Politics. On Point.

Eric Cantor endorsed Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush Thursday evening. Cantor tweeted earlier Thursday that he was "AllinforJeb." Cantor is the former Republican majority leader who lost to David Brat, a Virginia professor - and tea-party backer - in the 2014 Virginia House primaries. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump tweeted of the Cantor endorsement, "Who wants the endorsement of a guy (@EricCantor) who lost in perhaps the greatest upset in the history of Congress?” The two presidential candidates have sparred on the issue of immigration. Bush, who is married to a Mexican-American, used the term ' anchor babies ' when speaking about illegal immigrants giving birth in America so their children can become citizens.   He tried 'defending' himself by saying the term didn't apply to Mexicans, but rather Asians (another group who will probably not vote for him, further limiting his chances to become president of t...

Many of us are aware of the divisive rhetoric over the so-called issue of 'illegal' immigration and  immigration  reform.

Cantor tweeted, “In divided government, the only way forward is to sit down at the table. The House awaits the Senate". That's what the Republicans said.
