Former President George W. Bush was supportive of the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program Thursday, as he told an audience at a summit in Abu Dhabi that the U.S. needs to welcome them.
Beyond that, he said at the summit hosted by the Milken Institute, a California-based economic think tank, that Americans should be thanking the illegal immigrants for doing jobs they refuse to do.
"Americans dont want to pick cotton at 105 degrees, but there are people who want put food on their familys tables and are willing to do that, he said, according to The Associated Press. "We ought to say thank you and welcome them.
Bush, who was critical of President Trumps approach to DACA, said Americas their home, referring to the programs recipients.
Trump announced in September he was ending the program with a six-month delay to allow Congress to come up with a permanent fix. That deadline of March 5 is rapidly approaching, he continues to warn lawmakers.
Bush acknowledged the U.S. immigration system is broken and explained that he tried [to fix it], but unsuccessfully.
It is important for our economy and also important for our soul that the immigration system functions well, he said.
Speaking of the U.S.s relationship with Mexico, he said its vital for our economy and for our stability. Weve got to enforce our borders and weve got to enforce our laws.
NWO, RINO, CoC-kissing, cheap labor express, unAmerican, family bejeweled, fake-faced, enemy of me mofo, he is.
GTHGWB!
Someone ought to get word to this moronic and quite tired presentation with all of its assumptions:
PEOPLE, human individuals— have NOT picked cotton by hand since at least the time period of 1948 to 1960!! That is-— Georgie old buddy old pal... before LBJ (your “role model” George, texas republicrat?). International Harvester released perfected their cotton harvester during that time.
Between 1948 and the late 1960s, mechanical harvesting of cotton crop went from zero to 96 percent of the crop. The machines reduced the man-hours required to produce a cotton crop from 125 hours per acre to 25. It’s estimated that each two-row cotton combine replaced about 80 share croppers and farm workers. In a sense, the cotton combine completed the exodus of blacks from the rural South to the urban North.
IOW-— What in the HELL is GWB talking about?
The Cheap Labor Express... that’s what he is. Mr. Amnesty. So just where would these “illegals” be employed. It sure wouldn’t be picking cotton, and only marginally vegetable crops (like cauliflower/broccoli, who walk with the packager/harvester machines in the field).
You forgot Billy Jeff! I would definitely put him before Teddy and Grant.
Without 9-11 occurring, provided by his pals in talaweed saudiland.... GWB would have been a one termer, just like his daddy. Such a tiresome grovelling lot, who are, it has been noted quite close with the clinton crime family. Their interests met long ago at a cia airport operation in Mena, Arkansas.
That would be the criminal Michael Milken’s junk bond pirate’s personal charity/tax dodge. Picking cotton? who the hell wrote this alchie’s speech.
Agreed. Bush is such a disappointment.
Bush to Americans on Illegal Immigrants: You Should Be Thanking and Welcoming Them
Bush has been insistent about turning this country into a balkanized country and has been since day one.
If it were up to him he would have open borders.
Just proves what these elitists believe.
Because, quote: “they are so wonderfully fertile”.... a slave breeder’s concept (just saying, it was said long ago about blacks). Trump’s black supporters have understood that illegal labor cuts out poor black jobs. These “menial” jobs are battled over between latinos and blacks in places like Miami.
OK, Jorge, we know your SIL is meh-hee-can, you can shut up now.
GWB is exposing who he really is and just confirms what we think about him.
It sure sounds that way.
Can you imagine asking a Black to pick cotton? Youd be lynched!
Tone deaf and disconnected from reality do not begin to describe those comments
I’m literally speechless
I like GW but his elite vision of America we will bequeath to our children and grandchildren is totally at odds with my vision, that’s for sure
Especially not in Florida, where he left his “mentee” the pole smoking queer, charlie crist (the demorepublicrat environmental whacko, who even changed the State’s song... from Suwannee River/Old Folks at Home). They suffered under old crist and his joining ambulance chaser and obamaumao lover john morgan (and there is the famous gay-kissup with obamaumao photo with crist).
And now, this fruit is a congressman from Pinellas county— the hq of Scientology. Can’t make this up.
The unifying “funder” of all this uniparty crapola? the jimmy margaritaville cocaine express and real estate money laundering operation.
all the bushes are full of bull Schiff.
The liberals and RINO elites are the true racists in this country. They claim it’s the opposite but they are using illegals for their own benefit.
Mr. Bush would be well advised to remember that it was REAL Americans (Voters and Taxpayers) who have provided him and his family a livelihood and security for most of their lives.
Frankly, I don’t see where he owes any “thanks” or loyalty to anybody other than Americans.
And when one of those drunk driving illegals kills a member of YOUR family, dumbass W, see if I give a flying crap.
well, yeah— especially to the extent that certain elements of the same deep state.... need the untraceable cash that the cocaine trade produces. Been this way since way before WWI. You don’t get good street level human intelligence without hanging with the criminal class.
Problem is... the leadership of the fbi counterintel (to say nothing of the “counterintel” element and intel element of the cia) is corrupted by this group think into supporting the leftist agenda brought upon them by these means. Talk to to a high level ex-DEA person about this- they could and have written books about this.
The deep state the permanent admin state— all paid and influenced by the cocaine politics of the turd world. But we got rid of “sniff” dopey Talaweed, and his finance from Saud. More to come.
