Former President George W. Bush told radio host Hugh Hewitt on April 22 that he is working with the Koch Network to help President Joe Biden pass an amnesty and cheap-labor bill through Congress.

“We’ve got a coalition of like-minded people working this issue,” Bush told Never Trump Hewitt Thursday.

Former President George W. Bush told radio host Hugh Hewitt on April 22 that he is working with the Koch Network to help President Joe Biden pass an amnesty and cheap-labor bill through Congress.

“We’ve got a coalition of like-minded people working this issue,” Bush told Never Trump Hewitt Thursday.

Bush, whose poll rating dipped to 33 percent in 2008 after pushing amnesties in 2006 and 2007, continued:

Many of them are involved on Capitol Hill. So the Bush Center is spearheading a reform movement. It’s quiet except for this book [of paintings], which makes it not quiet. … We’re talking to people about, you know, what needs to be done. I mean, the Koch Brothers, for example, I know that’s a word [Koch] that scares a lot of people on the left, but they’re very much in favor of a rational immigration policy. And they’re putting money behind it, and they’re pushing hard. … Now there hasn’t been interparty outreach, yet. But maybe it’s not quite ripe. My view is if the President is sincere about this, he ought to sit down with, you know, some rational Republicans. But … he’s got to finish his initial agenda, however. He’s got a lot on his plate right now. But eventually, I think there’s a deal to be done.

The Koch network includes a wide variety of Republican donors who would profit from any inflow of new workers, consumers, apartment renters, and home buyers. Many business groups are already working with Mark Zuckerberg’s FWD.us group of investors to organize Democrats behind a bill that would import more labor, consumers, and renters.

Bush did not name any of the “rational Republicans” who might join his immigration push. However, a group of GOP senators met this week with the Democrats’ top amnesty advocate, Dick Durbin (R-Il). The GOP members were Sens. John Cornyn (R-TX), Susan Collins (R-ME), Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), and Mike Rounds (R-SD):

Cornyn and Graham, ugh! I didn’t see Rubio.

GW Bush is such a mouse most of the time as we've learned over his Second term and there afterwards.
He is beyond disappointing! He's such a turncoat or always was!
