George W. Bush calls for increased legal immigration and appeals for BOTH parties to come together as he releases new book showcasing portraits of immigrants to 'humanize' debate
UK Daily Mail ^ | April 16 2021 | GEOFF EARLE

Former President George W. Bush has renewed his call for bipartisan immigration reform – including a way for people who came here illegally to 'earn' citizenship through a 'gradual process.'

Bush made his immigration pitch – where he also called border security a potential area for agreement – as he released a new book that imbues his appeal with a humanizing portraits of immigrants.

During his time in office Bush backed 'comprehensive immigration reform' legislation that never made it through the Senate – and continues to push bipartisan efforts to an issue that has become one of the most fiercely debated topics.

So, around 1.2 million legal immigrants per year aren’t enough for this moron?

I am glad that GW got raised with older generation of Hispanics. They were polite & grateful for the employment.

He cannot see the reality of today’s Hispanics, tho-—including MS-13.

When I think of the George Bush jr. presidency, I have to rationalize it this way...We needed someone like him in power to experience jsut how bad things can be. Just as tragic is the fact that the Dems ran a candidate both times against Bush jr. who was actually worse than Jorge’.

He’s a big part of the reason I now live in Occupied Mexifornia. FUGWB, 2 needless wars *and* destroying the borders; I don’t want any dirtbag fool who supported this prick in 2000 or 2004 telling me how bad California is. Nobody can stab you in the back quite like rich Republican.

I’m sure George W. Bush was the worst foreign policy president ever. And somewhere Woodrow Wilson is smiling. He’s only the second worst now.

Now I’m beginning to think W was the worst president, period. (At least with Obama what you saw is what you got.)

The Left still hates you George.

No matter how much you lick their boots, they will still hate you.

Only now they don't respect you either.

How about portraits of raped little children on the border?
How about portraits of murder victims in the US?
How about portraits of crimes perpetrated by illegals?
How about a list of diseases these animals brought in?
How about a portrait of our national debt that is because of them?
How about portraits of the unemployed Americans who’s jobs were replaced by illegals.

When you add up the damage 3 straight two-term Presidents Clinton, Bush, and Obama had on this country, the results are catastrophic....

From Clinton to Bush and finally Obama, the results got progressively worse

“a way for people who came here illegally to ‘earn’ citizenship through a ‘gradual process’”

The would-be citizens can build mansions for their families in Honduras and Mexico.

When Americans are living in tents and Democrats are seriously considering doing away with single family zoning, then it is time to stop both legal and illegal immigration.

The Los Angeles Basin is filled to overflowing. The San Francisco Bay area is full. Long Island is almost fully built out.

Atlanta and its suburbs stretch east-to-west across half the state. Struggling Georgians voted in two Democratic senators because of promises made for financial relief.

Exactly. And we saw exactly what the enemedia did to Donald Trump when he said we should have MERIT based immigration, like every sane country in the world does.

How about humanizing those that are impacted by the invaders that are killing, raping, and stealing from the U. S. citizens. And don’t even get me started on the impact of employment.......

> There are a lot of nice immigrants. <

Yep. What burns me about W and the rest of the open-borders crowd is their complete distain for the Rule of Law. There is an orderly process to become a legal US immigrant. But anyone who follows that process now is a fool.
