Bush says Congress at fault for 'broken' immigration system

Daily Mail  

President George W. Bush blames Congress for the 'broken' immigration system and believes Biden's withdrawal of troops in Afghanistan will create a dangerous 'vacuum' Former President George W. Bush said it's Congress' fault - not Presidents Donald Trump or Joe Biden's - that the US has a broken immigration system. Additionally, in the same interview, Bush said he believed President Joe Biden's planned withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan wasn't 'necessary.' Bush said Congress would most likely need to take a 'piecemeal approach' to fix the country's immigration system, as a big bill is likely out of reach. US soldiers are seen handing over a base to Afghan security forces in Helmand Province 'What you’re seeing is a border that reflects a broken system, and there needs to be changes,' Bush said.
