Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, a talked-about candidate for the White House in 2016, gave an interview over the weekend in which he bluntly said illegal immigrants are only trying to better themselves and should not be treated as felons.

Has disqualified himself to be President as he is saying he will disregard the law.

We already have a President who does that.

I was in WalMart yesterday, as I am 2-3 times a week. I got behind a Mexican lady, older, better with her English than most of them - been here a long long time, but NOT native to this country.

She had a cart of food which she had separated from another cart which did not have food in it. She paid for the food with an EBT card. She then pulled a brand new, new 100 bill out to pay for the other crap she bought that she couldn’t pawn off on us.

She was dressed really nice, elaborate gold brocade shirt, nice designer slacks, shoes, etc. Nice accessories, leather and gaudy gold adorned.

Followed her out to her land yacht parked in the nearest handicapped slot out front. Not one damned thing wrong with here. Of course she did it all out of love. Love of theft.

Shut up, Jeb. Just because you live with a Mexican immigrant doesn’t mean we have to.

I also will not even bother to vote for a RINO. Why would I vote for a RINO to do the same things to the country that the democrats are doing; then have the democrats blame a republican?

Bank robbers are also only trying to better themselves by getting cash that they otherwise couldn’t obtain. Yet, because the method they chose to better themselves happens to be AGAINST THE LAW, we consider them FELONS.

When somebody breaks into your house, makes themselves at home to your food and your possessions, takes on your identity and then takes access to your money, it should be a felony.

How dare you withhold your vote from a party that considers you a pain in the ass and could care less about the issues important to you. Purist!

Saying illegal immigration would be an “act of love” is sophistry in the extreme. Whether it is defined as a felony or not, the practice certainly flies in the face of any orderly and lawful administration of the admission of foreign nationals to the United States.

Smuggling goods into another country, in contravention of agreed trade agreements, is clearly illegal and held to be so by every organized government in the world. If the “goods” smuggled in are the labor services of the illegal immigrant, it is in no way different from the smuggling in of firearms or perfumes.

Perhaps more immigrants should be admitted than are now allowed into the territory once known as “the United States of America”. But it should be known WHO they are, and exactly why they are here. In any instance, they are admitted only on the condition they obey the set of laws that apply in THIS country, they are not allowed to also import their own code of legal jurisprudence or customs that may prove to be totally illegal in this country.

I plan in TX this year to leave the U.S. Senate race and the land commissioner race blank and vote for all other Republican candidates on the ballot. So I can’t use the master oval. I will be an “undervote” for Cornball and George P.

Will somebody sit this fool down and gently explain that we respect the job he did as Florida’s governor but his positions are those of LaRaza and the Teachers Unions not ours.

Try being illegal in any other country and see what happens. Here in Australia we have camps where they go to get processed out. http://www.thejakartaglobe.com/international/australias-pacific-asylum-seeker-camps-to-cost-2-billion/

Bank robbers are only trying to better themselves too. So are tax evaders. Should they get a pass too?

“Has disqualified himself to be President as he is saying he will disregard the law.”

Reagan dealt with the illegal problem by signing onto a one time amnesty program with the promise of strict border enforcement.

Reagan’s successor George H.W. Bush ignored the border enforcement provisions and allowed millions of illegals to stream in during his 4 years of office. Bill Clinton followed his lead. The son George W. Bush continued the lax enforcement of the law, fought building a fence, and tried to give a pathway to citizenship (amnesty) to the illegals already in country.

Like many members of the ruling elites the Bush family is globalist in its outlook. They all believe in open borders, free trade, and military intervention around the world. They are also corporatists, committed to advancing the interests of multinational corporations and too big to fail banks. The plight of small business or struggling middle class taxpayers is not part of their big picture.

Anyone who votes for Jeb Bush is not voting for individual liberty as understood by the founding fathers. A vote for any Bush is a vote for open borders and amnesty, one sided free trade, crony capitalism, and more foreign wars.
