Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush is calling on President Donald Trump to end the “heartless” policy of separating immigrant children from their parents at the U.S. border. “Children shouldn’t be used as a negotiating tool,” Bush tweeted on Monday. “@realDonaldTrump should end this heartless policy and Congress should get an immigration deal done that provides for asylum reform, border security and a path to citizenship for Dreamers.”
The failed presidential candidate’s plea came in response to President Trump’s tweet in which he vowed to stop “some of the worst criminals on earth,” from using children to illegally enter the U.S.
“Children are being used by some of the worst criminals on earth as a means to enter our country,” President Trump said. “Has anyone been looking at the Crime taking place south of the border. It is historic, with some countries the most dangerous places in the world. Not going to happen in the U.S.”
Bush joins a chorus of Republicans, such as Nebraska Senator Ben Sasse and Ohio Governor John Kasich, calling for the policy to be halted.
“Let’s get it right. We’re America,” the Ohio governor said in a video posted to Twitter last Friday. “We have a big heart. We love people. At the end of the day, we don’t want to create an image that we don’t care, because we really do.”

Ahhhh mr tippy toes speaks. That was one of the most pathetic I have ever seen do. We need a pic
Dallas Texas 2006, during war time, under Republican George Bush.
500,000 illegal aliens march on Dallas Texas pushing foreign flags in our faces and while making demands and threats. All while brother George Bush celebrated Cinco De Mayo up in the White House...During war time.
The “Bushies” are now completely immersed in the deep swamp of oblivion. Their impact across the board is “Zero”.
They may now reside in cesspool, comfort along with the human, scum, vermin and low life that includes Barack Hussein Obama, Michelle Obama, Hillary Clinton & Bill Clinton.
You demand, Jeb? How about you take some of that illegally-gotten money that your crime family procured and buy your “compassion”? Hmmm?
The Bush Crime Family.
A pox on the entire clan.
This is great! Problem solved. The Bush families are going to open up their vast ranches and take these poor “immigrants” and give them all a home.
Trump, by far the best president of my lifetime...
Jebby quiet during Obuma….
Then they pick up dog sh— and throw it in Trump’s direction. The hypocrites.
Thank You President Jeb Bush.......sarc
Trump is amazing. I don’t know how he handles this constant onslaught of attacks from the left.
Jen..... did you win? Didn’t think so. Now sit down.
And the thought of a “chorus” of Republicans joining to attack President Trump makes my blood boil. The lousy grandstanding RINOs, bruising their backs with self-loving pats.
God help us if this PR ploy works and the stupid undecideds vote Dem to save the children from the meany Trump guys. What a load.
It will be on TV 24 hours and watch for sobbing tykes with a Popsicle telling how the GOP guards tore them from their “mommy” (who actually never saw them before the gangs paid her cash to say they were hers and send the tykes out as PR actors.
E’s a kid that never grew up and that is why I had no use for anything he had to say. He was done before he started!
“Demands”???
Ol’ Low Energy Jebbie is in NO position to demand anything.
Are we supposed to clap now?
Okay Liberals, how many beings from countries other than the U.S. are you willing to welcome? When does it stop? I want to know the answer to those two simple questions. How many?How about we just trade the U.S. for all the people in Europe, Asia and South America and we will move to those countries and start over.
So...we hear from “prominent Republicans” opposing Trumps policy
Flake
Collins
Jeb
Laura B.
Sasse
Kasich
Gee. I just can’t put my finger on what they all have in common
