Borders Should Be ‘Respected’ Says George W. Bush

According to former US president George W. Bush , who invaded & bombed at least four countries, borders need to be respected.





Am sure most Iraqis would agree with his statement.


Borders are not imaginary lines and they must be respected by all, Bush declared, seemingly unaware of the numerous border-defying US bombings and invasions during his administration.





But as RT reports: Twitter remembers!
Weighing in on the contentious immigration debate that has gripped the country, the Republican ex-president suggested that Americans should find a common middle ground in order to break the political deadlock.


“That starts with recognizing a plain responsibility at the border – and, in an often chaotic situation, being willing to state the obvious: Borders are not arbitrary and they need to be respected – along with the fine men and women of immigration services and our Border Patrol,” he said during a naturalization ceremony for new citizens, hosted at the Bush Presidential Center in Dallas, Texas.



His comments come as Donald Trump locks horns with Congress over his declared state of the emergency at the US-Mexico border – a crisis that, according to Trump, can be alleviated by building a wall to keep out illegal immigrants.





But is Bush really the right person to lecture America about the sanctity of borders? “No,” answered Twitter.
