There are means by which we can control our border better than we have. And there should be penalties for breaking the law. But the way I look at this -- and Im going to say this and it will be on tape, and so be it. The way I look at this is someone who comes to our country because they couldnt come legally, they come to our country because their familys dad who loves their children was worried that their children didnt have food on the table, and they wanted to make sure their family was intact. And they crossed the border because they had no other means to work to be able to provide for their family. Yes, they broke the law, but its not a felony. Its kind of -- its a -- its an act of love. Its an act of commitment to your family. I honestly think thats a different kind of crime that should be, there should be a price paid, but it shouldnt be -- it shouldnt rile people up that people are actually coming to this country to provide for their families. And the idea that were not going to fix this but with with comprehensive reform ends up trapping these people, when they could make a great contribution for their own their families but also for us. So I think we need to get beyond the harsh political rhetoric to a better place. The great number of people who come to this country come because they have no opportunities in other places. They may love their country, but they come here because they want to provide for their families. And they can make a contribution to our country if we actually organized ourselves in a better way.--Jeb Bush, former governor of #Florida and current front-runner for the GOP nomination in 2016, speaking to Fox News, April 6, 2014
