Amnesty=/=open borders.
Do you have a link to his 'open border policy' so we can answer properly?Do you agree with Jeb Bush's Open Border policy?
In his book, Immigration War, Forging an American Solution, Jeb Bush praised illegal immigration as good for the country and openly opposes any plans for increasing border security. He also praised President Obama's policy of open doors to illegal immigration of children. To the Wall Street Journal, he joined Obama in what he called "exercising compassion to children from Central America."
On another occasion he said that no children of illegal immigrants, even if not born here "should be denied USA citizenship." In short, any child who gets to the USA in any way should be granted US citizenship. And, then, it would be unethical to deport their parents either. So anyone can come to the USA. All they have to do is get here and no obstacles at the border preventing doing so.

Do you agree with Jeb Bush's Open Borders Policy as good for the country?
Definitely, but he goes beyond amnesty to also opposing increasing border security. There are people who agree with him on that. The question is do you?
To summarize what Jeb proposes in this book (which he does in chapter 1, entitled "A Proposal for Immigration Reform," and then details the policy and politics of that proposal for the rest of the book):
Fundamental Reform: Comprehensive interrelated approach because system as a whole is broken, and to achieve bipartisan consensus.
A Demand-Driven Immigration System: Replace overriding preference for family reunification with work-based immigration.
An Increased Role for the States: Share federal authority over immigration policy [such as] social services and providing benefits.
Dealing With Current Illegal Immigrants: We propose a path to permanent legal resident status for those who plead guilty to having entered our country illegally as adults and who have committed no additional crimes of significance.
Border Security: Broader immigration reform is an essential component of border security; we can't do one without the other.
Toward a More Vibrant Future: Getting immigration policy right will allow us to reclaim the prosperity that in recent years has eluded our grasp.
—Give state and local governments more authority to enforce immigration law: Bush wants any state or local government to have the leeway to enforce immigration law by checking the immigration status of those arrested for serious crimes. He also wants them to have the authority to police the border should they believe that federal resources devoted to border security are inadequate. Finally, he'd allow states to pass voter ID laws to ensure that non-citizens don't commit election fraud.
—More border security and military to the border: Bush would provide more border security through increasing real and virtual fencing, drones, and border agents. He'd extend Homeland Security's authority to the 50 national parks that are within 100 miles of the border. Finally, he'd authorize the president to deploy military and the National Guard to secure the border. (Obama sent 1,200 National Guard to the border in 2010.)
Do you have a link to his 'open border policy' so we can answer properly?
Sure. But you have to make it retroactive through infinite generations.only citizens that are born to two citizens should be allowed.
Citizens should also be allowed to bump any "immigrant" from a job if they want it.
Amnesty=/=open borders.
In this, Jeb Bush can be promoted anyway his campaign team such as Fiddlytree does finding any quote he wants to - noting that on another thread Fiddlytree raves of the Kennedys in office - not exactly Republican, is it? Certainly not conservative.
Definitely, but he goes beyond amnesty to also opposing increasing border security. There are people who agree with him on that. The question is do you?
De Facto it does.
I don't think securing the border anymore than what we already have is necessary. I agree with the statement you've provided, but I don't "agree" with Jeb on immigration, because he's been prone to flip-flopping on the issue.
Opposing further border security in addition to what we already have is still not supporting open borders.
I assume your response is going to contain something about how "amnesty sets a precedent, and rewards lawbreakers," or whatever, but please save it. An open borders policy is no restrictions on freedom of movement across a border. You and I both know that amnesty doesn't do this, so quit trying to stretch the definition.
Little old ladies can walk here, and there's no punishment for doing it, its defacto.
Sure. But you have to make it retroactive through infinite generations.
They lost. TO bad.
You could implement this rule and US citizens would take advantage of it precisely zero times.
