“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.
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!
Is that a quote from somebody when they first heard about the Hoover dam or going to the moon?
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.
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?
Jeb: “Water for Terri Schiavo was not practical”.
Jeb. Bush. Please. Go. Away.
That's the problem with Jebbie and most of the border state politicians. They ignore the fact that it's actually the US/Mexico border, not the Texas/Mexico border, or the other states that border Mexico. Most of them want their local community considerations to be the number one priority and to hell with how it affects the rest of the USA when there is little or no border security.
It's time these border towns changed their ways because what happens in border towns doesn't stay in border towns, it spreads into all 48 states of the continental US.
Jeb is just saying what the establishment corporatists have been paying him beaucoup bucks to say. A good soldier but horrible presidential candidate.
Bush is a quitter. Needs to stay out of the WH.
You don't stop them.. you tax them, like everything else gets taxed in this country.
A border wall isn’t practical?
Length of US/Mexico border: 1,954 miles

Length of the Great Wall of China: 13,171 miles

The Great Wall of China was built before trucks and equipment were invented.
So... a wall isn’t practical?
Like Mark Steyn said on Tuesday while sitting in for Rush... Trump's popularity is based in large part on voters' anger at the GOP for being the "Party of 'It Can't Be Done.'"
This country -- when it was great -- sent men to the moon, won wars and protected its sovereignty. Even though the first two may now be out of reach, let's at least give the third a try.
