Jeb Bush to NR: ‘I Just Think You’re Wrong on Immigration’
National Review ^ | 4/30/15 | BRENDAN BORDELON

Posted on 05/01/2015 5:45:01 AM PDT by jimbo123

Prospective Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush clashed with National Review editor-in-chief Rich Lowry over immigration policy on Thursday, telling Lowry “I love you. I just think you’re wrong on immigration.”

-snip-

“This isn’t a zero-sum game,” Bush said, taking issue with Wisconsin governor Scott Walker’s contention that an immigration policy should, first and foremost, be based on protecting American workers and American wages.

“[If] you want to grow at 4 percent instead of 2 percent per year, you need younger, more dynamic people inside of our economy to get to 4 percent growth,” he said. “You can’t do it with a declining population, you can’t do it with a pathetic productivity rate,” he continued, warning that America ran the risk of going the way of Japan and parts of Europe if it didn’t institute immigration reforms.

I don’t think he cares. He is part of advancing the Chamber of Commerce’s agenda. Even he can’t be this stupid.

I’m so tired of Jeb’s propaganda. He’s brought out every demonizing concept he can think of. We’re protectionists “first and foremost,” betrayers of what made America great, racists, yahoos . . . I’m sure there’s more where that came from. Just give him time.

Sessions has called for moderation, not a complete cutting off of legal immigration. Look at the figures. They’re all over the place. He’s suggested cutting legal immigration to about 500,000 a year. No one is suggesting cutting it off entirely.

Jeb is going after Walker, the front runner. That’s all this amounts to. And licking the ants of big business behind a thin veil of propaganda.

C. 1989 I heard a young white South African speak in defense of the end of apartheid. I don’t think he knew what was in store for his people, but maybe he didn’t think of himself as white.

Pat Buchanan warned about "legal immigration" too, but I don't recall which year. He's been a prophet on the issue, but Republican primary voters still favor Bushes.

This legalizing crap is just more kicking the can. The insiders know we are screwed soon with the increasing demands on Social Security and Medicare. We spent the last 40 years aborting today’s taxpayers and we need new blood. A Ponzi scheme crumbles when you run out of new “investors.” This is only about getting more money to try to avoid the demand by retirees. They know they’ll all be replaced when the system crumbles.

I voted for his father and his brother both times, I will not vote for this a$$clown. He should switch parties to a D based on his policies.

I’m sure a lot of white South Africans were on board-it couldn’t have happened without their co-operation. They really believed. They were wrong, but are hardly to blamed, at least at that point in time, for really believing. between the weight of the west against them, and their own desire to “do the right thing” (which seems to exist to a suicidal degree in whites), and the worldwide propaganda campaign, it would have been hard to continue to resist. They probably really believed that things would be fair and equal, and had no idea that the blacks would take the country down out of spite and revenge. The same thing happens here, it’s just that blacks are no where near a majority here. But they have been given unequalled political power and clout, to make up the lack of numbers and economic power. (TPTB are working on that economic inequality, by destroying the middle class and redistributing “wealth” from the productive to the parasites).

If we wanted, we could get lots of college-educated Europeans in their 20s.

I like that idea. Target Germany, France, Finland, Sweden and the other countries where college is paid for by the government. They'd be debt free and ready to spend.

Beware the politician who believes that “growth” and “productivity” are more important than American citizens.

This was the problem with the Whig leadership. They couldn’t bring themselves to oppose slavery, because it was “good for business”. Eventually the rank and file of the Whig party told them to go to hell and formed the Republican party, to steadfastly oppose slavery.

Then, after a few years, all the remaining “The business of America is business” Whigs joined the Republican party, and started their long ascent to its leadership again.

A most wise observation and understanding of the whites’ lack of discernment

It’ amazing how many Republicans in TX and FL don’t know the record of Jebbie.

What more can be said about a Bush than that as William Scranton, Sr., warned of Goldwater, he will be “soundly repudiated by the American people”.
