Bush was one of several likely Republican presidential candidates to avoid an event Saturday hosted by immigration hardliner and Iowa congressman Steve King.
When Jeb Bush said that to win the presidential election a Republican candidate might have to lose the primary, he probably had a weekend like this one in mind.
In Iowa, a host of second-tier possible presidential candidates — and a few big names — flocked to the first major event of the Republicans’ 2016 cycle: a cattle call of party speakers hosted by western Iowa congressman Steve King.
King, whose often personal and derogatory criticism of undocumented immigrants has made him a poster child for GOP insensitivity to Latino voters, drew New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, former Texas governor Rick Perry, and former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee to his daylong affair, which was also broadcast nationally on C-SPAN.
The tone, from the outset, was gloomy. America is “mired in darkness,” said David Bossie, a conservative filmmaker and activist who organized the event. Conservative talk show host Jan Mickelson opened the event by saying, “Nobody from Iowa cares a sliver about immigration. All of us came from somewhere. What we do care about is illegal gate crashers.”(continued)

Jeb “Flesh Head” Bush has a lot of things to say that might interest Democrats. He should run in their primaries.
Jeb Bush is NOT speaking up for immigrants.
Jeb Bush IS speaking up for foreign nationals who are illegally in the United States.
So this over privileged fool of a politician is giving open support to lawbreakers because his wife is the same ethnicity as the majority of them and he feels more allegiance to them than he does to you.
Viva La Raza! Vote for gordo Jeb!
Remember, there are a very large percentage of legal Hispanics who are very upset with the RINO illegal immigrant policy.
This is the Bush strategy of standing up to us, and not even pretending he dislikes 20 million Mexicans and central Americans just giving up the finger and coming here.
These idiots need to stop confusing IMMIGRANTS with freeloading, illegal alien invaders. They are not the same thing!
“Remember, there are a very large percentage of legal Hispanics who are very upset with the RINO illegal immigrant policy.”
Yes, those are known as “traitors”. Their first loyalty is to the best interests of a foreign nation, and to citizens of a foreign country. America last,,,,, that’s a traitor.
Wait, you are speaking of the American Hispanics against the wave I think. Those are true patriots. I thought you were speaking of the ones angry that the Gop hasn’t found a way to legalize their brethren yet.
Jeb Bush isn’t confused. He knows the difference. And just like his brother and Obama he’s telling you that he will not enforce the immigration laws.
He’s going to subvert the law and insist it be changed to amnesty.
Stay out da Booshies. They’ve done enough damage to the US. They ain’t conservatives.
Why doesn’t anyone ever speak up for LEGAL immigrants? They need some love too. All the politicians care about are the wetbacks.
“Why doesn’t anyone ever speak up for LEGAL immigrants?”
Because we keep electing Bushes and other card carrying members of the open borders treason lobby.
I swear to all that is holy I won’t vote for that bastard Bush. I will not.
Good one. Stay out the Bushes. For once I agree with Jesse “Shakedown Artist” Jackson.
Jeb needs to get lost, get eater by an alligator.
A lot of statewide Republicans won around 40% this past election too, even those strongly against illegal aliens
A yes to that, there are a great many who came legally to actually be Americans and they have no love for the ones that get to cheat.
If you read this drivel by Jon Ward it will eat your brain.
10’s of millions of Americans unemployed and many more under employed scraping by and this Bush wants to bring in 100 million Mexicans and destroy our country.
Smart and saavy Latinos kmow that retention of illegal immigrants jeopordizes their own families.
