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."

It’s time for Jeb to ‘go away’ in a giggle jacket!
How exactly?
He can raise all the money he wants, I will not vote for him.
Fathead Bush has gone all out Kennedyesque with his sense of dynastic entitlement.
CRUZ or LOSE! And not one thin dime to RNC robocallers.
FUJB
Mr. Huxley please pick up the blue phone.
Yeah, well, how do you feel about the sins of the parents being ascribed to other parents' children?
Not that you'll ever have to worry about your children or grandchildren coming into contact with measles-ridden or TB carrying children.
Isn’t this also what all those libertarians who make the protest videos at the Border Patrol checkpoints say?
So Jeb married a Mexican woman and wants the U.S. to open the Mexican border so he can have more freedom? Seems like he wasn’t too limited by that border when it was actually being guarded. He should be hooted off any stage when he makes stupid statements such as this.
Deeply confused...
This guy is either the lead dumb @$$ of the world, completely disconnected to reality or a one world globalist moving the merging of societies agenda.
Either way, he’ll NEVER get my vote. Not even in the general election.
Damn, just reading his comments makes me want to hop in the shower. {{{{Grrrrrrr}}}}
Stupid idiot. Of course there are tons of houses in Detroit in need of landscapers and housecleaners but there's nobody living in those houses to pay those people.
It must be nice to have lived a sheltered and pampered life.
There appears to be some sort of serious disconnect from reality for the Bush Family.
Is this guy snorting cocaine or something? He's frigging incoherent.
“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.”
If it was Polish NOW is would look one hell of a lot different!
This argument is used all the time and will be used more because it naturally provokes sympathy.
The flaw in it is that it implies that they are victims of their parents or older relatives, yet none of these amnesty schemes ever go to punish those family members who brought them here.
In act they end up rewarding them too instead of criminal penalties (cant break up families) giving them amnesty too, and in fact Jeb himself called bringing the kids here ‘an act of love’, same onse he implies above are the victimizers.
We have victims but no victimizers, OHH, except us conservatives, we are the only bad guys to the Jebs.
I’m beginning to think that Hillary isn’t the only one with a drinking problem.
what are those giant holes in the door and windows?
We have depression-level unemployment and underemployment, and he wants to accommodate the millions who are here illegally, and welcome more in? I take special offense at that, since I am one of the underemployed and don’t see an end to it anytime soon. If he wants to “take it outside” with me, I’ll gladly accommodate him. What a dough-faced, candy-assed schmuck.
At this point, I’m more worried that enhanced border control will be used to keep US IN rather than keep anyone out
Happens to every socialist hellhole
