George W Bush takes a swipe at Trump as he welcomes new US citizens: 'Dial down the rhetoric'
Former US president used the naturalization ceremony at the George W Bush Presidential Center in Dallas on Monday to praise the 'blessing' of immigration in the United States
In a rare public appearance on Monday, former US President George W Bush greeted new US citizens and described immigration as "a blessing and a strength" as part of a subtle attack against President Donald Trump who has campaigned against illegal immigration ever since he announced his presidential candidacy in 2016.
The naturalization ceremony took place on Monday at the Bush Institute in Dallas where more than four dozen immigrants from 22 countries were sworn in as citizens, NZ Herald reports.
