On Wednesday, former Florida Governor Jeb Bush reiterated that immigration reform is hugely important for America even though the countrys middle class, as Bush acknowledged, is getting more squeezed.
Immigration reform for our country is so hugely important. Race is not a national identifier in this country. Were 34 flavors. Were as diverse as diverse can get, Bush said during a question-and-answer session after his foreign policy address at the Chicago Council on Global Affairs. And that is a huge strength looking over the horizon right now, where multiculturalism kind of creates pockets of despair in Europe in many cases.
Bush, who has been praised by top GOP 2016 donors for leading on the amnesty issue, said the United States has this potential of being young and dynamic again and, if Europe embraced that similar kind of approach, I think that they could see some economic growth as well.
But his response to an audience members question on the permanency of poverty displayed that his support for massive comprehensive amnesty legislation may make it tougher for Americans to move up the economic ladder.
Bush addressed the stickiness of poverty and the dramatic increases in innovation and exponential increases in automation that are making many more jobs obsolete. Senators like Alabamas Jeff Sessions (R-AL) have also addressed how automation increasingly threatens American workers. Bush said the increase in automation is a huge challenge for policymakers, especially since Americas policies have worked to provide material benefits to people in poverty, but they havent worked to lift them out of poverty and allow Americans in poverty to have the capacity to achieve earned success.

I’m done voting for liberals and traitors. To hell with him.
Good point.
Wow, what a perfect RINO candidate. He’s certain to get steamrolled by the Democrats, after first eliminating any serious Republican competition. This guy should pack up the rest of his clan and GTFO now. Don’t bother sending postcards from Paraguay, Jeb.
Yeah..
How could anybody in their right mind even consider this buffoon for Dog Catcher, let alone President?
Jeb Bush just admits he will not be friends of the Citizens of the United States just like brother Obama
Translation.... we have to finish off white america
Is it me, or is there a connection to JEB’S big money suppliers and his pledge for cheap labor for businesses?
Nah, couldn’t be any connection.
There is only one individual on the first tier.
And the irony is that almost none of them will vote for Jeb Bush anyway because the Democrats hate the middle class even more.
Jeb Bush should be confronted that because the squeeze on working Americans is so great, in exchange for this “amnesty” for illegal aliens, is he *willing* to pass laws to make “outsourcing” unprofitable, *and* to END the H-1B program?
That is, unemployment of Americans is a problem, and will be worse with amnesty. So why not *solve* the problem by making corporations that want to profit from American markets provide Americans jobs?
Romney got the GOP nomination by claiming to be against amnesty. By being pro-amnesty from the git-go, Bush has sunk his chances of becoming the GOP nominee. And that’s a good thing. He will waste a lot of donor money that might have gone to Chris Christie or Marco Rubio. And that’s also a good thing.
The issue of slavery destroyed the Whig Party in the 1850’s.
The issue of amnesty is poised to destroy the Republican Party in the 2010’s.
That's where you find Future Democrats. That's why we're doing it.
I am not voting for Jeb. If he gets the nomination I still won’t vote for him.
I wish he’d get busted by the Mexican Federales and spend a few years in one of their filthy jails. Anyone who supports amnesty for illegals belongs in jail to begin with.
STFU Bush, the media and money men want you , but we don’t and we are fed up of the party taking our votes for granted.
He belongs in jail for supporting illegals committing the crime of being here illegally.
The thought of money grubbing anti-American corporate welfare types blowing millions on this white elephant’s campaign is exceedingly pleasant.
