Former Gov. Jeb Bush Encourages GOP To Embrace Broader Approach Toward Immigration

Former Governor Jeb Bush (R-Florida) questioned the Republican Party's immigration policies at a breakfast with the press hosted by Bloomberg View in Manhattan on Monday. Gov. Bush said that his father, President George H.W. Bush and President Ronald Reagan would have "struggle[d] with 'an orthodoxy that doesn't allow for disagreement,'" according to an article in The New York Times.

The report said that the Bush family "for all their differences, believe the system should be more humane for hardworking and law-abiding Hispanic families," and that the Republican Party today needs to ramp up efforts to connect with the community. Gov. Bush expressed his support for a broader approach to immigration reform compared to Governor Mitt Romney who "referred to the tough immigration law in Arizona as 'a model.'"
