply wants to accelerate the process. But wait, there's more.
He said, during a discussion with Univision, that it was "ridiculous" to think that DREAMers, children brought to the U.S. by their parents illegally, shouldn't have an "accelerated path" to citizenship.
"I've never felt like the sins of the parents should be ascribed to the children, you know," Bush said in 2013. "If your children always have to pay the price for adults decisions they make — how fair is that? For people who have no country to go back to — which are many of the DREAMers — it's ridiculous to think that there shouldn't be some accelerated path to citizenship."

Jebbie has been around long past his sell date. Get lost Jeb ya traitor!!
He’s nuts.
What repopulate Detroit with immigrants. Hey I live in Michigan and I do have a right to say let detroit go. It is a hellhole right now, what it has to become Tikrit, fallujah or Mosul! Jeb Bush repopulate Florida with more crazy immigrants leave Detroit MI alone.
“I always thought his daddy and brother were for a united North America, not necessarily for a USA.”
I’m thinking they want a united North and South America, per Jr.’s 100,000 acre ranch in Paraguay.
What planet is he from? He can run for president there.
Maybe he’s onto something. We could set aside cities for gay Hungarian horseback riders, another for one-legged ballet dancers, etc. Then no one could complain about prejudice.
Jeb never threw away his pot. This is close to a brain-impaired statement.
How is ‘losing our freedoms’ connected with wide-open borders that deny security, economics, and fairness?
Rich liberals don’t live in neighborhoods where illegals increase the crime rate and lower property values. They only see the ones who raise their kids for them and do the yard work so they don’t rough up their delicate hands.
Go surrender somewhere else. Comments like that make Freepers look pathetic and beaten.
Jeb Bush is insane.
If he is the nominee, I will vote third party or something
You're surrounded by ragheads and savages with a traitor in the White House. You are beaten. Unless you don't really care about the prize. If you're one of those that thinks if you get a 'R' in the white house, regardless his politics.
You need to go sell that paranoid, defeatist crap to someone who'll buy it.
I'm not the one moaning, "What's the use?" You are.

Right? That's what's going to happen? Uh huh.
he’s a psychopath.
Well, TX just gave the son of a psychopath 70 percent of the vote.
The lines between the elitist political class and the bedrock population have never been more clearly defined as they are today.
If Jeb pulls this off and gets himself elected it will be an indicator that the special interests and lobbyists are completely and without equivocation in control of the entire process.
This could be because Richard M. Nixon refused to challenge the questionable election of JFK even though Maurice Stans raised money for him to do so.
I do not believe he can win because of these remarks and the attitude they betray. If you populated Detroit with unskilled illegal aliens it would only plunge further into bankruptcy. A wave of innovation which the ordinary man wanted to buy made it prosperous. A wave of illiterate illegals could not possibly create a similar effect.
