Stephen Miller calls George W. Bush's immigration record 'astonishing betrayal' of American people
By Brett Samuels - 02/17/19 09:45 AM EST

White House senior adviser Stephen Miller on Sunday went after former President George W. Bush's record on immigration, asserting that the rise in illegal crossings during his administration represented an "astonishing betrayal."

"Fox News Sunday" anchor Chris Wallace questioned Miller on President Trump's decision to declare a national emergency to secure funding for a wall along the southern border, noting that illegal crossings were down significantly from the year 2000.

Miller responded by attacking Bush's record on immigration.

"As you know, when George Bush came into office, illegal immigration total doubled from 6 million to 12 million by the time he left office," Miller said. "That represented an astonishing betrayal of the American people. I’m not gonna sit here today and tell you that George Bush defended this country on the southern border because he did not."

Trump and his advisers frequently use Bush as a punching bag.

No government in the 12,000 years of modern mankind history has led its people into anything but the history books with a simple lesson, don't let this happen to you.

He was pretty bad. Thankfully, regarding the "Comprehensive Immigration Reform bill "git er done" he didn't.

Sadly, I would fully agree with him.
