Jeb Bush: "Immigrants are more fertile, and they love families."

ASHINGTON (AP) — Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush says the future of the American economy depends on immigrants.

Speaking Friday to religious conservatives, Bush said that immigrants are particularly important to help create more taxpayers to fund the safety net for the large, retiring baby boomer generation.

"Immigrants create far more businesses than native-born Americans over the last 20 years," he said, adding that immigrants also have more "intact families."

"Immigrants are more fertile, and they love families," he said.

"... Bush said that immigrants are particularly important to help create more taxpayers to fund the safety net for the large, retiring baby boomer generation. "

Translation: Bush is a puppet of the Cheap Labor Lobby (such as the US Chamber of Commerce).
