Jeb Bush on Donald Trump’s immigration ideas: ‘A plan needs to be grounded in reality’

COLUMBIA, S.C. -- Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush on Monday night dismissed as impractical Donald Trump's proposals to erect a U.S.-Mexico border wall, use remittances to pay for its construction and to revoke birthright citizenship.

"How do you revoke remittances?" he asked shaking his head. "A plan needs to be grounded in reality."

"I like my plan," he added in a one-on-one interview with The Washington Post.

The former Florida governor has written and said more about comprehensive immigration reform than any other presidential candidate of either party. A 300-page book he published in 2013 outlines in minute detail how the country could establish a path to earned legal status for the millions of undocumented immigrants living in the country while also revamping other elements of the nation's immigration system. Bush initially supported a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants, but in recent years has shifted his focus to legalization.

The only reform needed is to ENFORCE THE LAW.

We need to reduce legal immigration significantly.

Jeb, Where is this plan you speak of? Let’s see you put it up for all of us to see.

Pushing Jeb on the American people shows just how out of touch the GOPe is. It’s a clown show.

The tragic thing is, he does want to be president.

He’s just that out of touch with reality.

Faced with massive support for Trumps 2015 immigration policies, Bush quadruples down on 1990s immigration logic.

Shocking really...

"Donald Trump and Jeb Bush to Hold Dueling Town Halls"

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3325862/posts

"When asked about the dueling town halls Monday afternoon, Mr. Trump was flip.

“Because Bush draws so poorly, I figured it would be a good time to draw a crowd. Something like that,” Mr. Trump told a Wall Street Journal reporter when asked about the matter at the businessman’s jury duty appearance at state Supreme Court in Manhattan Monday. "

I’m not sure we could remove citizenship from children born here, but we could probably have a law that any baby born here must have been born 10 months after the mother arrived.

I didn’t suggest that we remove citizenship retroactively.

Jeb Bush’s plan is grounded in reality. Leave the border OPEN and you get this country turning into a third world economy with no middle class, haves and have nots only, disease and crime staggering. That is reality. Oh, sorry, no, it’s an act of LOVE to destroy this country by not defining her borders.
