Is Jeb Bush Proving to Be Tough or A Soft Act of Love on Immigration

Any candidate showing signs of being a "will-o-the-wisp" flip-flopper will not be the type to be dependable that can be counted on. Watch 'em close.

An earlier Washington Examiner editorial positioned Republican presidential probable candidate and former Florida Governor Jeb Bush as a not very conservative office seeker based on his talk about acts of love. This was based on a CNN interview with Dana Davidsen with Bush at College Station, Texas, on a Sunday Town Hall event to honor the elder GHW Bush’s 25th presidential anniversary.

“Jeb Bush said Sunday that many who illegally come to the United States do so out of an “act of love” for their families and should be treated differently than people who illegally cross U.S. borders or overstay visas.”

Huh? And how do we separate those who ‘illegally come to the U. S. out of love’ from those who illegally cross U. S. borders? Could this be called a “Bushism”?

Prediction:

About a year from now, expect the GOP-e crowd here on FR to slam anyone who doesn’t endorse JEB!, and call consevatives every name in the book for not for supporting, yet AGAIN, another flaming RINO open border cheap labor loving American sellout. The margin between the “lesser of two evils” are getting much slimmer with every election.

When George W. Bush was 13, his family acquired a nanny:

“She was standing on the doorstep, alone in the rain. She looked tired and scared. A few days earlier, Paula Rendon had said goodbye to her family in Mexico and boarded a bus bound for Houston. She arrived with no money and no friends. All she had was an address, 5525 Briar Drive, and the names of her new employers, George and Barbara Bush.”

Dubya goes on:

“I was thirteen years old when I opened the door that evening in 1959. Before long, Paula became like a second mother to my younger brothers and sister and me. She worked hard, aking care of our family in Texas and her own in Mexico. eventually she bought a home and moved her family to Houston.”

Bush has another inspiring example close to home. For more than a decade, Maria Galvan, 53, has worked for Bush, looked after his daughters, befriended his wife and won the affection of the First Family for her loyalty, decency and hard work. As governor of Texas, Bush encouraged his housekeeper to become a U.S. citizen. Bush's own brother, Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, married a Latino, and Jeb’s eldest son, George P. Bush, is seen as a candidate to go into the family business.

Bush met his wife, Columba, while teaching English as part of a university exchange program in Leon, Guanajato, Mexico in 1971. Columba was born in Leon in 1954.

GOPers want you to start compromising now, I mean why wait?
