Former President George W. Bush is disturbed by the "rhetoric" in the current immigration debate.
Bush attended an event at the Clinton Presidential Center in Little Rock, Ark., on Thursday with former President Bill Clinton, CNN reported.
He said the current immigration debate undermines the goodness of America.
"I think it doesn't recognize the valuable contributions that immigrants make to our society," Bush said. "And it obscures the fact the rhetoric does that the system is broken and needs to be fixed." There has been a national debate over handling immigration after the Trump administration implemented what it calls a zero tolerance policy to prosecute all adult migrants who enter the country illegally.

I’m very impressed with all the retorts here.
FU, Coward GWB! FU and the people you support.
Terry Schiavo, GW, Terry Schiavo.
Bush had the money and mandate to build a wall and didn’t do it because he wanted amnesty. He should just shut up like he did for 8 years while Obama was wrecking the country.
Truth is, the RINO Republicans, who are for amnesty and open borders, are beholden to the chamber of commerce and big corporate interests. They want cheap labor.
The democRATS, who are for amnesty and open borders, are beholden to the likes of George Soros and the DNC and the democRAT voting machine. They want more voters.
President Trump, who is for secure borders and building the wall, is beholden to the American people. They want legal immigrants.
This little outburst by George Bush tells me, not something about Donald Trump's immigration rhetoric. It tells me about how badly I judged Bush when he was president.
Again, Trump's winning and his style of governing, has managed to almost single-handedly, bring into the sunlight and exposed the RINOs and Liberal Swamp creatures for who they really are.
No president has ever done that before. And for that we need to be thankful we have Trump in office.
He should have stopped at “disturbed.”
I’m disturbed by the fact that I voted for this $hitstain twice and his equally worthless New World Order father twice also. ‘eff that entire family.
It's about ILLEGAL immigrants, not immigration.
It's bad enough to have the MSM constantly repeating that lie, without a man I voted for president twice repeating it.
READ MY LIPS, NO NEW BUSHES!
ILLEGALS ARE NOT IMMIGRANTS.
IF YOU DON'T 'GET THAT' BUSH - THEN JOIN THE DEMOCRAT PARTY AND LEAVE US ALONE.
The Open Borders Bushes were mistakes carried into office solely by the coattails of Ronald Reagan.
George W. Bush: I am disturbed by the immigration rhetoric
Wonder if he is disturbed by the stupid wars he got us into?
Our Kennedy’s!
Here’s something disturbing for Georgie boy to ponder.
Take away all of his cash, possessions, and any “family” assistance. Arrange a middle class job for Georgie.
Have him work at his new job for a few months and maybe, just maybe, he’ll comprehend why others don’t agree with his stance.
Perhaps losing his new job to an illegal alien will open his eyes.
Amazed that George Bush Junior managed to take his lips off of a Saudi prince long enough to stammer and stutter something in favor of open borders.
Wish he would just go back to his drinking and finger painting.
Well GWB, I’m disturbed by ongoing attempts to use immigration, legal and illegal, to push rapid agenda-driven demographic shifts in the US. It’s an attack on the citizens and the Constitution you once pledged to serve.
Stuttering drunk George Junior responded to 9-11 by running and hiding.
Rudy Giuliani was acting President that day, while Junior flew around or hid in bunker.
When he emerged from hiding, Junior promptly started covering for the Saudis and stammering nonsense about “Islam is peace”.
Then he sacrificed a few thousand American lives to rid the Saudis of their enemy Saddam Hussein - a bad guy, but not involved in 9-11 (and it wasn’t worth one U.S. life to exchange him for an Iranian controlled regime).
Not just cheap labor. Think how much EBT gets spent at Walmart.
All you need to know about George W Bush is he as his father are globalists first and patriots second. He is a good man in spirit but very wrong in his ideology. His father lite the match of total Mid East war and instability, George W poured kerosene on the fire and Obama poured gasoline on the fire.
Today we live with the legacy of the idiocy of Jimmy Carter, George senior, George Junior and Obama.
The Mid East was controlled by despots but most were our despots, Iran excepted. Iran’s instability belongs to Jimmy Carter. Before, Carter Iran was our despot.
Nation building and democracy will never work in a Muslim Nation. It is best to have the despot of your choice! At one time we chose the despot but no longer.
Ive been eligible to vote since George HWs re-election. Donald Trump was the first candidate I actually wanted to vote for. This little creep set the stage for the gay Muslim Marxist. Stay out da Bushes evermore.
Me too. I am ashamed. I took blow hard Limbaugh at his word. He, Limbaugh assured me that Shrub was a conservative and that his Daddy was a decent man. Limbaugh I was done with you in 2005 and done with Shrub by 2006. I defended Shrub and Bush, and Limbaugh in the public square. I am a dope.
Pandering to illegals and Muslims has not worked out to well for 16 years of the Bush/Obama era.
Barf alert or something lol,ok.
