Jeb Bush — More Non-Reasons to Support Amnesty
“As a businessman, I recognize the vital role immigrants play in our local and national economies. For businesses big and small, immigrants are producers and consumers, workers and entrepreneurs,” says Jeb Bush in an op-ed in The Hill.”Across industry and skill level, the bottom line remains the same: Our economy requires an immigration system that allows for a future flow of workers and new citizens that reflects our nation’s economic and labor needs.”“These immigrants have become part of our communities, our businesses, our families.

The extra time lets agents determine whether to seek deportation.”
Nancy Pelosi Declares Immigration Enforcement Over
“Nancy Pelosi recently told Telemundo that violations of immigration law should no longer have any consequences,” says CIS Executive Director Mark Krikorian at National Review.”The implications are huge, and not limited to the tenure of this administration, since this is now the consensus Democratic party position. It means the substance of immigration legislation is irrelevant; John Boehner and Paul Ryan can stuff a million enforcement provisions into an amnesty bill and it’s all just for show if being an illegal alien is no longer a reason to be removed from the country.”
