Jeb Bush will be back in DC this week to present a Council on Foreign Relations-sponsored report on immigration policy that calls for a path to legalization for illegal immigrants -- a position shared by his brother, former president George W. Bush.
The task force -- co-chaired by Bush and Mack McLarty, former President Bill Clinton's chief of staff -- argues that "the failure to reform immigration laws and procedures threatens to harm America's economy, jeopardize its diplomacy, and weaken its national security."
The report urges Congress and the Obama administration to undertake a new effort with three central components: "the creation of a more efficient legal immigration system that responds to labor market needs and enhances U.S. competitiveness; a strong enforcement regime that secures U.S. borders and ends the hiring of unauthorized workers; and a program of earned legalization that will offer an opportunity for many illegal immigrants to earn the right to remain in the United States."

I've said it before, the entire Bush family has a political blindspot a mile wide.

Jeb can kiss my ass.
If he wants credibility, he can demand that the laws of our nation are enforced. Other than that, he can go stick his head in the sand, if he can get it out of where it is now.

Jeb is trying to steal the thunder from the Dems on this matter. Read Dick Morris's Catastrophe.

Just putting our 12-20 million illegals on a path to citezenship will no doubt include chain migration, which would produce 10’s of millions of new citizens. This would swamp our system. If all we need them for is cheap labor, then maybe we should create a better guest worker program (after our unemployment problems go away).
If amnesty is achieved, I can see no way it won’t destroy our country as we know it.

Chain migration, and we are finished.
