Jeb Bush: Many illegal immigrants come out of an ‘act of love’

[mota bhai 2,675]

"... the way I look at this -- and I'm going to say this, and it'll be on tape and so be it. The way I look at this is someone who comes to our country because they couldn’t come legally, they come to our country because their families -- the dad who loved their children -- was worried that their children didn’t have food on the table. And they wanted to make sure their family was intact, and they crossed the border because they had no other means to work to be able to provide for their family. Yes, they broke the law, but it’s not a felony. It’s an act of love. It’s an act of commitment to your family. I honestly think that that is a different kind of crime that there should be a price paid, but it shouldn’t rile people up that people are actually coming to this country to provide for their families."

Acts of love are not part of any GOP strategy.... Unless it involves page boys and picking up men with wide stances in airport toilets.

100+million chinese would love to come to this country....Are you willing to put aside your racism and open the doors with no strings .... Just buy a plane ticket and come. They would like a better family life also..30-40 million make less than a 1.50/day. If you would just open the doors up we could have over a billion people from all over the world. ... I have been in China during Chinese New Years.. It is so great to see so many people travel at one time. if you can get on a train you can stand up for 30-40 hours. until you arrive at your destination. We could have that joy here also. Look at just going for a walk in the city. You could share that experience with 4-5000 other people at the same time ,on the same block. .

Jeb is still enough of an unknown (nationally) that he could win, but I really doubt he will run,

We need another Bush in the White house about as much as John Boehner needs another tanning session.

Him and his serial killer painter brother needs to fade away.

First line, funny.

Second line, appalling and inappropriate. Guess they never cured your nagging case of Bush Derangement Syndrome.

It never fails to amaze, while superficially professing inclusiveness and diversity of ideas, just how intolerant the left is...

Have you ever read the comments that come from the right?

"People, who need people, are the luckiest people, in the world...."

You always make me giggle.

There are certainly over the top comments on both sides, but I believe that overall, the extremists on the left are much more intolerant (and louder) than those on the right.

Not really. When you look at gay marriage, where is most of the opposition coming from?When you look at anything that deals with minorities, who sticks their foots in their mouths more? Do folks on the left say stupid shyt? Of course. But to prove my point, you talk about loud? Who's the left's version of Rush Limbaugh?

How about Rachel Mad Cow or Chris "Tingles" Matthew? Blowhards both.
