Report: Jeb Bush Dines with Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg

Former Florida Governor Jeb
Bush reportedly had dinner with Facebook COO Sheryl
Sandberg this week, as he thinks about potentially
running for president in 2016.
Sandberg, who grew up in South Florida, invited Bush to a
reception for women leaders, according to the Tampa Bay
Times. A Bush spokesperson told the outlet that he was
"honored and delighted to accept Sheryl Sandberg's gracious invitation to
meet with top tech and business leaders in Silicon Valley."
Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg has poured millions of
dollars into the push for amnesty legislation and an increase in the number of
high-tech visas. Bush has been one of the most prominent supporters, even
though a strong majority of
Americans believe American workers should be preferred over
foreign workers. In addition, numerous scholars and studies, in addition to
Census figures on STEM employment, have thoroughly debunked the notion
that there is a shortage of American high-tech workers.
But Bush, who has also said that illegal immigration was "an act of
love," has continued to advocate for increasing the number of guest-worker
visas for foreign workers, saying there needed to be a "robust"
system at an elite "Davos in the
Desert" conference in Arizona earlier in the year.
