On Tuesday presidential candidate Jeb Bush spoke about the first meeting between himself and his future foreign bride, Columba. " It

was love at first sight. I spoke little Spanish and she spoke little English, but when you are in love you can overcome those barriers pretty

quick. There's another language that matters the most."

John Ellis "Jeb" Bush is an American businessman and politician who served as the 43rd Governor of Florida from Protected content 2007. He is the

second son of former President George H. W. Bush and former First Lady Barbara Bush, and the younger brother of former President

George W. Bush.

Bush met his wife while in Leon, Mexico helping to build homes. León is a city in the Mexican state of Guanajuato. They married a few

years later in Austin, Texas, and now live in Coral Gables, Florida.

Is there a difference between Jeb Bush's Foreign Bride and so called Mail Order Brides? Feminists and women rights groups have argued

for years that men who travel across boarders for love take advantage of women that come from lower economic regions. In Protected content

Tahirih Justice Center and Senator Cantwell pushed legislation regulating foreign brides, stating that men take unfair advantage of women

in foreign counties. The law (IMBRA ) requires marriage brokers to run background checks on all men that seek a foreign bride. Bush's

wife was underage at the time they met and came from one of the poorest areas of central America. Did Jeb Bush then take advantage of

his future wife Columba? After all she came from poverty and Jeb Bush came from a powerful, wealthy family.

Kenneth Agee, Marketing Director of A Foreign Affair, a company that specializes in foreign bride match-making says, "Absolutely not! In

our society and most societies women are always looking to find a better way of life. It is instinctual for females to find the best possible

suitor for having a family, just like it is instinctual for men to be attracted to certain physical aspects of women. How would marrying into

wealth make you a victim? The notion that men have economic control of women, at best, would not last long after marriage. It is equally

invalid to say women have a control over men because of their beauty. The truth is, a negative situation can happen no matter where you

meet and has more to do with character than economics or location. Personally, my wife is from Russia, is very strong-willed, and would

never let herself become a victim. I find this to be true of most foreign women. I'm sure Jeb Bush would agree. Contrary to the opinion of

Terra Justice Center, an INS study showed there were fewer issues with cross-border marriages than domestic marriages. In fact they

have a much higher success rate"

And Jeb Bush is not the only candidate with a foreign-born wife. Candidate Donald Trump is also currently married to Melania Trump, a

former model from Slovenia. Donald Trump's first wife, Ivana, is from the Czech Republic.

Marrying foreign women is becoming a trend for the elite. FOX News CEO Rupert Murdoch is married to Wendi Deng Murdoch from Jinan,

China, with a 38 year age difference.

Yet feminists continue to argue that men seek foreign brides only because they lack the necessary social skills to find someone in the

US. This is clearly not the case, as these successful men do not lack socials skills.

Society has changed greatly over the years and love has no borders. Looking worldwide for love is becoming the norm now. Each week

companies like A Foreign Affair take dozens of men to countries all over the world where they attend social events, meeting hundreds of

beautiful women and models, who like themselves are serious about finding true love and marriage. These men are from many varied

walks of life: doctors, CEOs, policemen, businessmen, you name it. You don't have to be a Bush or Trump to see the advantage of

looking abroad for real love.

With two candidates, Jed Bush and Donald Trump, both married to foreign brides, we could see our first foreign-born First Lady in the

White House.
