George W. Bush Renews Amnesty Push for Illegal Immigrants
16 Apr 2021
Former President George W. Bush urged Americans Friday to join him in supporting widespread amnesty for illegal immigrants brought to the United States as children and those living in the country illegally.
“Americans who favor a path to citizenship for those brought here as children, known as ‘dreamers,’ are not advocating open borders,” Bush wrote in a
Washington Post op-ed.
Bush pointed to former President Barack Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) amnesty program and called for a permanent amnesty for recipients.
Bush argued DACA recipients were “fundamentally American” and did not know any other home than the United States.
