Not that long ago Bush said that he would rescind the President’s executive amnesty program. But speaking to a different media he pretty claimed the opposite. So confusing, languages are!
This week Bush met with Telemundo TV and interviewed for the Spanish speaking media He offered a somewhat clearer explanation. Hot Air notes–
In an interview with Telemundo, Bush sat for roughly 25 minutes answering questions from anchor Jose Diaz-Balart, who also hosts a daytime program on MSNBC. The exchange began by reminding viewers that Bush’s wife, Columba, is from Mexico, and that his children are bilingual and bicultural.
Speaking in Spanish, Bush said: “We are very Hispanic, in that we speak Spanish in the house. Columba is a good Mexican, proud of her citizenship of this country, of course, but we eat Mexican food in the home. My children are Hispanic in many aspects. We don’t talk about it, but the Hispanic influence is an important part of my life.”

Not that long ago this really might have been a very effective strategy. The English speaking world primarily ignored what went on at the Spanish media. That was then of course, and this is now. Surprise! Everyone is viewing everything! Language barriers don’t hold up any more. We know what you say in any language. And in every language is says “Foul.” Bush even vowed to enact this comprehensive immigration reform during his first term as president.
So there it is. Jeb offers “comprehensive immigration reform” on video in Spanish. Bush’s true colors shine through.
