Bush Center Slams Trump: We Want More Migration

The economics director at President George W. Bush’s advocacy center slammed President Donald Trump’s popular, pro-American immigration policy.

The May 1 slam came just before Bush posted a May 2 video urging national unity in the coronavirus crash that has pushed more than 25 million Americans out of jobs.

“The most important thing to remember in this is that we don’t want [Trump’s] temporary policy to become permanent immigration policy,” economic director Laura Collins said a video posted on the center’s Twitter account. She continued:

We know immigrants are good for the economy. We know they’re good for our culture. We know they’re in this fight with us together, and we’re going to meet them working with us side by side in any recovery after the pandemic is over.

Trump’s April 22 immigration policy says the economic needs of American employees are more important than the immigration preferences of foreigners. His policy temporarily trims the annual inflow of legal immigrants and directs agencies to review visa worker programs in 30 days.

Polls show the public — including recent immigrants — is overwhelmingly aligned with Trump in prioritizing jobs for Americans over welcomes for legal immigrants.

The visa worker programs targeted by Trump are extremely important to the Fortune 500. In response, the companies’ lobbyists and progressives allies have quickly launched a hard-nosed lobbying campaign and a soft-focus PR campaign to protect the programs and mass migration.

The Bush center has joined the #AllofUS campaign.

Another tool on the take and almost embarrassed to admit i voted for him. Almost but not really because of the other option(s). I'm not suggesting they commit suicide to silence themselves, but silence themselves they should.

Easy now...lets not suggest infighting.

Thats the last thing needed in our country. Theres probably a temptation for OUR current administration to be a bit defensive given the last 3 years of being continually slammed for breathing by many commercial and cable news nets.

Our President wants us all to get through this - yet every single word he utters is played over and over and over again. Much taken out of context. LIKEWISE when others speak, that too is played over and over again as rebuttal.

If all our energy can be put forth trying to get solutions - rather than TEMPERTANTURMS - well.........

Y-KNOT?

Immigration has increased every year since Trump became president. The whining from the Left is created around a lie.

If you have more people than you have work it keeps the wages down. They don’t care about us. It’s all about the money.

Northwest Woodsman: Me too, 1:27. I totally agree. Where do these idiots come up with these ideas and proposals? Not only do we not need any further immigration, but we need to rid the country of millions that are already here sucking up our tax dollars. My exception would be white farmers from South Africa who deserve asylum far more than any other group. I have no doubts that they would be highly productive citizens.
