I just pointed out that the GOP is the party of maximum deportations while the Dems are the part of minimum deportations.

No, this is not mitigated in any way with the candidacy of Jeb Bush. Even if he personally claims to desire a more rational and human immigration policy. It's true as I've noted in the past that in their heart of hearts, the Bushes do believe in such a policy. However, they always let their loyalty to their party which doesn't share their views undermine this and Jeb is clearly on the same path here.

It makes no sense to say you believe in immigration reform but then act like the most important question is the GOP procedural quibbles they have to make-as the truth is what they must avoid: they're just opposed to immigration reform, that as a party, no matter what Jeb or Boehner or Karl Rove, or the WSJ editorial page says, they are for maximum deportations.
"Jeb Bush is seizing on a federal judge's order halting President Barack Obama's executive actions to protect millions of immigrants from deportation, using it to test drive a message on the explosive issue ahead of an expected 2016 presidential bid."
"Last year, the president overstepped his executive authority and, in turn, hurt the effort toward a common sense immigration solution. That's not leadership. The millions of families affected across the country deserve better," Bush wrote in a Facebook posting on Tuesday.
"Now, more than ever, we need President Obama to work with Congress to secure the border and fix our broken immigration system," he added.
"Bush's statement raises more questions than it answers. What more do the "millions of families affected" by the actions "deserve" that Obama hasn't given them? A path to citizenship? And what sort of a "fix" to the "broken immigration system" does Bush support?
He didn't say, and his stance remains something of a mystery."

It's a mystery-and clear as mud.
Jeb seems to be in the same position on immigration in 2016 that Romney was in 2012 on healthcare. He has to claim to be fore immigration reform no less than Obama but somehow Obama does it the wrong way while he wants to do it the right way.
It's an incoherent position borne of the fact that while he does support IR he has to trick his party into believing his part he doesn't while hopefully nodding and winking to the mainstream. This didn't work for Mitt in 2012 and it won't work for him here as he looks like a phony, which is what he is.
If your goal is to minimize deportations-and make immigration more humane and rational; there are myriad economic benefits for IR as well-there is absolutely no reason to vote for Jeb.
P.S. Meanwhile his biggest liability may be his last name. His mother may have changed her royal mind and decided that we want more Bushes but I don't think the rest of the country is so sanguine. If you ever want proof that the GOP never learns anything, the name here says it all.
