I... HATE... JEB... BUSH...

Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush discussing immigration reform on Fox News this Sunday:

"I'm going to say this and it will 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 family's dad who loves 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."

* AND THIS IS MY PROBLEM HOW...???

"Yes, they broke the law, but it's not a felony."

* THEN IT SHOULD BE!

"It's kind of... it's a... it's an act of love.

* IT'S AN INVASION OF MY COUNTRY!

"It's an act of commitment to your family."

* THEIR FAMILY! NOT MY FAMILY! NOT THE CITIZEN FAMILY OF MY FELLOW CITIZENS!

"I honestly think that's a different kind of crime that should be, there should be a price paid, but it shouldn't be... it shouldn't rile people up that people are actually coming to this country to provide for their families.

* YES! IT SHOULD!

"And the idea that we're not going to fix this but with comprehensive reform ends up trapping these people, when they could make a great contribution for their own their families but also for us.

* THEY'VE CUT THE LINE! THEY'VE BROKEN OUR LAWS! PLUS... DON'T WE HAVE ENOUGH PROBLEMS WITH OUR OWN SITUATION? WHAT OF OUR UNEMPLOYED AND UNDEREMPLOYED? WHAT OF OUR STEADILY CLIMBING DEBT... OUR NEVER-ENDING DEFICIT SPENDING...???

"So I think..."

* HIGHLY DEBATABLE!

...we need to get beyond the harsh political rhetoric to a better place.

* YES! AMERICA FIRST! AMERICANS FIRST! RETURN OURSELVES TO A NATION OF LAWS!

"The great number of people who come to this country come because they have no opportunities in other places."

* TOO... FRIGGIN'... BAD! LET 'EM MAKE THEIR OWN OPPORTUNITIES IN THEIR OWN COUNTRIES!

"They may love their country, but they come here because they want to provide for their families."

* AGAIN... WE HAVE NEARLY 50 MILLION PEOPLE ON FOOD STAMPS... SHOULDN'T OUR CONCERN BE WITH THEM AND THEIR FUTURES...???

"And they can make a contribution to our country if we actually organized ourselves in a better way."

* FOLKS... THIS IS JEB BUSH. ANOTHER BUSH. JUST THIS ONE TIME I'M GONNA QUOTE AL SHARPTON APPROVINGLY...

* STAY OUT DA BUSHES!
