IIRC, during his Presidency George W. Bush was worse than a drooling idiot according to the MSM.
Why should we listen to anything he has to say now?
I guess the lefties were right all along. Bush is an idiot.
” Making a rare return to the political arena, former President George W. Bush urged Congress on Wednesday to reach a “positive resolution” on immigration reform, “
Bush only comes out for photo ops with his wife, and the Obamas. Oh, and amnesty.
What a POS.
Won’t defend himself, Don Rumsfeld or his own troops in Iraq, but will stick his head out of the prairie dog hole for THIS.
No thanks, George.
“I asked about the purpose of the government agency he heads, since I had never heard of such a thing. He said its purpose is to increase the flow of Mexican nationals to the United States. I asked, ‘Why?’
"’It serves Mexico's needs,’ he said, and ticked off a list of such things as remittances to Mexico of $10 billion a year, which is 30 percent of the Mexican GDP [gross domestic product]. It provides employment for an exploding population, it alleviates social instability due to rising unemployment and it provides training for Mexicans, ultimately repatriating those skills back to Mexico.
"I responded to his final aim - repatriation of trained and skilled Mexicans back into Mexico - and asked, ‘Then your government would oppose amnesty for the illegal Mexicans in the United States?’
"He cried, ‘Oh no! We support amnesty totally. . . . by populating the United States with millions of Hispanics who are tied economically, politically and linguistically to Mexico, we are able to exert enormous influence and pressure on U.S. policy and its dealings with Mexico.’
"President Vicente Fox believes the U.S. border is a figment of the imagination. In fact, Fox and/or members of his government stated at one point that the borders of Mexico extend much farther north than currently drawn on the map.”
This clown has stayed silent on all the Obama scandals and usurpations of power during the past 4 1/2 years. NOW, he chooses to speak out in the hopes of garnering a little praise from the organs who want to destroy America. And his stupid brother Jeb has agreed to give a FREEDOM award to the incompetent anti-Semitic fraud Hillary Rotten Clinton. Bob
Shut up, George. We know your brother married a Hispanic and you were raised by a Mexican maid, but the rest of us aren’t that crazy about the criminal immigrants who are costing Texas taxpayers millions.
He’s kept his mouth shut during the entire time this crew has been ruining this country, and now he decides to open his trap? He’d do better to keep it shut.
There are no benefits of immigration reform.
Only enforcing existing laws and sealing the border.
Just more evidence that the only intelligent Bush is Barbara Bush.
About the only issue that motivates W to get out and inject his opinions into the political process again. He and all the Bushes definitely seem obsessed with granting amnesty to illegal aliens and doing nothing to secure the border.
He had nothing to say about leaving Iraq, nothing to say about negotiating with the Taliban, but when it comes to amnesty for illegals...
I’ve thought since late in his first term that the only reason W was ever remotely acceptable to conservatives was 9/11 and all the unity and patriotism that followed for a couple of years. 9/11 gave him cover to be the RINO that he is while much of the nation was most focused on the threat of terrorism.
Without 9/11, the mask would have fallen away much sooner and he might have lost to Kerry.
And I’ve said before and I’ll say again: I wonder if he was even pro-life, or if that was simply the position Rove told him to take as a bone to the pro-life voters in the party.
Just as his approval ratings began to recover.
