The Bush message on immigration is the right one.

Former president George W. Bush and former first lady Laura Bush at a naturalization ceremony with new U.S. citizens, including Felix Odeh of Nigeria, at the George W. Bush Presidential Center in Dallas on March 18. Forty-nine people representing 20 countries became citizens at the ceremony.

“We’re a state that thrives due to the prosperity, ingenuity, transformation, and generosity of immigrants. And we are a much richer state for all the cultures that have settled on our land,” Laura Bush said. “My life has been shaped by this richness. My grandparents were drawn to Texas by the twin promises of opportunity and good health amid the bright sunshine and dry desert air of West Texas.” She put her own family within the tradition of immigration to Texas.

Wouldn’t it make sense to stop putting this president on the television? Stop allowing him to say his vile words and call the press reports “fake news”. Give him a break of about a month not SEEING himself there and I bet he’d be a little less nasty. Well, maybe.

Is this article supposed to be biased?

And he was a complete moron who started an unjust war that killed thousands, will cost trillions of dollars long term and he also presided over the near destruction of the US economy. W was nothing to look back on w anything but shame.

Trump favors legal immigration. I do not recall any President past or present supporting illegal immigration.

Presidential instead of buffoonish?

You mean like this --

For legal ones

Different era, different time. Illegal immigrants were not over running our US Borders. Times have changed big time!

You can pretend immigration = illegal border crossing all you want. Doesn’t make it true.

False flag WMDs in Iraq, million dead?

LMAO. What we have now a the southern border ISN'T immigration, it's a full on invasion. We aren't the world's flophouse.

There are well over 55k homeless throughout LA alone, many gen. teens that grow up in LA, have found it harder to get work due to the over 3 MM illegal aliens that at taking more then many want or even care to want to take into account. Over immigration the world over hinders.

Remember when the press used to be fair and balanced?

Remember when the Post hated GWB? Now they are revising history again.

Yes I do… AntiTrumpBiasDenied

Even bad presidents look great compared to Trump.

Nobody has a problem with immigration. As usual the FAKE NEWS doesn’t address what the issue is. ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION. WAPOFAKENEWS

Yeah, but a wall helps me deal with the anger I have inside from not being able to get hard all the way to the tip no more

Like war criminals?

I wasnt a big fan of Bush but at least he was presidential.

Experts slam Trump for 'halting legal immigration' with planned closure of overseas immigration offices“It is not consistent with what President Trump said in the State of the Union, which is that he wants immigrants to come here, that he wants them to come here legally,” Mark Hetfield, president of the U.S. refugee assistance organization HIAS said. We need to get a handle on immigration in this country. If Trump actually did this great. Too many illegals. Don't need to import more poverty. Legal immigration Anti semitism?
