Former President Bush pays tribute to immigrants in new book
AP ^ | Aug 6 2020 | HILLEL ITALIE

NEW YORK (AP) — A new book by former President George W. Bush will highlight an issue which now sets him apart from many of his fellow Republicans — immigration.

Crown announced Thursday that Bush’s “Out Of Many, One: Portraits of America’s Immigrants” will be published March 2. The book includes 43 portraits by the 43rd president, four-color paintings of immigrants he has come to know over the years, along with biographical essays he wrote about each of them.

Bush, who served as president from 2001-2009, has often praised the contributions of immigrants, a notable contrast to President Donald Trump’s rhetoric and policies. As president, Bush supported a bipartisan immigration reform bill that narrowly failed to pass in 2007, with opposition coming from both liberals and conservatives.

So glad I didn’t support this doofus for re-election in 2004, and didn’t vote for his followers McCain (2008) and Romney (2012) either. So proud I didn’t buy what the Bush GOAp was selling, and I still don’t.

Freepers who worshipped George W Bush and his Iraq war need —- and FLAMED anyone who didn’t agree — some time for self reflection

The AP still can’t distinguish IMMIGRANT from ILLEGAL ALIEN.

his paintings look like ‘paint by number’ seriously- while he does a good job getting likenesses- his shading looks very paint by number-like-

Bush Day for Big Media, trying to excite all the “consistent conservative” Hussein Head RINOs to choose the demented pedophile over Trump.

The 2016 “consistent conservatives” here already bought it, Big Media!

Which kind? Legal immigrants or those that come in over the fence?

He has disgraced his presidency. He goes 8 yrs being blamed and doesn’t say a peep and now you can’t shut him up.

LEGAL immigration is just as harmful as illegal immigration. We need to halt ALL immigration for 4 decades at least.

My first thought.....GWB left out a very important word...
“LEGAL”... immigrant. America has always welcomed those who want to come to our great country for good purposes and via legal paths.

The ONLY purpose of LEGAL immigration is to increase the labor supply and reduce wages of Americans. The only purpose.

I voted for this asshole twice... him and his old man have done so much damage to families and the country as a whole with endless immigration and wars.

Dubya’s RINO globalist disciples still infect our current political discourse... Karl Rove, Dana Perino, Yeb!, Liz Cheney, etc

they must be destroyed.
