Former President George W. Bush’s public policy organization states that amnesty for illegal aliens is “essential” to securing the United States-Mexico border as illegal immigration continues to soar under President Joe Biden’s administration.
In an op-ed for the Dallas Morning News, the George W. Bush Center’s Natalie Gonnella-Platts and Jenny Villatoro write that a massive amnesty for most of the nation’s 11-to-22 million illegal aliens is necessary as part of a broader border security initiative.
The op-ed is part of a larger amnesty coalition where Bush has lobbied Republican lawmakers for months to craft an amnesty for illegal aliens with the Biden administration — including increases to legal immigration levels beyond their already historically high rates.
The lobbying has been in coalition with corporate interests such as the Koch-funded Americans for Prosperity, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the Business Roundtable, the Bloomberg-funded New American Economy, the Texas Association of Business, and taxpayer-funded refugee contractors.
Bush’s plan is merely a revitalization of his highly unpopular “Any Willing Worker” policy from the early 2000s, where his administration sought to open the nation’s borders to millions of illegal aliens willing to take low-wage jobs from Americans while increasing legal immigration to drive down U.S. wages in the labor market.
The amnesty coalition is hugely opposed by Republican voters, polling has shown.

I’m sure he has several hundred acres at his ranch. He can house them there.
And, when that runs out it is essential that we keep confiscating the wealth of all those who promote open borders and amnesty and keep giving it to those who would otherwise come North.
Didn’t we already try that and fail? Why yes, yes we did.
I hope that SOME Texans are maybe a dozen and NO MORE!! Stay out of the Bushes!!!
How about a nice cup of STFU, Jorge Arbusto?
The (Uni)Party Platform: “War is Peace; Freedom is Slavery; Ignorance is Strength.”
Corollary: “Open Borders are Secure.”
Securing the border and deporting illegal aliens is what is needed.
Not yet another amnesty that will never be accompanied by securing the border!
It is not too much to demand that people have to ask our permission to enter the country!
message to open borders’ MSM:
please stop airing “Border Security: America” programs, showing how tough US is about who does or doesn’t get into the country. that’s the least you could do to end the hypocrisy.
Anybody remember being around the border after the Carter amnesty? I do. Mess!
NO. you are a liar and anti-american. you sold out our country for your own gain like your papi did too.
George W Bush must be suffering from senility and has forgotten that when younger brother Jeb said that illegals were good for us and then got clobbered in the 2016 primary.
I don’t recall Democrats regretting their vote for any of the Democrat presidents. A lot of Republicans regret Bush 41 and Bush 43.
Dtto
They just re-elected Cornyn who is working on amnesty with Sinema of AZ.
South Carolina has re-elected Flimsey Grahamnesty after THREE amnesty votes.
Florida will be re-electing Amnestio Rubio.
We are getting amnesty because we keep voting for it.
No Bush ever again under any circumstances. Never.
This is like saying the way to stop crime is to pardon everyone in jail and let them out free. Problem solved, right?
The whole Bush family elevates the morons among us to a Mensa
International Candidate status.
Why isn’t he concerned about the Christians driven from Iran due to his invasion?
