Jeb Bush Defends Comprehensive Immigration Reform

The Latin America Herald Tribune reports:

Republican presidential hopeful Jeb Bush on Monday praised the contribution of Hispanics to the U.S. economy and set himself apart from his GOP rivals by coming out in favor of immigration reform that includes a path to citizenship.

“Here’s what I believe. I believe we need immigration reform. I’ve been clear about this. I believe that DREAM Act kids should have a path to citizenship,” the former Florida governor told pro-immigration reform protesters who interrupted him during his address before the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce conference in Houston.

“I’ll continue to be consistently for it irrespective of what the political ramifications of that are,” Bush said.

“Dreamers” are those young people who were brought to the United States illegally by their parents at an early age and lack documents to normalize their immigration status.
