A Lawful and Welcoming Society

Every year that passes without reforming our nation's immigration policy means missed opportunities to ensure the future prosperity, vitality, and security of our country. When immigrants assimilate and advance in our society, they realize their dreams, renew our spirit, and add to the unity of America.

The Bush Institute believes it is critical to be both a lawful society and a welcoming society at the same time. Since our inception in 2009, we've retained a clear-eyed focus on the need for bold, principle-based solutions that comprehensively address the issues and debate around immigration, including how to securely and effectively manage the border.
