Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) on Monday agreed with former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush that illegal immigration can be considered an “act of love.”.
Flake, in a Facebook post, praised Bush for speaking “so humanely and unapologetically about the motivations” of undocumented immigrants in a Fox News appearance that aired earlier this month.
“Truth is, I agree with Jeb, and I applaud him for having the guts to say it,” Flake wrote in the post on Monday. “Growing up here in Arizona, I’ve seen what motivates those who come here illegally. Sure, some come with the intent to do harm or simply to take advantage of our generosity. But many come to find work to feed their families. To lump everyone who crosses the border illegally into the same class is unfair and unproductive.”
Flake asserted his support for a more secure border and called for immigration reform that takes into account U.S. economic needs and a “rational” solution for those already here without documentation.
Wild Thing’s comment……….
RINO agreeing with another RINO…. I have had it with these weak assholes in our party and their not respecting our laws on immigration.
Why should we obey laws of any kind when our government does not. sheesh.
McCain and Flake? What the heck is wrong with Arizona to elect and reelect idiots like this?
The GOP/RNC is almost as much our enemy as the DNC is. These permanent senior Republican senators are almost as liberal as the Dem senators. Getting difficult to see a difference any more.
