https://newsmax.com/politics/george-w-bush-immigration-republicans/2021/04/20/id/1018316/The modern Republican party is "isolationist, protectionist, and to a certain extent, nativist," former President George W. Bush said Tuesday, adding that the more conservative leanings are "not my vision" for the party.
However, Bush told NBC's "Today," during a wide-ranging interview touching on immigration, the Derek Chauvin trial, and more, that he does have hope that a more moderate Republican that supports a path to citizenship for undocumented workers, reasonable gun reform measures, extra money for schools, topics that are often seen as too-progressive in today's politics, could win in his party's 2024 presidential primary.
It would win the democrat nomination rather easily
These morons think Jeb can win in 24. Book it
"It's a beautiful country we have, and yet, it’s not beautiful when we condemn [and] call people names and scare people about immigration," said Bush. "It’s an easy issue to frighten some of the electorate. And I’m trying to have a different kind of voice."
He added that it's hard for many Americans to understand the kind of desperation people are having to leave their countries and come to a new land.
"They can't understand why a mother becomes so desperate that she's willing to put her children in the hands of a coyote or a smuggler," said Bush. "There has been a lot of devastation in Central America and political upheavals and earthquakes and gangs. People are intimidated and they are streaming to our border. The system needs to be reformed and fixed."
W ought to drive through downtown LA and then shut the fuck up

Even now a majority of Republican still overwhelming support legal immigration. It's fraud's like W. and Maverick that allowed someone like Trump to come along.
