As Governor of Florida, I had a front row seat to the immigration debate for years. As a husband and father in law, I've personally experienced how immigrants can make our life richer. Yet, since our nation's founding the immigration debate has been a challenge.

Jeb Bush is a 1st class idiot. I am so sick and tired of the bush name.

Demean him, personally, and attack him over his last name rather than the substance his position.

Very uplifting.

There is not much substance to his position. He has immigrants in his family and he loves them.

He wants me to love immigrants and look at all of them equally without using any critical thinking. He is challenging my ability to love immigrants over loving my family of Americans, first.

I stubbornly will not be swayed.

Too bad we don't have a comedy section on the forum. This bilge from dopey Jeb would fit right in there.

1. Most Americans agree that coming to the United States legally should be easier and with less cost than coming to the country illegally. Unfortunately, right now, that is not the case. We need consistent and stronger enforcement and we need a process for legal immigration for those aspiring to make a contribution to our country's future.

2. To achieve sustained economic growth for the United States, we need to reform our immigration laws from top to bottom. We cannot grow our way out of the structural problems we have without young, energetic and productive immigrants. Without immigration reform, our entitlement programs will overwhelm us.

---

So instead of solving the entitlement program, we will let foreign debris take over the country so that the whole place looks like a Tijuana whore house?

So he is endorsing a plan that has zero enforcement of the borders?

Correct Frank, the concept of growing your way out of debt while living on your credit cards is beyond stupid. A moderate GOP fantasy.

I thought we already did

Not to the extent Mr. Bush thinks is and will be necessary to accomodate his goal, as described in the 2nd of his points I presented.

---

There I think he is wrong and pushing baloney

I personally know many young, energetic and productive immigrants who have become citizens the right way.

Yes, one of them is named Mark Steyn. We have legal immigrants, what we do not have is politicians willing to stop spending.
