Jeb Bush told Telemundo he wants a pathway to legal status for all 11 million undocumented immigrants in the United States.
In the interview, he talked about his immigration policies, his thoughts on Donald Trump and Cuba, and his home life and family.
“First, coming here legally has to be easier than coming here illegally,” he said. “So there needs to be an agreement with the border … for the 11 million people (who are here illegally), they must come out of the shadows, receive a work visa, start paying taxes and also pay a small fine, learn English, don’t receive government benefits, but they come out of the shadows and they receive legal status after some time.”
Bush shook his head as Díaz-Balart asked him to share how he felt about Trump’s comments on Mexico.
“I was hurt hearing somebody speaking in such a vulgar fashion. This makes the solving of this problem much more difficult when we have politicians talking like that,” he said. “Besides that, he was offending millions of people that are here legally. It makes no sense. In a political sense, it’s bad and it creates an environment that is worse.”
How did Trump offend millions of legal residents?
