Actually, Jeb Bush’s wife’s name is Columba. She was born in Leon, Mexico.
I think Bush is terrible on immigration for a number of reasons, and I think family connections probably is one of them. It is not an attack on Jeb’s wife and children to say so, but merely a reflection on human nature. And it would go a long way in explaining Bush on this issue. I mean, Bush isn’t just bad on this issue, he is atrocious. From his refusal to listen to the conservative position on immigration, to the leftwing rhetoric he uses, to the new leftwing policies he pursues, and to his refusal to enforce existing laws, the man has made other bad-on-immigration Presidents (like Clinton, Bush the Elder, Reagan, Carter, Ford, and Nixon) look stellar by comparison. So maybe it is love for family that helps explain such baffling behavior from an alleged conservative.
And it does raise an interesting ‘what-if’ about Jeb Bush. I happen to agree with most of the talk of how he would have made a better President than W, and that he would have been the nominee (and clear winner) in 2000 had he not lost the 1994 gubernatorial race. But had all of this happened, then its probably safe to say that Jeb would have been at least as bad on immigration as W has been.
Not surprised that you are from Texas.
The truth is that if YOU had done a little research you wouldn't have made such in un-informed statement.
Jeb Bush’s wife is a native of Mexico.
Her first name is Colomba.
She is not Colombian.
Check your facts. She is Mexican. Her NAME is “Columbo.”
Read Post 96 for WHY that is important (to the Bush clan, at least).
