QOTD: Jeb!

"This guy is now the front-runner. He should be held to account just like me. He should be asked — as he was yesterday — how are you going to pay for it? Why do you think this is not going to be — prove to me that it's not impractical. Explain to me how you're going to stop all the remittances without violating peoples' civil liberty...
Go through these questions and what you'll find is that this guy doesn't have a plan. He's appealing to peoples' angst and their anger."
These are all good questions. And he does have a plan: tell the police to round up all the "illegals" and dump them in Mexico. Like Operation Wetback. And yes a bunch of Americans will get caught up in it but we'll deport first and sort out any paperwork problems later.
God knows Trump supporters don't want to hear about the civil liberties of Mexicans. And they sure don't agree with this:
"I want to solve problems so that we can fix this and turn immigration into what it's always been: An economic driver for our country."
In their minds immigration is a job stealing, culture destroying threat to all they hold dear. Hasn't he been listening?
