Referring to Donald Trump and his proposals for a wall and immigration, Bush said, “How are you going to stop all of the remittances without violating their civil rights? This guy is now the front runner, he should be held accountable as I am, he should be asked how he should pay for it. Why don’t you prove to me it’s practical?”
“I’ll tell you what they say on the border,” Bush continued, “it would tear apart their community, would hurt their economic activity, and it’s not needed, and there are better ways to deal with this…”

“Tell you what I will do…provide more support for local law enforcement, make them the eyes and ears of the Border Patrol,” he said, explaining his plan. “Push the Border Patrol to the border rather than have them pulled back. Use technology, use drones and GPS to surge to places where there are weaknesses.”
Tell you what everyone. IF Bush #3 is nominated I WILL write in Trump for 1000% certain. NO WAY would I cast a vote for him after reading this article. Geez....he’ll “add more law enforcement” for what? To drag them here into containment areas and then send them about the country like Obama does?
This is JUST the sort of talk that has you soaring in the polls, you trainwreck.
I think he knows he’s sunk. Now he’s just running for the democrat nomination.
It’s like these people never heard of siphoning pumps and pipelines. It is all about policy and flouting of current law. At least an Israeli style fence would intimidate some of these rats infesting our country.
Sorry Bushie, everyone is tired of pathetic excuses.
Build the gdamn wall already!
He is right, actually, there is a simple solution. “A wall” is metaphorical. Just start enforcing immigration laws and start punishing employers who break them. That wall will work just fine.
“And you want a huge portion of the U.S. populace voting for YOU after that comment?”
>>>>Here’s my take on his tactics. Biden AND Clinton are not only weak candidates for Dems, but have plenty of problems to hurt them in the polls. IF Bush #3 can whisper sweet nothings into the ears of Democrats they MAY just pull the leaver for him instead of their party’s nominee. That would add to the voters who go GOP regardless from 1st time they vote to the grave. Just my idea now....
Is that a quote from somebody when they first heard about the Hoover dam or going to the moon?
“He is right, actually, there is a simple solution. “A wall” is metaphorical. Just start enforcing immigration laws and start punishing employers who break them. That wall will work just fine.”
>>>> Bush is not right. You seem to forget another huge issue is drug dealers/runners who come across to do their business and scatter right back. Or the “mules” bringing dozens if not hundreds in every week. A lovely wall would prevent a very, large number of these folks from having the simple time they do skirting across.
Dear jeb,
If a wall is not feasible, then, bring our troops home from Europe, and put them on the border with orders to shoot to kill.
I was leaving the door open a crack for voting for Jeb, it was at 1% probablility in case it was down to him and Lindsey.
I’m now down to 0% after this ridiculous statement.
THEIR civil rights? Come before the civil rights of US citizens? The ones whose jobs they're undermining to get that money they send back to their homelands?
He can't build a wall?....doesn't that mean we should have a President who builds big, wonderful massive structures?
Jeb isn't just stupid, arrogant, entitled, unaccountable, elitist, bought and paid for, unpleasant and obnoxious. He's evil.
JBS Swift is a huge meat-processing company that actively conspires to violate US immigration and other laws. Start with more regional/local managers and hand out some 30-year sentences and a lot of these problems will start solving themselves.
What’s lacking is political will.
If you dry up the “river they swim in” the Border Patrol’s job would be so much easier.
I just read that quote and had a thought. By Jeb’s logic, the wall should be built south of the Rio and the US should claim the river and both of its shores. That should address Jeb’s main concern about the wall.
The wall is a psychological barrier as well as a physical barrier. It tells them to stay the hell out, it tell us out government respects us and our borders.
Civil rights? Are income taxes or *any* taxes paid on that money?
I vividly remember listening to G Gordon Liddy and Rush the day the congresscriminals tried to slip an amnesty bill through for Bubba. Folks melted the phone lines to DC. It literally scared the crap outa the congresscritters. Even so, not one politician gleaned from that experience what they should have. Now along comes a guy who does “get it” and they just can’t stand it. I don’t care for Savage but on these he is right and has been for 15 years. Border, language, culture. We have it or we don’t.
