Okay, wow.
Jeb Bush just put BOTH feet in his mouth. The Left one, and the Right one.
Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R), a longtime immigration reform advocate, said Friday that because immigrants are "more fertile" they are a crucial source of labor for the United States.
"Immigrants create far more businesses than native-born Americans,” Bush said at a Faith and Freedom Coalition conference, as quoted by the Washington Post. “Immigrants are more fertile, and they love families, and they have more intact families, and they bring a younger population. Immigrants create an engine of economic prosperity.”

I'm starting to think Barbara's fetus in the pickle jar was the smartest Bush kid.

Wow. Jeb actually managed to find a phrase that will piss off both sides equally. The left is gonna find it flatly offensive that he's essentially comparing immigrants to hamsters. And the right is going to be scared shitless that the people they're scared of are literally multiplying. Bravo!
And I thought the 2016 GOP primary battle was going to be boring.
