Former President George W. Bush ambled back into the spotlight Tuesday to laud legal immigration, a decade after he helped inflate the real-estate bubble to its 2007 peak while trying to boost homeownership among Hispanics.
“America is a nation of immigrants. … Immigrants can help build a dynamic tomorrow. … They invigorate our soul,” Bush said at the keynote speech of a one-day symposium on immigration’s role in the economy at the Dallas-based George W. Bush Institute.
“Growing up in Texas we have had the honor and privilege of meeting many of the newly arrived,” the former president said. “They see education as bright future for their children, some will willingly defend the flag.”
That pitch was echoed by several panel speakers, including Steven Moore, a libertarian economist and columnist at the Wall Street Journal. On one trip to border farms, Moore enthused, he met a crop-picking Mexican who was working three low-wage jobs.
“That’s the kind of person we need in this country,” he declared.

Do you remember how back in 2004 during the December tsunami, Bush Sr. and Bill Clinton went on television to announce a new charity to help the victims of the tsunami? Well, I don’t think that was really about charity, I think it was a meeting of two dynasties working out how they were going to share power. It appears that Bush Sr. probably thought that Hillary would run for president in 2008, which she did, but of course neither of them guessed that Obama would interfere in their little plan. Anyway, both the Bush family and Clintons are one worlders. If you notice that Clinton was a Rhodes scholar, the Rhodes scholarships were begun by Cecil Rhodes who used them to promote other one worlders to the top positions in national governments. You can see this in Europe as well, most of the European leaders appear to be puppets of the one worlder powers, whether they are *left* or *right*.
The peaceful passing of power. barf.
The children of the immigrants as well as are own are only taught that this country was founded by evil old white men who never did anything worth emulating.
Texas is the conservative version of California. They can’t seem to realize that their leaders have sold them out to cheap labor interests.
I feel the same way you do. We are all lifting the rug and seeing all the cockroaches running in all directions. So many of the people that we thought were distinguished statesmen are now looking like cheap, lying politicians. They always were cheap lying politicians, we just believed their slick pr.
They all waited their turn.
I don’t know what it is with these jokers, but the Hispanic population is around 13%. Even f it’s a few percentage points higher, how are we one of the largest Spanish speaking nations of the world.
We’re an 87% English speaking nation Mr. Bush. I am so sick of this obsession with Hispanics to the ignoring of the other 87% of us.
I wish folks fully understood what amnesty will usher in.
They have no idea.
I agree. I don’t think it was any accident that Bachmann and Cain—and even maybe Newt and Santorum—were inspired to run.
Bush may have made a half-hearted effort to moderate the Democrat cesespool that was Fannie and Freddie, but he pushed ever greater mortgages to minorities who couldn’t afford them, which was the cause of the crisis.

Exactly! We need skilled labor not crop pickers. Open up quotas from Northern Europe, especially former socialist countries.

Yes, and it is so disheartening.
I have been around the block a few times, as I am going on 66, and I am usually a pretty good judge of character. But I have been always an upbeat and optimistic person.
Now, seeing the theft of the election and watching the republic lapse into a coma, I feel no hope for our future. It does not matter much for me at my age — except for when the Death Panel rules on my case — but what really breaks my heart is looking at my three grandsons and knowing that the Shining City on a Hill has crashed into the ocean, and they will not even be taught about what a great nation this once was.
I am in tears as I type what one of my older sisters said to me: We got to live in the best part of it.
It’s heartbreaking to know that the torch we had planned to pass has been extinguished, while most of the country does not even seem to know or care.
Carolla is a brave man. He will get death threats just like I did when I spoke out in public about this.
” W, please listen.
Ours is a nation with a culture of it’s own. If you swamp a nation with it’s own culture, in short order you will overwhelm it, morph it, destroy it.
Why should we give up our culture? Our Constitution, probably the best one ever devised, becomes worth less as millions come here and ignore it.”
It is high time that Americans realize that W is for merging Mexico and Canada with our country. Anyone who wants to argue this with me, have at it.
“Really? He has kept his mouth shut about the Rats’ destruction of our country, their stealing of the election, yet he shows up to push this garbage.”
Do you all remember when Pelosi took over the House? Bush was right there to hug her, and a few minutes later said “ On the bright side, maybe we can now do something with “COMPREHENSIVE IMMIGRATION REFORM “
Bush is a traitor to the United States!
“I wish folks fully understood what amnesty will usher in.
They have no idea.”
30 years in California taught me all I need to know about the effects of illegal immigration. Now it is spreading out all across America, and there are easily 20 million of them, maybe more. That 11 million figure goes back to 2002...ten years ago, and it has never been updated. Americans will find out when it is too late. Nice of Dubya to keep his mouth shut for 4 years during all of the Obama atrocities. Now he is back to help Obama push amnesty. I despise this man!
Bush's selection of immigration as a topic for his speech was no accident, believe me. It was planned and executed with all the precision of major campaign speeches.
In fact, the immigration issue was the carefully selected opening shot for the 'Jeb for President' campaign, the speech executed by a personage designated to get media and public attention on a nation-wide scale....namely, a former president of the United States.
We already know Jeb's position on immigration which ties in with the speech's content. Jeb's brother George may lapse back into a coma again, but a hotly-debated spotlight has now been turned up several notches. The gauntlet has been thrown down at the feet of conservatives.
The issue of immigration now will be swooped up by the media and the RINOs. We will be bombarded with propaganda about the GOP "expanding its base" and pleas for "amnesty reform" (translation: full amnesty).
In short, George W's thinly disguised propaganda speech was programmed to begin softening up the populace on immigration.....inaugurating the long road to the eventual and inevitable announcement of the candidacy of amnesty-loving Jeb Bush.
