Former President George W. Bush said Monday that the U.S. should not shy away from enforcing its borders but he also called on Congress to set aside political acrimony and approve a broad legalization for illegal immigrants.
Mr. Bush, who himself led a massive round of wall-building beginning in 2006, did not specifically praise or attack President Trump, who is now engaged in another wall fight.
But the former president did say Congress should again attempt to tackle comprehensive immigration reform. Thats the name backers use for bills offering amnesty from deportation to millions of illegal immigrants.
Mr. Bush attempted to strike agreement on such a bill in 2006 and again in 2007, but failed both times, with his own party rebelling against him over border security, and some Democrats balking because they felt his plans would undermine American workers.
He spoke at a naturalization ceremony for new citizens, hosted at the Bush Presidential Center in Dallas.

Thanks for the link.
Death to globalism.
Don’t blame me, I voted for Alan Keyes in the 2000 GOP primaries.
He couldnt get Bin Laden. Instead he fought his daddys demons and left it to the Kenyan to get er done.
So very sorry I EVER supported ANY Bush as not one is an America first Conservative.
His compassionate conservatism is a croc of BS.
Posers all these Bush clowns are.
Hey Bush’s, F-you all.
don’’t have to defend W anymore. He is a moron, always has been.
As I’ve said about a million or times on FR, I wish Barbara Bush had raised her own kids.
I hope he dies. Murderer of our troops. How does he sleep on night.
Go back to sleep, George.
We know the Bush stance. We do not know Jared and Ivanka’s stance. Please tell us and do it with facts backing what you say.
thanks
lambaste is the preferred spelling in American and Canadian English, while lambast is preferred in varieties of English from outside North America.
Shut up and sit down gwb.
Im so ashamed of how vociferously I supported this man.

Ex-presidents who did not fix the illegal alien problem should not give advice to the current president.
Maybe we should have elected Al Gore in 2000.
At least the republicans would have opposed some of his crazy ideas.
FOAD, monkey.
What a portrait in courage! /S
G.W could have been one of the greatest Presidents there ever was.
By looking at its remarks, it is clear that Rintintin is a Concern Troll.
