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

Posted on 07/28/2015 9:37:43 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

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)

Keep talking there Mr. Pelican Man. The more you open your gums, the more you sink your chances at the brass ring in 2016.

They always make it sound like the poor deported illegal has no where to go. In fact, he has a home and family in his own country. That’s the same home he’s been sending all his money to.

The more he talks, the more I think deportation is a great American value. Him in particular...

“Eisenhower deported like 80,000 illegal aliens, so.”

But Eisenhower was a man and an American patriot.

Jeb is a boy who loves Mexico best.

Worth repeating.

Jeb’s only reply would be “But, the Chamber of Commerce guys picked me, and I can speak Spanish!”

No more Bushes or Clintons, for crying out loud. They are off the same damn assembly line, just slightly different wrapping.

Since when is being a nation of laws not an American value?

Using Jeb’s logic means that after amnesty, all new border invaders will get amnesty also. Then wave after wave... never-ending!
