Former President George W. Bush threw his weight behind comprehensive immigration reform during an interview that aired Sunday on ABC's "This Week," saying it's "very important" Congress fixes a "broken" immigration system, and predicting that a comprehensive bill "has a chance to pass."
"I think it's very important to fix a broken system, to treat people with respect, and have confidence in our capacity to assimilate people," Bush said. He did not explicitly endorse a recently passed Senate immigration reform bill, only saying the legislative process can be "ugly," but it appears as if Congress is "making progress."
