Jeb Bush defended his controversial comments about immigration reform, insisting they were nothing new for him and urging “sensitivity to the immigrant experience.”
Bush, who like Hillary Clinton faces the potential challenge of making a long-familiar name in politics seem fresh, repeatedly emphasized the need for the country to be “young and dynamic.”
STAMFORD, Conn. — Jeb Bush defended his controversial comments about immigration reform, insisting they were nothing new for him and urging “sensitivity to the immigrant experience.”
At a Connecticut Republican party dinner Thursday night, the former Republican governor of Florida did not repeat his remarks from last weekend at his father’s presidential library, when he said that people who come to the United States illegally in search of a better life for their children “broke the law, but it’s not a felony. It’s an act of love.”
This time the potential 2016 candidate put it differently.
Bush’s initial comments ignited a firestorm of criticism
“This past weekend, I made some statements about immigration reform [that] generated a little more news than I anticipated,” Bush told the crowd of more than 700 guests at the annual Prescott Bush Award dinner, an event named for his grandfather.
“You know, I’ve been saying this for the last three or four years, I said the exact same thing that I’ve said regularly,” he said. “And the simple fact is, there is no conflict between enforcing our laws, believing in the rule of law and having some sensitivity to the immigrant experience, which is part of who we are as a country.”
“It is not an American value to allow people to stay in the shadows,” Bush added, saying he’d just learned of a high school athlete at Miami Beach High School who’s been in the U.S. since he was a young boy but who was told to go back “to his native land…[the message the young man received was] you’re not worthy of being successful in our country.”
Bush’s initial “act of love” comments ignited a firestorm of criticism from conservatives. Bush hasn’t campaigned for elected office in 12 years, but is weighing a bid in 2016.
Bush has long advocated for immigration reform. But the issue has taken center stage in politics recently in a way it hadn’t in almost a decade, as President Obama and Senate Democrats have pushed for a comprehensive reform package the past year.
The younger brother of George W. Bush began his speech by acknowledging his wife, Columba, and their 40-year marriage, which other speakers before him took note of.
“I wish Columba could be here to hear me applaud with compassion and conviction” when that was mentioned, he said, describing how they met when he was in high school. “Forty years of marriage for me is a big darn deal and I love her very much.”
Bush’s speech sounded every bit like a dry run at a stump address, touching the topics of repealing and replacing Obamacare, the position of the United States in international relations, developing energy sources, fixing the tax code and reforming education.
Bush, who like Hillary Clinton faces the potential challenge of making a long-familiar name in politics seem fresh, repeatedly emphasized the need for the country to be “young and dynamic.”
“We can talk about it, we can yearn for it, or we can” try to fix the broken elements of the economy, he said, painting immigration reform as an economic driver.
He also called for entitlement reform, saying it could only happen once Obama left office. “We must fix our entitlement system before it overwhelms everything else,” he said. “We need to be real with the American people that this is not sustainable.”
He received his biggest applause when he declared that “we must repeal Obamacare and replace it with a consumer-directed, market-oriented” system.
He described a nation in which “economic and social mobility now has stalled out,” and repeated a theme from his recent speeches, that the party needs to stand for something again.
He denounced the phrase “the new normal – every time I hear it I get really sick to my stomach.”
“What we ought to do is to say that the new normal is that we’re young, and energetic and emerging again as a nation,” he said.
And he emphasized “leadership,” saying Republicans need to win in the fall midterm races – especially in governors’ races around the country. He referred only briefly to his own tenure as governor, in relation to his focus on education reform.
He also refrained from attacking Obama by name, but made clear jabs at his policies.
“We’re less of a force for peace and security around the world,” he said, adding that “terms like ‘leading from behind,’ and red lines that seem to have no meaning [are]…creating a tremendous uncertainty. Our alliances are weakened, our friends are uncertain and our enemies seem to be emboldened.”
He never mentioned 2016. But former Connecticut gubernatorial hopeful Linda McMahon, who was honored with the Prescott Bush award, made a passing reference to it in her speech.
So did Bush’s cousin, Debbie Stapleton, who noted that Bush’s mother, Barbara, recently said that Jeb Bush “would be the most qualified person in the country.
Now, what do you think she was referring to?”

June 22, 1999 TALLAHASSEE — Florida first lady Columba Bush made a mistake and "feels horrible" about her embarrassing run-in with U.S. Customs agents late last week, a chagrined Gov. Jeb Bush said Monday. "I can assure you it was a difficult weekend at our house," the governor said. "She knew that what she did was wrong and [she] made a mistake." Columba Bush was briefly detained and fined at Atlanta's Hartsfield International Airport on Thursday after her arrival following a five-day shopping spree in Paris. The governor was not with her. She declared only $500 worth of merchandise on a Customs form at the airport. But during a random check, agents found receipts indicating the governor's wife was toting about $19,000 worth of clothing and jewelry bought in France. Using a personal check, she paid $4,100 in duty and fines on the items. She was then allowed to continue to Tallahassee. articles.sun-sentinel.com...20022_1_columba-bush-jeb- bush-governor-s-wife It’s an act of loveIt’s an act of loveIt’s an act of loveIt’s an act of loveIt’s an act of loveIt’s an act of loveIt’s an act of loveIt’s an act of loveIt’s an act of loveIt’s an act of loveIt’s an act of loveIt’s an act of loveIt’s an act of loveIt’s an act of loveIt’s an act of loveIt’s an act of loveIt’s an act of loveIt’s an act of loveIt’s an act of loveIt’s an act of loveIt’s an act of loveIt’s an act of loveIt’s an act of loveIt’s an act of loveIt’s an act of loveIt’s an act of loveIt’s an act of loveIt’s an act of loveIt’s an act of loveIt’s an act of loveIt’s an act of loveIt’s an act of loveIt’s an act of loveIt’s an act of loveIt’s an act of loveIt’s an act of loveIt’s an act of loveIt’s an act of loveIt’s an act of loveIt’s an act of loveIt’s an act of loveIt’s an act of loveIt’s an act of loveIt’s an act of loveIt’s an act of loveIt’s an act of loveIt’s an act of loveIt’s an act of loveIt’s an act of loveIt’s an act of loveIt’s an act of loveIt’s an act of loveIt’s an act of loveIt’s an act of loveIt’s an act of loveIt’s an act of loveIt’s an act of loveIt’s an act of loveIt’s an act of loveIt’s an act of loveIt’s an act of loveIt’s an act of loveIt’s an act of loveIt’s an act of loveIt’s an act of loveIt’s an act of loveIt’s an act of loveIt’s an act of loveIt’s an act of loveIt’s an act of loveIt’s an act of loveIt’s an act of love
Earth to Jeb Bush
Exclusive: Joseph Farah whomps 'gilded prince' over comments about illegal immigration
He sounds like Barack Obama.
He’s condescending. He’s rude to people who simply want the duly passed laws of the land to be honored and executed. He’s holier than thou. And he’s clueless.
Here’s what he said last week about the subject at an event marking the 25th anniversary of his father’s presidency: “A great country ought to know where those folks are and politely ask them to leave. … There are means by which we can control our border better than we have. And there should be penalties for breaking the law. But 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.”
I’m not quite sure where to start in dissecting this touch-feely mumbo-jumbo. But let me take a crack at it.
People who believe that borders, language and culture are critical to the survival of a nation are not haters. They do not impugn the motives of those who long to come to America as most of our ancestors did. They do not want to lynch those who come here illegally. They simply demand an orderly and legal process for everyone to follow – for the safety and security of the nation. They want the law enforced. That’s it. What’s so hard to understand about that?
Apparently Jeb Bush believes only felonies should be prosecuted. Apparently he thinks a crime that is not a felony is an act of love.
This is just nonsense. It shows how severely out of touch with the ordinary citizenry this gilded prince really is. Nominating someone like this for the presidency will ensure the Republicans remain in the political wilderness again in 2016 and beyond.

The New York Times reports that when Jeb Bush left office seven years ago, he had a net worth of a paltry $1.3 million and a determination to make it grow.
Bush gave it his all with Lehman Brothers, in a frenzied last-minute attempt to keep it afloat that was ultimately unsuccessful. As a paid adviser, he met with Mexican cell phone billionaire Carlos Slim Helú in an attempt to convince him to make a large investment in the firm.
It seems Mr. Bush’s ties to Mexico run deep.
Within a year of leaving the Governor’s mansion in Florida, Bush was onboard at Lehman Brothers, assigned to Project Verde, an attempt to get their hands on Mr. Slim’s Green.
There were other documented conversations between Lehman executives regarding the possibility of Bush enlisting the help of his brother, the President, to persuade the British Prime Minister to allow a merger with a British bank as well as other suggestions. All parties to the conversations indicate that those contacts were never initiated.
Curiously, Barclays, which took over Lehman Brothers now employs Bush to the tune of “in excess of $1 million a year.”
Bush is also tight with Tenet Health Care, a company that aggressively supported and promoted Obamacare due to the profit potential it offered. Perhaps that is why he loves the Mexican “love criminals.” They’re good for his bottom line.
Bush’s corporate track record could someday rival that of his brother Neil. He was employed by InnoVida, a company that went bankrupt in 2011, and whose founder went to prison. The investors lost virtually all of their money.
The company insiders, as it turns out, had utilized faked documents, lied about the health of the business and misappropriated $40 million in company funds.” After a Democrat who lost millions on his InnoVida investment told Bush about the trouble with the company, Bush investigated them.
Jeb Bush also was a board member at Swisher Hygiene, a soap manufacturer. The executives acknowledged at the time that their financial statements were unreliable and that their accounting was inadequate. Once that admission was made, the stock nose-dived and a wave of lawsuits from damaged investors ensued.
Since 2007 Bush has been everywhere, from Wall Street to consulting to real estate.
He’s earned at a minimum $3.2 million from public companies alone, with his speechmaking bringing in millions more.
It’s clear why he’s an establishment GOP favorite and why he’s pro-illegal immigration. He claims it’s his idea of the right thing to do. The assumptions that he is speaking from a humanitarian position rather than from a financial one for his employers might be overly generous.

Jeb Bush realigns with GOP on border crisis

Jeb Bush puts ‘act of love’ behind him, stands with GOP on border crisis

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush is standing with Republicans on the border crisis, just months after breaking with his party on illegal immigration.
Bush, who made headlines earlier this year for saying illegal immigration was often an “act of love,” published an op-ed in Thursday’s Wall Street Journal that came out in strong support for sending the minors flooding the Texas border back to their countries of origin and changing the laws that let them enter the country.
After first slamming President Obama for his response to the crisis, Bush celebrated GOP proposals to revise a 2008 anti-trafficking law that gives additional protection to unaccompanied children who may be the victims of trafficking. That law, which Republicans say makes it difficult to expedite deportations, remains at the center of the congressional debate on the border crisis.
“He has failed to call for a change in the law, to engage across party lines or to take sufficient steps to keep more children from coming,” Bush said of the president, while promoting the “pragmatic” ideas proposed by various Republicans.
At the end of the day, however, he agrees with his party that the children should be sent home, despite the often dangerous conditions they have fled.
“Except for those deserving few who may demonstrate true cause for asylum or protection from sex trafficking, these children must be returned to their homes in Central America,” Bush wrote.
Many believe Bush will make a bid for the presidency in 2016, although the Republican hasn’t said whether or not he’ll run. If he does, however, it’s clear that immigration will be a key issue for him – just last year, the potential candidate released a book on how he’d fix the immigration system.
Bush did take it a step further than most in his party, though, advocating comprehensive immigration reform so fewer people would seek out illegal ways of entering the country.
“Finally, preventing similar crises in the future begins with making our immigration system fair and effective now. A chief reason so many people are entering through the back door, so to speak, is that the front door is shut,” he wrote.

No, the Truth must come out! May 5, 2014 Jeb Bush’s Family of Mexican Criminals One of the apparent top contenders to take on Hilary in 2016 is yet another Bush. Jeb, of Florida, has made it his mission to transform the Republican party from a group which does not support America becoming a colony of Mexico into a group which does support that. Fittingly, he is married to a Mexican woman, Columba Bush, and has produced a Mexican family. Two boys and a girl. Jeb Bush’s Mexican family, like most Mexican families, is a gang of criminals. Jeb’s eldest, George Prescott Bush, was caught in 1994 breaking into the home of his Jewish girlfriend, then destroying property maliciously. Back when he was a Rice University student, Bush was investigated for burglary and criminal mischief related to a 4 AM visit to the Miami home of his ex, Cristina Cohen, and her parents. A Miami-Dade Police Department report includes an account of the December 31, 1994 incident provided to cops by Murry Cohen, Cristina’s father. According to Cohen, Bush–wearing black shorts and no shirt–arrived at the residence and “went to his daughter’s bedroom window,” pulled it open, and “pushed the screen inward.” As Bush was “climbing in the window,” Murry Cohen awoke and spotted the trespasser. A neighbor of the Cohens also spotted Bush trying to get into the residence and began to argue with him. With his intrusion thwarted, Bush “backed out of the window.” Cohen reported seeing Bush then “jump into a vehicle and flee.” But he would not be gone for long. Bush returned to the home 20 minutes later and drove his car through the Cohens’s yard, causing damage to about 80 feet of the lawn. When police arrived at the residence, the Cohens identified Bush as the perpetrator. Cristina Cohen explained that she used to date Bush, but that they “have been separated for 1-1/2 years.” She added that Bush “has been a problem ever since they broke up.” After the Cohens provided police with Bush’s home address, an officer went to the residence and “spoke to him and parents.” But since Murry Cohen did not want to press charges, Bush “was not arrested on the scene,” according to the police report. When police checked back with Cohen several days later, he told a detective that he was not interested in pursuing charges against Bush, “and that he wanted the matter resolved.” Cohen then signed a non-prosecution form. His second child, the daughter Noelle, has been charged in 2002 with prescription drug fraud. Noelle Bush, 2002 mugshot The daughter of Florida Gov. Jeb Bush was arrested Tuesday in Tallahassee on charges of trying to fill a fake prescription for the popular tranquilizer Xanax. Bush and his wife, Columba, issued a statement that they were “deeply saddened” by the incident involving their middle child and only daughter, Noelle, 24. They asked the media and the public to respect their privacy “during this difficult time so that we can help our daughter.” A Walgreens pharmacist suspicious about a call-in prescription notified police at 1:15 a.m. when Noelle Bush showed up at the drugstore’s drive-through in her white Volkswagen to pick it up. She was charged with prescription fraud, a felony that carries a maximum penalty of five years in jail and a $5,000 fine. Noelle Bush has no known criminal record and was released without having to post bond. Experts say punishment for a first offense is usually drug treatment or probation. Noelle Bush has been cited for about a dozen traffic violations and was involved in three automobile crashes since 1995, according to The Associated Press. After being caught in the drug deal, it came out that she had also (probably) been charged with shoplifting in 1995. Palm Beach Post: But with reports Wednesday of a 1995 shoplifting offense in Arizona involving a woman with the identical name and birth date as Bush, a Leon County official who supervises the pre-trial release program said Bush might not be eligible. “If we find out you lied to us, you violated our first rule,” Wanda Hunter said. “That rule is to be honest. If she lied, then she most likely would be taken into custody or she’d have to pay that bond. Because of the profile of this case, this will be checked out.” Hunter said she plans to review reports of an Oct. 28, 1995, misdemeanor citation of a Noelle Lucila Bush in Flagstaff, Ariz. Police and court reports show that this woman appeared before the city magistrate on Nov. 6 that year and paid a $305 fine for shoplifting underwear from a JCPenney store. The woman, then 18, listed her home address as 3511 Verde Valley Road, Sedona, Ariz. The youngest son, John “Jebby” Bush, got charged with having sex in a parking lot in 2000. John “Jebby” Bush, the son of Dubya’s younger brother, Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, was nabbed having sex outside the Tallahassee Mall on Oct. 7 by a pair of mall security guards, who reported the steamed window shenanigans to Tallahassee Police Sgt. Oscar Brannon. Brannon’s report says Jebby Bush and his unnamed blonde companion, a student at an elite private school, were both “naked from the waist down” and locked in a lusty embrace inside a blue Jeep Cherokee. The cop filed a “sexual misconduct” report since the couple were having sex in public view. And in 2005 was charged with drunk in public and resisting arrest. AP: The youngest son of Florida Gov. Jeb Bush was arrested early Friday and charged with public intoxication and resisting arrest, law enforcement officials said. John Ellis Bush, 21, was arrested by agents of the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission at 2:30 a.m. on a corner of Austin’s Sixth Street bar district, said commission spokesman Roger Wade. The nephew of President Bush was released on $2,500 bond for the resisting arrest charge, and on a personal recognizance bond for the public intoxication charge, officials said. Wade said he had no further details about the charges. Gov. Bush and his wife Columba appeared Friday evening at a museum reception in Miami. “My son’s doing fine. It’s a private matter. We will support him. We’re sad for him. But I’m not going to discuss it on the public square with 30 cameras,” the governor told reporters. Presumably, the Mexican Bushes have also had other run-ins with the law, which have just been covered-up. They are both typical spoiled rich kids, as well as typical Mexican immigrants. Surely, a man who would raise such a brood of Mexicans is not the sort that any normal conservative figure would want in charge of the country. www.dailystormer.com/jeb-...ily-of-mexican-criminals/ It's an act of love It's an act of love It's an act of love It's an act of love It's an act of love It's an act of love It's an act of love It's an act of love It's an act of love It's an act of love It's an act of love It's an act of love It's an act of love It's an act of love It's an act of love It's an act of love It's an act of love It's an act of love It's an act of love It's an act of love It's an act of love It's an act of love It's an act of love It's an act of love It's an act of love It's an act of love It's an act of love It's an act of love It's an act of love It's an act of love It's an act of love It's an act of love It's an act of love It's an act of love It's an act of love It's an act of love It's an act of love It's an act of love It's an act of love It's an act of love

Does that mean we can pass a law now saying only true citizens and those with diplomatic immunity get into emergency rooms? He also called for entitlement reform, saying it could only happen once Obama left office. “We must fix our entitlement system before it overwhelms everything else,” he said. “We need to be real with the American people that this is not sustainable.”
