Editorial: Should Americans celebrate Mexican Independence Day? Ask Jeb

Editorial

In the spirit of multiculturalism, should U.S. citizens celebrate Mexican Independence Day?


Consider Candidate Jeb Bush's take on this.

Jeb developed a romantic image of Hispanic culture in his youth. Jeb met Columba in 1971 when he was on a work study trip to Mexico, part of the Man and Society class he was taking at his elite Andover prep school.
As Politico put it in The Year that Changed Jeb Bush Forever, the experience is “How a radical class—part Lord of the Flies, part Peace Corps—introduced a preppy teenager to Mexico and the love of his life” [by Michael Kruse, May 21, 2015]. Jeb himself says of the stay: “My life really began in earnest when I was 17 years old in León, Mexico.” And Politico’s Kruse believes “[Bush’s] stubborn insistence on a doors-open immigration policy in a Republican Party that has moved away from it… can be traced back to León.”

Let’s look at some of Jeb’s peculiar and self-defeating stances.

• Puerto Rican statehood and Puerto Rican bankruptcy relief. How would this help the GOP? And it certainly hasn’t helped Jeb in the primary, but he doesn’t care.
• Jeb says he was “hurt” by Trump’s comments on immigration and says building a wall is impossible.
• And most critically, Jeb has openly come out in favor of a bilingual America.

Jeb Bush has a sentimental, romantic, and passionate attachment to Hispanic culture–and indifference (at best) towards the historic American nation.
Currently, Jeb is trying to say Trump isn’t a “true conservative” because he’s dug up old things The Donald has said and done. And Jeb might be right about some of them.
But with all Trump’s imperfections, he shows concern for working Americans. And he’s sounding better as he goes along–partially because Jeb is inspiring him to defend things like the use of English in America.
Tellingly, Jeb has not attacked Trump’s illogical and inexplicable proposal to bring the “good ones” back after deporting illegal aliens. (Let’s hope he forgets about it.) Any candidate could do it. But not Jeb, because that would be “insensitive” to Hispanic sensibilities.
So, instead, Jeb would rather lose than hurt Latino feelings. While Trump rhetorically positions himself as a defender of the American nation, Jeb welcomes the U.S. becoming a part of the Third World. He would rather go down defending “his” invading Hispanic community—which, remember, does yet not cast even ten percent of the vote in American elections.
