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.

Poor George, he may have been born with a silver foot in his mouth (Gov. Ma Richards reference), but he apparently does not understand the meaning of ‘securing’.

I said it then and I’ll say it now: It takes a special kind of idiot to earn the hate of virtually everyone on both sides of the isle.
Yes, Sir, Analogys are spot on.
I'm not sure that a another major terrorist event would ultimately change border security and immigration policy any more than 911 has. GDub and his friends in the uniparty know where the average American's head is--his/her pockets.

Right. Nothing will drive the kids away like handing out free candy.
Maybe George can house thousands at his ranch and provide medical care.

H W Bush was to Reagan as Pence was to Trump. Both there to protect status quo deep state against independent actors elected by the people.
The fact is nothing will secure the Southern border - not a wall, etc. Illegal immigration will only stop when the U.S. stops incentivizing it.
