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.
Yep.
Machines pick cotton these days.
This man has lost his mind. Still trying to win over the Press no doubt. All the more reason to disqualify any Bush seeking higher office going forward. You can’t nor should you trust them.
They have cane harvesting machines now.
Cotton is no longer picked by hand in South Georgia and I’m sure its not in Texas as well. They have machines to pick cotton. Bush could have said apples, oranges and other fruits and been right but not cotton. He really and truly doesn’t know his A$$ from a hole in the ground and just needs to STFU !
The last time I criticized this guy, I almost got banned.
I aint sayin nothin.

I remember those times. I got in trouble for saying W and Cheney had the scoop on America hating, enemy Obama and did nothing.
I can’t believe I volunteered for his campaign and cried tears of joy when he was sworn in the first time. He sure had me fooled.
Your list and mine have two bad presidents in common: Wilson and Obama. My list also has LBJ and George W. Bush.
LBJ for his mishandling of Vietnam, and George W. Bush for his failure to stamp out radical Islam. While Vietnam was certainly a tragedy, W’s failure in regards to Islam will haunt the West for decades - and maybe centuries - to come.
As to number 5 on my list, I’m still trying to decide between Buchanan and FDR. Buchanan’s bumbling helped bring on the Civil War, but perhaps that was inevitable.
FDR expanded the socialist welfare state, but IMHO he was the right man at the right place during the early days of WW II.
Mandatory disclaimer: Your mileage may vary.
In 2000, we had good reason to think that former Governor of Texas George W Bush might well turn out to be a good President. I voted FOR him in that election. He turned out to be a disappointment. I voted AGAINST Kerry in 2004. His entire Presidency was a downhill slide, and he has been a worse ex-President.
Bush clan = 100% unadulterated open borders globalist bullshit!
GWB = America’s first mexican el presidente.
You vile snake! We are your countrymen, and you are supposed to defend *OUR* interests, not those of non-citizens.
I am becoming increasingly disgusted with the Bush family.
FUBUsh
Bush should spend more time at his family hunting camp, Niggerhead.
Even better.... Automated fruit picker.
Can people be hypnotized into saying things like this?
Just another Bush ignoramus:

Bingo! A lot of people would take on these seasonal jobs if it didn’t mean they’d lose state benefits they actually need. The welfare system is structured to keep people down ):
Guest worker fraud isn’t just for tech workers.
