Latina GOP Gubernatorial Hopeful Says Texas Should Take Lead On Immigration
Republicans face 2016 (EXTINCTION) turmoil
Of all those being talked about — or talking themselves up — there is only one who could enter the race and immediately be declared the man to beat.
Former Florida governor Jeb Bush has a stature that gives him the luxury of waiting, knowing that he could upend the contest the moment he took the plunge.

“I’m going to think about it later,” Bush said during a school tour Wednesday. “I’m deferring the decision to the right time, which is later this year, and the decision will be based on: Can I do it joyfully? Because I think we need to have candidates lift our spirits — it’s a pretty pessimistic country right now. And is it right for my family? So I don’t even want to think about that till it’s the right time, and that’s later on.”
A high profile can be a dangerous thing in the preseason, as Bush’s fellow Floridian Rubio can attest.
Barely a year ago, the cover of Time magazine hailed Rubio as “The Republican Savior.” But he flubbed his attempt at a star turn delivering the GOP response to the 2013 State of the Union address, and more significantly he enraged some conservatives in his party by lending his wattage to the Senate’s comprehensive immigration overhaul bill.

With illegal aliens rushing the border everyday and for the past 3 plus decades to have American born children (who become voters), what can they expect. Republicans have been foolish to not secure the borders for many reasons, including the self interests of protecting their political power. Republicans cannot "one up" Democrats on the freebies. Illegal aliens like the handouts and most of their children will continue the demands. They have been part of the protests and sit ins, etc. Total disrespect for this nation.
Democrats have mastered the pandering to special interests and identity politics. The more illegal aliens and children, the more eventual voters for them.
George P. Bush begins political career with win in Texas
Quote:
He's also a Spanish speaker whose mother Columba was born in Mexico and who Republican leaders statewide long have toasted as key to wooing voters among Texas' booming Hispanic population.
Tuesday's result was never in doubt. There was no incumbent running and Bush used his American political-royalty surname to raise more than $3.5 million while his opponent, East Texas businessman David Watts, could barely afford to travel the state.

Jeb Bush Praises Illegal Immigrants as 'Risk Takers,' Defends Common Core
Jeb Bush praised illegal immigrants as "risk takers" who embody the entrepreneurial spirit of America and doubled down on his defense of Common Core.
According to the Miami-Herald, Bush made his remarks in front of business leaders in Florida.
“People who come here legally and illegally are the risk takers,” Bush reportedly said. “If you’re living in a rural area of Guatemala and you come, you’re a bigger risk taker than those who stay,” he added.
Of course, the first action of those who come to the country illegally is breaking the law.
