DENVER—Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush says Arizona’s immigration laws is the wrong approach to dealing with a porous border.
Bush told the National League of Cities convention on Saturday that his children might draw suspicion from police. His wife, Columba, is from Mexico.
Bush made his remarks as lawmakers consider proposing Arizona-type immigration laws that include granting police the authority to question the immigration status of those they suspect are in the country illegally.
That portion of Arizona’s law has been blocked by a judge. Arizona is appealing.
Bush recommends tightening security along the border and programs to integrate immigrants into American society.
