Jeb Bush decries ‘chain’ immigration, defends fundraising at Koch brothers event
Washington Times ^ | 8/2/15 | Ralph Z. Hallow

Jeb Bush, now the undisputed king of fundraisers in both parties, came prepared on Sunday to address head-on the immigration issue, one of his biggest vulnerabilities with Republican core voters.

He told an audience of major donors that the longest-running, unaddressed problem the U.S. faces has been legal “chain” immigration.

Mr. Bush said it allows relatives beyond the immediate family to migrate to the U.S. legally. He said that the unending influx crowds out “economically driven immigrants” — that is, people who come to the U.S. to find jobs and education that will allow them to better themselves.

He said Canada is attracting more economically driven immigrants than the U.S.

Are we supposed to believe that major donors don't want something in return?

If the big donors really cared about the US, they'd be spending their money on HOR candidates who do not support Boehner or McConnell.

He makes a good point, but even a blind squirrel.....

Why are they giving him money? Can’t they see he is not the preferred candidate.
They must think with enough money he can be crammed down our throats.

Bush gets millions and millions of dumb donor dollars. If he doesn’t get the job, he keeps the money. He’s cashing in like Bill Clinton and he got the job.

Bush’s fundraising is a shakedown. He is the choice of the globalists and the money people know it. They are buying their way onto the elitist express to a one-world government.

So, he wants to curtail chain migration. Good.

Then replace the chain immigrants with “economically driven immigrants.” That is, continued massive swarms of third worlders who will be drawn to welfare like a magnet and will vote for Bernard Sanders or whichever socialist will promise the most bennies.

Jebbie—move to Mexico and run for presidente there. You know you want to.

Cruz has raised the most small individual donor money. Far and away, JEB! has raised the most big donor/K street/strings attached money. He is socialist RINO royalty after all.

Funding for the Election (in this order):

Trump using his own money.

JEB! has the most strings attached, US lobbyist/big business/CofC wealthy donation money

Hillary! has the most foreign (illegal), marxist govt., Soros donation money

Cruz has the most “We the people” donation money

I pray that both JEB! and Hillary! have the most trouble converting their dollars into votes.

Just because he can raise money doesn’t mean people will vote for him.

Hoax and chains.
Chains and anchors.
Don’t forget the anchors.
