George W. Bush Lobbies Republicans to Work with Joe Biden on Amnesty for Illegal Aliens
Former President George W. Bush is lobbying House and Senate Republicans to work with President Joe Biden on amnesty for illegal aliens.

One family photo sums up my personality perfectly. I was about 3 and we re at the Christmas table. We had those streamers you blow out at parties and I ve got one up each nostril.
