Yes Jeb, "this is on tape".... too bad but it's good to know what your attitude is toward entering the Country illegally, i.e., it's not a felon. You should learn from your brother about talking love talk.
Former Florida governor Jeb Bush said Sunday that many who illegally come to the United States do so out of an "act of love" for their families and should be treated differently than people who illegally cross U.S. borders or overstay visas. The comments came during an event marking the 25th anniversary of the presidency of George H. W. Bush at the library and museum that bears the name of the Bush patriarch. The event was closed to reporters, but moderated by Fox News anchor Shannone Bream and portions of the event were later broadcast on the Fox News Channel.
Asked about immigration, Bush started by saying that a bipartisan bill passed by the Senate last year made "a good effort" at proposing ways to ensure that people overstaying visas leave the country.
"A great country ought to know where those folks are and politely ask them to leave," he said, adding later that properly targeting people who overstay visas "would restore people's confidence" in the nation's immigration system.
"There are means by which we can control our border better than we have. And there should be penalties for breaking the law," he added. "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.

The Bushes are citizens of the world who do not have much respect for Americans, American workers, American families, legal immigrants who come here to partake of the traditional American culture, or the rule of law. They just hide it better than the current resident of the WH.
It's sad that this is what passes for an opposition party. So much for voting the -D bums out. Mostly they're just replaced by -R bums with better window dressing.

It doesn't matter to me who you love and choose to marry (as long it is a member of the opposite sex).
But I suspect that on the issue of the invasion of the Latin hordes, Jeb hears a voice sympathetic to the illegal immigrant in his ear and it ain't his conscience.
