True We have an Immigration Problem...our Borders need to be more Secure and our Education System is Failing...High School Seniors are behind the Curve...even here in Texas. Hell Our Own ISD is more involved in taking the Band to England...then making sure they can Balance a Check Book. FACT!!! bc Bush has advocated for pathways to citizenship and residency for illegal immigrants, enhanced border security and immigrant tracking technology and an emphasis on admitting immigrants based on the nation’s needs, not family relationships with current U.S. citizens. Bush said immigrants capture the entrepreneurial spirit of America. “People who come here legally and illegally are the risk takers,” Bush said. “If you’re living in a rural area of Guatemala and you come, you’re a bigger risk taker than those who stay.” Aside from immigration, Bush’s advocacy for Common Core State Standards has earned him enmity on the right. Bush has repeatedly explained the standards, implemented and controlled by the states, are designed to make the United States more competitive with the rest of the world. He said those who oppose the education standards support the “status quo,” oppose testing and are worried too much about children’s self-esteem. “Let me tell you something. In Asia today, they don’t care about children’s self esteem. They care about math, whether they can read — in English — whether they understand why science is important, whether they have the grit and determination to be successful,” Bush said. “You tell me which society is going to be the winner in this 21st Century: The one that worries about how they feel, or the one that worries about making sure the next generation has the capacity to eat everybody’s lunch?” Bush touted Florida’s educational improvement as a model for the nation. In a comment that could equally apply to his position on education as it could to a candidate for president, Bush said more needs to be done. “The minute you kind of pull back and say ‘We can rest on our laurels’ is the first day of your decline,” he said.
