The former president is in favor of a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants who pay taxes and pass background checks.
With former President Bush beginning a publicity tour for a book of his oil paintings, “Out of Many, One: Portraits of America’s Immigrants,” he hopes to set a more respectful tone regarding immigration, in turn leading to a better reform of the system.
Furthermore, Bush lamented not passing a meaningful immigration reform during his term and stated that he would lobby Republicans to support such legislation should the Biden administration present one.
