Jeb Bush acts like another Unprincipled Opportunist, made in the same "image and likeness" of Mitt Romney, champion of Hypocrisy, Lies and Flip-Flops. Another Wishy-Washy Chameleon Politician. Jeb Bush is making a shameful U-Turn in politics.

Jeb Bush: Endorsing Romney Is an Endorsement of His Cruel Immigration Policy

Jeb Bush: Endorsing Romney Is an Endorsement of His Cruel Immigration Policy
Some excerpts :
Former Governor Jeb Bush has claimed that his endorsement of Mitt Romney is not on any particular issue. Unfortunately for him, this endorsement cannot be seen in any other way but as an endorsement of Romney's cruel "self-deportation" immigration policy. For a while, Jeb Bush has been a prudent voice of common sense and compassion in the Republican party, which has since been highjacked by the extreme right-wing Tea Party. But with Jeb's endorsement of Romney, it appears that we have yet another Florida Republican who has chosen his party over common sense.
Mitt Romney has come out against supporting undocumented youth, promising to veto the DREAM Act if passed, while Jeb Bush has called the DREAM Act a "fair policy." Jeb Bush has consistently warned Republicans to tone down their harsh rhetoric on immigration amidst mud-slinging in the GOP debates. Yet he has given up the fight and decided to be swallowed into the same black hole as the presidential candidates and the rest of the Republican party.
And Romney's support for the ARMS Act should not be received with praise by Jeb Bush. The ARMS Act is a poor attempt to provide relief to undocumented youth. It simply says: you are not good enough to serve your country as a teacher, lawyer, engineer, entrepreneur or artist.
What's worse, the bill is full of provisions that have the potential to deport a veteran if he were to become injured in, say, an IED or car crash that wasn't his fault and became a public burden. This demonstrates a lack of understanding of the complexity of immigration policy by Rep. Rivera and Mitt Romney, or at least a lack of interest in those being most drastically affected.
