George W. Bush unveils his new paintings. And his thoughts on immigration.

George W Bush: Immigration is a defining asset of the United States.
This is so touching and uplifting. What a man. What a family. Using his post-presidency life to paint pictures of immigrants and their stories

Next week, I’m proud to publish a new collection of my paintings, entitled “Out of Many, One.” The book may not set the art world stirring — hopefully, the critics won’t call it “One Too Many.”
I set out to accomplish two things: to share some portraits of immigrants, each with a remarkable story I try to tell, and to humanize the debate on immigration and reform.
I hope that these faces, and the stories that accompany them, serve as a reminder that immigration isn’t just a part of our heritage. New Americans are just as much a force for good now, with their energy, idealism and love of country, as they have always been.

The backgrounds are varied, but readers won’t have to search hard for a common theme. It’s gratitude. So many immigrants are filled with appreciation, a spirit nicely summed up by a Cuban American friend who said: “If I live for a hundred years, I could never repay what this country has done for me.”

George Bush's immigration solution:
quote:
Effective border management starts well beyond the border, so we must work with our neighbors to help them build freedom and opportunity so their citizens can thrive at home. We cannot rely on enforcement alone to prevent the untenable and so often heartbreaking scenes that come with large-scale migration.
We also need a modernized asylum system that provides humanitarian support and appropriate legal channels for refugees to pursue their cases in a timely manner. The rules for asylum should be reformed by Congress to guard against unmerited entry and reserve that vital status for its intended recipients.
Increased legal immigration, focused on employment and skills, is also a choice that both parties should be able to get behind. The United States is better off when talented people bring their ideas and aspirations here. We could also improve our temporary entry program, so that seasonal and other short-term jobs can more readily be filled by guest workers who help our economy, support their families and then return home.
As for the millions of undocumented men and women currently living in the United States, a grant of amnesty would be fundamentally unfair to those who came legally or are still waiting their turn to become citizens. But undocumented immigrants should be brought out of the shadows through a gradual process in which legal residency and citizenship must be earned, as for anyone else applying for the privilege. Requirements should include proof of work history, payment of a fine and back taxes, English proficiency and knowledge of U.S. history and civics, and a clean background check. We should never forget that the desire to live in the United States — a worldwide and as powerful an aspiration as ever — is an affirmation of our country and what we stand for. Over the years, our instincts have always tended toward fairness and generosity. The reward has been generations of grateful, hard-working, self-reliant, patriotic Americans who came here by choice.
quote:
One place to start is DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals). Americans who favor a path to citizenship for those brought here as children, known as "dreamers," are not advocating open borders. They just recognize that young men and women who grew up in the United States, and who never knew any other place as home, are fundamentally American. And they ought not be punished for choices made by their parents.

Maybe he should spend his time painting pictures of the soldiers that died in Iraq because of his lies.

Bush was so bad....pretty much gave us Obama. Why didn’t he press harder on the housing loan debacle of the Clintons???

George W is my reminder to myself how wrong I can be, especially when it comes to politics. I was convinced that GW could be trusted and that he only had America’s best interest at heart, and if he thought we should invade Iraq, then there must be good reason for it. I bargained with myself and sold myself on the idea that a successful democracy, self sustaining through oil proceeds would be a shining example of freedom in the Middle East and would spur revolutions in Iran, Syria, Libya that would solve all our terrorist problems that were the main threat at the time. Therefore, it was worth it and I was fully supportive of the war in Iraq.
Damn, I was fricking stupid at 27 years old.

Here's another one he created of Trisha, who sells make-up door to door in Preston, Idaho. Beautiful.
