Fellow Republicans and Illegal Immigration

illegal immigration: An early GOP establishment favourite, Bush has long urged his fellow Republicans to show more compassion for those who enter the country illegally. But when he described illegal immigration in an interview as an act of love by people hoping to provide for their families, the backlash from his own party was swift and stinging, according to The Star. Some of the partys most powerful insiders and financiers are concerned immigration could define the coming nominating contest in the way it did in 2012. Like Bush, Texas Gov. Rick Perry was jeered when he implied that his rivals were heartless if they opposed a law that lets some children of undocumented immigrants pay in-state tuition at public colleges and With three little words, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush set off a fury this week that served as a potent reminder of how difficult the immigration issue remains for his possible presidential ambitions and the Republican Party. Rep. Raul Labrador of Idaho, accused Bush of pandering. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas and House Speaker John Boehner said the country should enforce the rule of law. And conservative commentator Michelle Malkin created a new Twitter hashtag: #CancelJebBush. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
