The former Governor of Florida Jeb Bush commented currently that the 11 million illegal immigrants in the country of America should be allowed to stay, sparking up yet another debate that his party is so painstakingly trying to control.

As the former Governor moves towards his Presidential campaign he is being seen as a person backing the illegal immigrants and an advocate of a policy that would allow illegal immigrants to get legal status under specific conditions.

Jeb Bush stated that “We are a nation of immigrants, and this is not the time to abandon something that makes us special and unique.” He also said that a positive move towards immigration reform is not just simply protecting the borders and strengthening them, but giving an opportunity to 11 million people who should be able to overcome all obstacles and begin to receive lawful status. He stated that such people should be asked to pay taxes and work legally.

Jeb Bush is trying to reach out to the Hispanic population; he was campaigning in the country of Puerto Rico, a U S area that holds a primary presidential contest, yet it is not included in the Electoral that play a part in the elections.

Jeb Bush spoke in both English and Spanish effortlessly, hoping to showcase his deep personal connections with Hispanic culture. Bush’s parents George Bush, former President and Barbara Bush too were present at the speech.
