Jeb Bush, governor of Florida and younger brother of the present President, has stepped up to the plate on the illegal alien issue.
He is accusing politicians of "pounding their chests" on immigration for short-term political gain, and that the tone of the debate had been "hurtful" to him and his Mexican-born wife, Columba.
Jeb reserved some of his sharpest criticism for conservatives in his own Republican Party, calling it "just plain wrong" to charge illegal immigrants with a felony.
Excuse me?
I consider it "just plain wrong" to sneak into America -- breaking our laws in the process -- then stay here illegally, clogging up our school and health systems in the process, while not offering one red cent to help defray the costs. The vast majority of them continue to flaunt our system and break even more of our laws by driving on our highways in uninspected cars -- many of them smoking junkers -- with no driver's license and no insurance.
That's just plain wrong, Jeb boy.
Also, there is no such thing as an "illegal immigrant". One is either a legal immigrant, or an law-breaking illegal alien... period. The very fact that one is an immigrant means they are here legally.
He also opposed "penalizing the children of illegal immigrants" by denying them U.S. citizenship, so he must favor automatic citizenship for any offspring of criminals -- whether they were born here or not -- since border-jumping illegal aliens are criminals.
Jeb boy has been very quiet over the years on the issue of his wife's nationality. Where she hails from is no concern, unless it affects Jeb's position on things. But how can he possibly make an unbiased decision -- or even a reasonable statement -- about this Mexican mess under such a circumstance? Or his brother either?
It's a bit easier now to see why the Prez is so paralyzed on this issue... One of the family women has his feet to the fire, as it were.
