Former Florida governor Jeb Bush said Sunday that many who illegally come to the United States do so out of an "act of love" for their families and should be treated differently than people who illegally cross U.S. borders or overstay visas. This comment from Jeb Bush came on the 25th anniversary of George H. W. Bush library and museum. Jeb Bush went on to say that the Senate amnesty was a good effort at proposals that will catch people who are overstaying their visa stays. "A great country ought to know where those folks are and politely ask them to leave," he said, adding later that properly targeting people who overstay visas "would restore people's confidence" in the nation's immigration system."
