Highlights Of Jeb Bush On Immigration

Highlights Of Jeb Bush On Immigration

CNN dug up some old quotes from Jeb Bush on immigration. Actually, a left wing group dug up the quotes and CNN ran with it, but either way they are doing Republican primary voters a favor. This is the guy who is seeking the GOP nomination for president in 2016:

“I’ve never felt like the sins of the parents should be ascribed to the children, you know,” Bush said in 2013. “If your children always have to pay the price for adults decisions they make — how fair is that? For people who have no country to go back to — which are many of the DREAMers — it’s ridiculous to think that there shouldn’t be some accelerated path to citizenship.”

[…]

Other comments included that Bush declared that “it’s not possible in a free country to completely control the border without us losing our freedoms and liberties.”

Oh, and then there is this doozy on how to revitalize the city of Detroit:

He even suggested the mayor of Detroit — the economically depressed Midwestern city where he’s giving his first policy address of the 2016 campaign on Wednesday — use immigration to “repopulate” the city.

“It just seems to me that maybe if you open up our doors in a fair way and unleashed the spirit of peoples’ hard work, Detroit could become in really short order, one of the great American cities again,” Bush said then. “Now it would look different, it wouldn’t be Polish…But it would be just as powerful, just as exciting, just as dynamic. And that’s what immigration does and to be fearful of this, it just seems bizarre to me.” (Read More)

Jeb Bush seems bizarre to me, so do the people who support him. Except for the big business, Chamber of Commerce crowd looking for cheap labor. You just have to wonder how cheap that labor will be once the illegals are legal and the unions get their claws into them.
