The former Florida governor was forced to halt his speech before the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce in Houston to remind those shouting that he supports a pathway to citizenship for children of people in the U.S. illegally, a group often called DREAMers. They take their name from the acronym for legislation that lays out a process to toward citizenship for immigrant children who were brought into the country illegally and grew up in the U.S.
But like other Republican presidential hopefuls, Bush wants to secure the border with Mexico before dealing with millions of people here illegally. Mary Moreno, communications director of the Texas Organizing Project, which planned Mondays protest, said her group wanted to call attention to the hostile atmosphere being created by the GOP field of presidential candidates.
The demonstrators held large signs, with one asking Who is the real Jeb Bush? Another read One of us? and was paired alongside one that read Or one of them? The latter featured a photo of Bush low-fiving Republican front-runner Donald Trump at last Wednesdays GOP debate . . .
And so it begins. A pox on the Republicans. If Bush - Married to a Mexican immigrant doesn't get a pass - no one should in that cesspool of ignorance and stupidity. Further down in the article:
In his speech, Bush said a great majority of Republicans believe in immigration reform and slammed Trumps immigration plan to build a border wall and deport those here illegally before allowing the good ones to legally return.
We dont need to build a wall. We dont need to deport everybody in this country (illegally), said Bush. Its not a practical conservative plan.
