After visit to border, Jeb Bush attacks Donald Trump's immigration views as unrealistic

Jeb Bush sought to draw contrasts between himself and fellow Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, whom at first he avoided addressing by name, on the divisive issue of immigration after he visited the U.S.-Mexico border on Monday.

The former Florida governor said calls to build a big fence along the border are unrealistic and would not solve the problem of illegal immigration.

He said that his tour of the border with local officials made clear that “the proposal made by another candidate of building a fence…doesn’t work. You have to have a much deeper strategy.”

When a reporter brought up Donald Trump by name and asked Bush to comment on the real estate mogul’s hard line positions on immigration, the governor said “Mr. Trump’s plans are not grounded in conservative principles. It will cost hundreds of millions of dollars. It is not realistic.”

Jebby, it's that “vision” thingy. You don't know how to think big. The Donald will get the wall built.

This clueless asshole should do his homework. “The Fence Act” was passed by Congress in 2006. The friggin Pentagon was built in 18 months... in a swamp!

YebBer! mostly saying you need only electronic fence. LoL

So who controls the on and off levers to this electronic fence? That would be you YeB! You’re not to be trusted. Put up a high physical fence and back it up with men and sensors.

Jeb has been shooting the middle finger at conservatives for quite awhile.... now suddenly HE is the defender of conservatism ?


So has Donald TRUMP... now he is a RINO...

MANY Forest Gumps (up in here) thinks a RINO is a Conservative..

“With a box of RINOS.... you ALWAYS know what you’ll get”
{ you can quote me }

GET WHAT?.. More federal givernment, more taxes, more givernment employees, more federal corruption..

The children’s book, “The Little Engine that Couldn’t” isn’t the one that most of us remember from our childhood.

“The former Florida governor said calls to build a big fence along the border are unrealistic and would not solve the problem of illegal immigration.
He said that his tour of the border with local officials made clear that “the proposal made by another candidate of building a fence…doesn’t work. You have to have a much deeper strategy.”

Trump has a much deeper strategy, Jebbie, and even a fathead like you knows that. Besides a fence, he will use deportation, e-verify, cutting the H1b abuses, and ending the purposeful misinterpretation of the 14th Amendment’s born on U.S. soil provision. We need all these components, and more. Trump never said a fence alone would do the job.

“When a reporter brought up Donald Trump by name and asked Bush to comment on the real estate mogul’s hard line positions on immigration, the governor said “Mr. Trump’s plans are not grounded in conservative principles. It will cost hundreds of millions of dollars. It is not realistic.”

So we should embrace your plan to do nothing except more legalization. That’ll really stem the flow, won’t it Jebbie?

Oh, and none of us are falling for that ploy of how much a border fence will cost, considering the costs of our current open borders policy is many times that.

Move back to your wife’s hometown, Jebbie. It will be a win-win for all of us.
