In 2011, George Bush warned about the rise of fear… During a Q&A on C-SPAN, President George Bush reflected on what he saw as a resurgence of familiar currents in American politics: isolationism, protectionism, and nativism. He pointed to the 1920s as a moment worth revisiting — an era marked by “America First” sentiment, more restrictive immigration laws, and skepticism of global trade, all of which some historians connect to the economic struggles that followed. His message wasn’t a condemnation, but a caution: history has patterns, and it’s worth asking where those patterns might lead. What stood out most was his hope for a future shaped by thoughtful, forward-looking immigration policy. More than a decade later, it’s still a question worth considering: how does history inform the choices we make today? #Politics #GeorgeBush #Immigration #Government #Throwback
