Your Opinion: Jeb Bush's costly "act of love'

Dear Editor:

Jeb Bush quoted in reference to illegal immigration: "Yes, they broke the law, but it's not a felony. It's an act of love. It's an act of commitment to your family." I wonder if Bush would feel the same way if someone would steal his car or sell his kids dope just because their family needs the money. Think about it. Jeb Bush has learned from the master (Barack Obama); promise them anything and you have their vote.

Does Jeb Bush know or care how much it is costing us taxpayers for this "act of love?" This act of love has gone on essentially unchecked for 30 years. I would bet the cost of this ongoing "act of love" in lost tax revenue by U.S. citizen workers plus the cost of public services which is growing in leaps and bounds would be staggering. We taxpayers are now being taken for granted and actually have become second-class citizens in the eyes of politicians vying for the Latino vote.

How many of you parents would let your teenager drive without a license? Wouldn't it be an "act of love" to not have them go through the long, drawn-out process of a learner's permit and a test which they are always so concerned about passing? Or how about the person who cannot pass the eye test but needs the license to drive to their job to support their family? I don't know about you, but I don't think either should have a license to assure my safety as an American citizen. Isn't the reason we have protected borders and a process for citizenship the same; to guarantee our protection and rights first as taxpaying American citizens?

By the way, a side-note with regard to the debt us Americans are now on the hook for: "American workers would have to cough up a one-time "debt reduction fee' of $106,000 to pay off the nation's debt that has grown 58 percent under President Obama , according to Harvard University's Institute of Politics annual report on the USA." (http://washingtonexaminer.com/harvard-us-debt-bill-is-more-than-106000-per-worker-77-surge-in-food-stamp-use/article/2547035 )

How much more in debt will we taxpayers be due to our "acts of love" with a Jeb Bush or Hillary Clinton presidency after 2016? The good news is; it couldn't possibly be worse than it is under Barack Obama!
