Jeb Bush spoke about his book 'Immigration Wars' at the Reagan Library in Simi Valley, Calif., on March 8, 2013.
Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush has been on a media blitz lately, promoting a new book, Immigration Wars, that includes his ideas for comprehensive immigration reform.
In the book, he wrote that illegal immigrants should not qualify for citizenship, only permanent residency. That position -- as well as Bush's subsequent interviews where he seemed to back off the position -- drew a jab from Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Weston, the head of the Democratic National Committee.
"@JebBush a flip-flop-flip on immigration? Wow. I fashioned you more of a baseball player than a gymnast. My bad. #notsurprisedatall," Wasserman Schultz quipped in a tweet on March 5, 2013.
