Jeb Bush Insists on ‘Path to Citizenship,’ Says Deportation Is Not an ‘American Value’
Breitbart ^ | July 28, 2015 | Katie McHugh

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush told a Hispanic audience on Monday that illegal aliens must be given U.S. citizenship, and encouraging them to “self-deport” is not an American value.

Bush made his remarks at church in Orlando, where he discussed his Christian faith and support for amnesty for illegal aliens, the same day a CNN poll showed that 64 percent of Republican voter support deporting illegals.

Self-deportation is another matter: Since the vast majority of illegal aliens commit felonies in order to forge their documents, something like E-Verify could halt fraud in its tracks. No fake Social Security Card, no job, less reason to break into the U.S. Encouraging illegals to leave — and to take their massive crime wave with them — is a moderate solution to America’s immigration problem, but it’s too much to stomach for Jeb.

In a Spanish interview that day, Jeb also told MSNBC he’s “hurt” by GOP frontrunner Donald Trump’s comments that criminals from Mexico are illegally entering the country and committing crimes against Americans, such as rape.

“I was hurt hearing somebody speaking in such a vulgar fashion. This makes solving this problem much more difficult. When we have politicians like that we cannot progress,” said Bush according to a translator. “In a political sense it was bad, and it creates an environment that is worse.”(continued)

He wants his maid back. That’s pretty snooty. Most of American can’t afford a maid.

...he has a home and family in his own country.

You are correct, the term deport is so cold and easily used to emotionally manipulate the uninitiated. We should be more linguistically correct and state our case by saying "we advocate helping those who have wandered far from home find their way back home, to reunite their families, contribute to their communities and preserve their cultural diversity." We are about home, family and reunion.

Wonder if, in Jeb's mind, that applies to what they call OTM's, as well. (Other Than Mexicans)

Jeb is way out there. Doesn't stand a chance and this isn't by accident,
he wants that money and he also thinks Americans are so stupid
that some would actually vote for him. He's right, they elected Obama.

Voting for JEB is not an American value.

No, it isn't.

But rounding them up and returning them back across the border in cattle cars is an American value.

When did we become such a namby-pamby people that we would allow ourselves to be invaded and then be concerned for the well-being of our invaders?

My God, what has happened to us...

Not only that, but many many people, who came here LEGALLY, got sent back, for one reason or another, from Castle Garden ( where people came through prior to Ellis Island ) and Ellis Island. But then, jebbie is a moron, who fried his brains out in boarding school.

Well technically he is correct. Deportation isn’t an “American (government) value”...it’s a Mexican one.

At least down there they actually ship illegals out of their country.

Absolutely. I don’t know if I can think of one current public figure who has the character of Ike. But Trump has a more than a few traits of Patton.
