Former House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) on Thursday said he's happy that Republican nominee Donald Trump may adopt immigration proposals similar to those of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush. "Pleased to see @realDonaldTrump embrace @JebBush's immigration plan," Cantor, who endorsed Bush before he dropped his presidential bid, tweeted Thursday. ".@JebBush's plan is the only serious, conservative set of solutions to secure our border and fix our broken immigration system." After Cantor endorsed Bush last year, Trump criticized the former House majority leader, asking who would want the endorsement of someone "who lost in perhaps the greatest upset in the history of Congress." Cantor has since said he'll be supporting the Republican nominee in the general election. But he's called both Trump and Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton "very imperfect" and said Trump has been "inconsistent in many of the things he has said." Trump's immigration plans have come under scrutiny over the past several days. During an event earlier this week, the business mogul indicated he may be open to some "softening" in the immigration laws. "There certainly can be a softening, because we're not looking to hurt people," Trump told Fox News host Sean Hannity during a town hall earlier this week. He has also raised the idea that people living in the country illegally would pay back taxes, "but we work with them." Questions were raised about Trump's stance on immigration after his campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, said last weekend it was "to be determined" whether it would include a deportation force to remove the 11 million people living illegally in the country.

Hillary doesn't like it, and wants to secure the border and deport illegal aliens. Leave it to Jeb! and Trump, to make Hillary look conservative.
