The Senate Democrats’ leading advocate for amnesty and immigration, Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL), is endorsing the pro-amnesty push underway by former President George W. Bush.
“Bless you, George W. Bush, for saying what you did,” said Durbin, who has a long history of supporting migration into the United States, regardless of the damage done to Americans’ wages, housing costs, and civic stability.
In an April 22 interview with Punchbowl News, Durbin said the GOP should adopt Bush’s pro-migration policies:
Will it have an impact on Republicans? I think it must. I believe that many of them want to move beyond the Trump era into a new rebirth of this Republican Party, and I hope that they’ll look back to George W. Bush and some of his values that were expressed in this article is an indication of a good path for both of us.
Durbin’s mention of an article by Bush refers to the former president’s April 16 op-ed published by the Washington Post. The op-ed is titled, “Immigration is a defining asset of the United States. Here’s how to restore confidence in our system.”
Unsurprisingly, Bush’s migration record has been a political disaster for himself and the GOP.
For example, Bush pushed Congress to create an “Any Willing Worker” program in 2004.
The program would have given shares of Americans’ citizenship to foreigners if they agreed to undercut Americans in the job market by taking jobs where employers offered extremely low wages.
Bush has long favored laws that allow employers to replace Americans with migrants.

And then Durbin compared him to Hitler.
The Bush family came down from the Northeast, dragging their RINO politics with them.
They are NOT TEXANS!
That was last week.
Why do the Democrats ally themselves with racists and Hitler-type people?
I still always chuckle when I read this.

He’s not a dick for nothing.
The Bush Plan for North Mexico (aka USA) is almost completed.
Key word-——dick. Uh, duhurban of course.
It’s Free Republic circa 2002-2007
It will be tough for the Assistant Democrats when the 25 percent of the TOTAL vote that is conservatives stop voting for Uniparty "Republicans"...
It reminds me how the Bush administration went after Border Guards who did they job.
Dick turban has come a long way
bush=loser tribe
That was back when they had to keep up appearances. No need for that anymore.
A Dick praising another one.
How heartwarming.
Why aren’t there any DINOs?
Back in the early-mid aughts Bush could’ve governed like Biden is doing now and he’d still have been praised by at least half of FR.
I heard Bush Voted for Xiden. If true, I’m not surprised.
