U.S. Sen. Rand Paul chided Jeb Bush over recent comments he made supporting immigration reform, Fox News Latino reported.

While speaking in New Hampshire on Thursday, Paul said he did not agree with Bush's assertion that illegally immigrating to the U.S. is "an act of love."

While he added illegal immigrants "are not bad people," he claimed the U.S. "can't invite the whole world" to live there. The Kentucky senator also suggested Bush should have focused on controlling the borders.

Earlier this month, Bush took a stand against the GOP's harsh criticism of illegal immigration.

"The way I look at this is someone who comes to our country because they couldn't come legally ... and they crossed the border because they had no other means to work, to be able to provide for their family, yes, they broke the law, but it's not a felony."

"It's an act of love, it's an act of commitment to your family," Bush said at an event in Texas.

Paul's rebuttal was aired on ABC's "This Week" on Sunday. In addition to his ideas about immigration policies, the potential 2016 candidate stressed the GOP cannot be "the party of fat cats, rich guys, and Wall Street."

This is not the first time Paul has openly spoken about changing Republican stereotypes. In March, he spoke to a group of conservatives in Washington about expanding Latino outreach.

"The bottom line is that the Hispanic community ... is not going to hear us until we get beyond that issue," Paul said, referring to immigration. "They're not going to care whether we go to the same church or have the same values or believe in the same kind of future of the country until we get beyond that. ... We've got to get beyond deportation to get to the rest of the issues."

"I've been saying over and over that the Republican Party cannot win until it's more diverse, until it looks like the rest of America," he said.
