WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Jeb Bush, a potential Republican presidential candidate in 2016, said on Sunday that illegal immigrants who come to the United States to provide for their families are not committing a felony but an "act of love."
In comments at odds with the views of many in his party, Bush, the son of the 41st president and brother of the 43rd, said of the divisive immigration issue: "I think we need to kind of get beyond the harsh political rhetoric to a better place.
"I'm going to say this and it will be on tape and so be it," Bush said in an interview with Fox News host Shannon Bream in an event at the Texas presidential library of his father, George H.W. Bush.
"The way I look at this is someone who comes to our country because they couldn't come legally ... 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.
A comprehensive immigration reform bill passed the Democratic-controlled U.S. Senate in June 2013 but has stalled in the Republican-controlled House of Representatives.
IMO this is not the new face of "republica" but a man trapped by the unqualified loser candidates his party can come up with, remember the circus circus last election season? they lost the great white hope Christie so now true to form they go back to the past to pick someone who wears the scarlet letter of his brothers failed presidency. as far as letting them know at years end that is him waiting to see the outcome of the midterm if they win he is more likely to run but if they are rejected a 3rd time he won't. he really does not want the drama mama Bush is right we've had enough Bush's.
Recent polls have suggested that if he were to run, Bush, a former Florida governor, would be weighed down by Americans' lingering attitudes toward his brother, George W. Bush, who left office in January 2009 as one of the least popular presidents in U.S. history.
i'm wondering how they can sell him to the nation when the nation is still in the turmoil left by the last Bush of which Jeb said he was proud of his brothers presidency problem is more than half of America is not. would love to see the look on his face when the party overlooks his off the hook remark about immigration and want him anyway, it speaks to their desperation and his dismay of really being trapped, i really don't think he has the gut for what his candidacy will bring.
