releases a book on immigration that he's co-authored where he writes, a grant of citizenship is an undeservingconduct that we cannot afford to encourage. he even told nbc's matt lauer yesterday morning much the same thing. so now he's against it. right? well, no. fast forward a few hours to his interview with my colleague chuck todd, and here is his response. >> i think a path to legal status where people can come out from the shadows is satisfactory in that regard. >> i'll say this for mitt romney, once he flipped, he tended not to flip back. joining us now is david corn, washington bureau sheaf for "mother jones" magazine and lili gil valletta, co-founder of xl alliance and a hispanic market expert. good afternoon to both of you. david, how bad was this rollout because lindsey graham, john mccain, and marco rubio have all chastised mr. bush. senate majority leader harry reid says jeb bush's position on immigration is not evolving, it's devolving. are republicans ready to be led by a man as unprincipled as mitt romney again? >> well, i guess the democrats can hope so. i think jeb bush looked

in the book, bush continues, he says "a grant of citizenship is an undeserving reward for conduct that we cannot afford to encourage. however, illegal immigrants who wish to become citizens should have the choice of returning to their native countries and applying through normal immigration processes that now would be much more open than before." this is a far cry from jeb bush's position on a path to citizenship as recently as a year ago. >> you have to deal with this issue. you can't ignore it. and so either a path to citizenship, which i would support, and that does put me probably out of the mainstream of most conservatives, or a path to legalization, a path to residency of some time. >> less than six months ago, reporters wrote headlines like this -- "jeb bush supports path to citizenship." today it's "jeb bush: path to citizenship not needed." this flip-flop may look strange to the american mainstream, but for jeb bush, i guess you would say it is necessary. it puts him further to the right on immigration from marco rubio, and it puts him at odds with texas governor rick perry wh

hard line, a grant of citizenship, and that's the important word, a grant of citizenship is an undeservingthat we cannot afford to encourage. you got some tough press treatment in all of this, this week. >> yeah. >> as you talked about your book, the "miami herald," jeb bush reverses stance on immigration. no citizenship for undocumented. jeb bush poorly timed flip-flop on immigration, must take the u-turn on pathway to citizenship. i reviewed some of the things you said before. why did you change your view on this? >> first of all, my view has been in order to get comprehensive reform we could take either path, either a path to citizenship or a path to legalization. the important point is that illegal immigrants should not get better benefits at a lower cost than people that have been waiting patiently. so assume we pass the law this year, and i hope that's the case. five years from now we should look back and there should be fewer people coming illegally because we have an open legal system. both of those paths could create that as long as you change the rest of the system as well. so wh

in the full benefits of american citizenship a grant of citizenship is an undeserving reward for god that that we cannot afford to encourage in other words in his book he comes out against what ronald reagan did and now on morning joe i think it was well here's here's here's the zone well maybe it was here's jeb bush changing his mind and deciding that he agrees with ronald reagan. going forward we broke this last year going forward if there is a difference if you can craft that into law where you can have a path to citizenship where there is an incentive for people to come illegally i'm for it i don't have a use fer it i mean this is this is is this the vince this is the mitt romney strategy is this not say one thing and then hey the winds change oh it's now i don't want to be made i think an argument made that his arguments are consistent he what he's suggesting in both in both cases is that no matter what the plan is there needn't be some sort of magnet that attracts more illegal immigrants prior to the door closed i did not hear him say one word about putting employers in jail th

"a grant of citizenship is an undeserving reward for conduct that we cannot afford to encourage." he took a different path on "meet the press" this morning. listen to this. >> if they can find a way to get to a path of citizenship over the long haul, then i would support that. >> all right. so that's a bit of a change from the governor's previous path to the support of citizenship. why take such a hard line in the book but when you talk on a sunday show, you soften your stance. what's the disconnect? >> the governor said he wrote the book before the election. that point they were hardening their position on immigration. so he's really muddied his message because of this book and because of his previously stated position. in the senate they've already essentially gotten behind these group of negotiators, behind the pathway to citizenship. really the fight in those talks of those eight senators is about the issue of lower skilled workers, about business and labor agreeing to a program, a visa program, that would attract foreign workers, lower skilled workers into the country, the pa

not to mention the undeserved celebrity and those are the ones that we see as a challenge.there is an important distinction that we have to make between this shedding light on the crime and spotlighting the criminal. for example, the shooting at virginia tech. i can understand that the tabloids had a field day with this kind of stuff. it is the motto of "the new york times" what it does is turn monsters into celebrities and they don't deserve this kind of and by the way there is a whole following in all sorts of pure finale a trying it on for the purpose of this, of course. as adults who look at this and say oh, they are monsters, how many 14 year olds say, goodness, we got even with all those bullies and jocks and the nasty teachers and they are famous for it and on the cover of time magazine. so i can do from the perspective of the teenagers, it's very different. so i think given all of the attention that we pay to the shooters and the psychological autopsies afterwards, in the aftermath of these cases survivors invariably question why certain warning signs were ignored.
