Could Jeb Bush convince conservatives on immigration?



In this blog by BBC news is about Jeb Bush trying to tell conservatives why his views on immigration are good for America. He is trying to show that the economy needs more immigration. He will show evidence that businesses would be profited by this. His position is that immigrants should be allowed int he country which is a policy that conservatives don't agree with.

My position on the issue is that immigrants should be allowed into the country but the naturalization process does need potential revision. At the moment it seems to be very easy for immigrants from all countries to get into America. Recently President Obama granted amnesty to a very large amount of illegal immigrants which I don't think is the solution. It is not fair because other immigrants went through he process which is very time consuming, and this shows that immigrating to America illegally is OK.

This relates to AP Gov because it shows how the views of political parties differ and how they interact with each other. It also shows how people that run for president go about with their campaign. These speeches that he has made show how he will interact with his audience and therefore will either help or hurt him based on how well he does.

  1. I completely agree with you Jack. As my dad stated in the car today, his great grandparents had to come here and work to be legal, and that's how it should be.

  2. I agree with you Jack. Immigration is a good thing, but the people who want to come into the country need to work for it, and not have it handed to them on a silver platter.
