...The latest Trump-Bush bout began in the most recent debate.
In the CNN Republican presidential debate, Trump blamed George W. Bush’s unsuccessful presidency for giving us President Obama, prompting an immediate response from Jeb Bush.
TRUMP: “Your brother – and your brother’s administration gave us Barack Obama, because it was such a disaster, those last three months, that Abraham Lincoln couldn’t have been elected.”
BUSH: “You know what? As it relates to my brother, there’s one thing I know for sure. He kept us safe. I don’t know if you remember…”
This exchange sparked a war of words between the two campaigns—culminating in Trump’s declaration that if he were president and were able to enact his immigration policies, 9/11 would not have happened under his watch.
...
However, a review Jeb Bush’s 2013 book Immigration Wars reveals that Jeb Bush himself agreed with Trump’s argument and admitted that our “leaky” immigration policy was responsible for the attack.
Bush wrote:
In addition to the Mexican drug cartels, the fact that several of the 9/11 terrorists entered the country lawfully under a leaky immigration has heightened national security concerns—so much so that immigration enforcement has been placed under the Department of Homeland Security.
Indeed, all of the the nineteen September 11th hijackers were voluntarily imported into the country on visas issued to them by our federal government. Almost all of the visas were issued in the predominantly Muslim country of Saudi Arabia. Four of the September 11th hijackers—Zacarias Moussaoui, Satam al Suqami, Nawaf al Hamzi, and Hani Hanjour—were visa overstays.
In a blockbuster 2002 report, National Review’s Joel Mowbray acquired the visa applications of 15 of the 19 hijackers

Ping to you. I don’t think this one is “satire”.
Now they are spinning this fable of Bush being in the same place as either McCain or Romney.
In 2008 and 2012 both McCain and Romney had solid support in the party in the 20-25% range and never went lower then 10%
Bush is toast. It only the GOPe who hasn’t figured it out yet.
Invenimus nulla feces domine Holmes.
A money quote: “Interestingly, even though George W. Bush remained in office for more than six years after the attack, millions of visa overstays were still not deported. In fact, the United States continues to churn out hundreds of thousands of visas to Muslim immigrants, some of whom have gone on to commit terror attacks in the United States.”
Point to Mr. Trump.
you know, a smart candidate could suscribe to FR and get all the opposition research he/she would need for free.
In addition, George W. wasn’t paying attention to Al Qaeda in 2001 because he was too busy trying to give blanket amnesty to illegal Mexicans in time for his September Amnesty Summit with Vicente Fox that happened 1 week before 9/11.
BUSH AIDES WEIGH LEGALIZING STATUS OF MEXICANS IN U.S. (July 15, 2001)

The Breibart article goes on that visas were granted on the most flimsy of requests like “hotel” listed as destination from one terrorist, and Bush let millions visa overstays even after the 9/11 attack and of course under Obama to this day.
Boston Marathon Bombers were brought here in 2002.
Ping.
I hope the Trump campaign gets this information. Someone needs to send it to them.
For each overstay reduce the entrance/student/work/ (whatever) visas by ten.

It's almost like Trump set Yeb up for the killshot.
Bump!
What really frosts me is that since W left, he refuses to say anything about how the troops are treated, but he’ll jump in front of the mike in a heartbeat to bring in more illegals and speak out for amnesty. Let’s face it, the whole Bush family hates most Americans
