Mrs. Bush Rails Against 'Cruel' Border Separation Policy
townhall.com ^ | 6/18/2018 | Cortney O'Brien

Posted on 06/18/2018 9:51:43 AM PDT by rktman

The Trump administration's policy of separating illegal immigrant families at the U.S.-Mexico border doesn't sit well with some people, including former First Lady Laura Bush. In a new op-ed for The Washington Post, Mrs. Bush explained why the White House's zero tolerance policy is "cruel," "immoral," and "breaks her heart."

Mrs. Bush compared today's policy of separating families to our treatment of Japanese Americans during World War Two.

Sit down and shut-up, Laura.

The Washington Post running an op-ed authored by Laura Bush is a perfect example of the bottom of the barrel scraping the bottom of the barrel.

Get lost Laura!

You and your family (and Juan McCain and other RINOs) did your level best to cram Amnesty down our throats in 2006 but we stood strong against your “one world order” policies until you crawled back home, now shut up and do lunch!

They hate Trump because he is a threat to their New World Order.
Daddy Bush “adopted” the guy who threw him out of office.
Yeb! was supposed to be the Designated Loser for Hillary like McCain and Romney were for the Kenyanesian Usurper.
As long as they prevented US from electing anyone who would enforce the laws and borders, it didn’t matter if it was Rubio or Yeb! or any other Bush League Republican.
It’s all about stealing the country from the citizens by diluting our voting power by importing foreigners.

It is expected.

The good news is that it doesn’t matter. This will pass in a few days to a week.

The Left has nothing substantial to bring to the table. They are full of vitriol and empty rhetoric. This is a good sign for their adversaries as it signals their developing defeat.

I know, right? Just another confirmation that Trump has turned the big “E”(as in elites) upside down. And, they don’t like it one bit.

People whose guiding principle in government is “compassion” are dangerous. We can’t let the whole world into our country. We can’t give all of South America Welfare, housing, Food Stamps and Obamacare. If Laura Bush gets all teary-eyed over children living in a clean facility and being properly fed, then I wonder how she gets when she sees the condition of most of the children who are still in the Third World, starving to death, living in slums, with no families, being preyed upon by adults. Its a shame and an outrage but we can’t pay to stop it all. We are spending well beyond our finite resources, in part because of her dopey Compassionate Conservative husband and dopey Thousand Points of Light father-in-law.

If Laura Bush is really this worked about it, she can give up her life of going to Republican Women’s Teas and cocktail parties and give up her mansion in Texas and vacationing in Maine, and get her husband to give all their money to some refugee relief organization and she can spend her time helping the refugee children. Until she does that, she’s just another wealthy dilettante who feels more than she thinks.

When the Bush’s took Bill Clinton in and called him adopted son and brother I knew they were screwed up.

Should border-jumping parents be allowed to bring children to use as get-out-of-jail cards?

Democrats and RINOs want to manipulate Americans into saying "yes."

Yep, Daddy Bush saw that we were not going to vote for his vision of a New World Order and submit to their dictates, so he devised a plan to steal the country from the citizens by importing foreigners and diluting our voting strength.
Turning the USA into North Mexico is just a step on the road to the New World Order that Daddy Bush dreamed of.
By controlling the GOP for the last 30 years they had US boxed in voting for their amnesty candidates because the Democrat is always worse.

The Bush’s don’t like Trump because he made Jeb look like the doofus he is.

Ole' 'tippy-toes' Jeb did a pretty good job of that all on his own.

I’m sorry, I just don’t care what Mrs. Bush has to think or say.

And Trump set NK on the path to disarmament without firing a single shot or spending gazillions of dollars. I bet with his extraordinary skills he could have pulled off a similar feat with Saddam. Instead, after 5 trillion dollars and 10s of thousands of lives lost look at the mess George W left behind.
