Speaking with conservative talk show host Janet Mefferd yesterday, former congressman Allen West said he may consider joining a third party over the issue of immigration reform.
After Mefferd asked West whether he would consider joining a third party, the one-term Florida congressman lashed out at his home states former governor Jeb Bush for stating in an interview that immigrants who entered the country illegally did so as an act of love for their families.
I believe that when we get to the point when the parties have failed the American people, absolutely, West said. The American people are getting fed up with what they see and what they hear each and every day. Case in point, look at our former governor of Florida down here, Jeb Bush who just came out and said illegal immigration is an act of love. An act of love is to take care of the American people who are suffering high unemployment, their wages are being depressed; they dont need to be told, Hey you need to step out of line and were going to fast-track these people.
