Laura Bush calls Trump border policy "cruel & immoral"

[Rustic]

As a Trump supporter I just want to say thanks to the former First Lady for her concern. But Laura Bush is sorely misguided. Separating children from their families started under Obama. Kids are hired or conscripted by drug cartels that knew they would not be prosecuted if caught. So in response kids are caught and separated - which started under Obama. The best way to prevent this is for Liberals to stop advertising open borders.

Everyone knows the southern border is wide open for anybody to cross it anytime they want for any reason...

What a ridiculous post. Who gives a shit who started it? What matters is stopping this cruelty.

If (as you say) Obama started it - then it was wrong then and it is wrong now. And it should be stopped as soon as possible - which is now.

Or are you so monumentally stupid that you are suggesting that this cruel practice should be continued because it was started by someone other then the present administration?

I am an independent who thought GWB AND Obama AND Trump were/are ALL lousy POTUS's (Trump being by MILES the worst of the three)...so I do not give a shit who started it.

I just want it stopped.

And your moronic post that ignores calls to stop it and simply tries to blame 'the other side' is a prime example of partisan politics gone insane.

Don't bother replying to this - I will not read it. I try not waste my time on closed-minded, partisan hacks who clearly care more about their party getting/staying in power then the welfare of innocent people.


Ta ta.

These people are illegal aliens they have no constitutional rights… So **** them

The drug cartels are hiring toddlers to smuggle drugs. Got it. The borders are not open and they`ve never been open. Where do you people come up with stupid shit like this?

The southern border is wide open, there’s nothing stopping people using these fucked up illegal aliens for their smuggling

Former First Lady Laura Bush, a figure popular among conservatives, spoke out against the Trump administration’s policy of separating children and their parents at the border with a Washington Post Op-Ed published Sunday in which she called the policy “cruel and immoral” and compared it to the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II.

In the column, Bush said she “appreciate the need to enforce and protect our international boundaries,” but did not shy away from blaming the Trump Administration for its zero-tolerance policy, which she described as cruel and unjust. “It is immoral,” she wrote. “And it breaks my heart.”

"Our government should not be in the business of warehousing children in converted box stores or making plans to place them in tent cities in the desert outside of El Paso. These images are eerily reminiscent of the Japanese American internment camps of World War II, now considered to have been one of the most shameful episodes in U.S. history."

"Americans pride ourselves on being a moral nation, on being the nation that sends humanitarian relief to places devastated by natural disasters or famine or war. We pride ourselves on believing that people should be seen for the content of their character, not the color of their skin. We pride ourselves on acceptance. If we are truly that country, then it is our obligation to reunite these detained children with their parents—and to stop separating parents and children in the first place."​

Can’t wait to see how Trump insults her. Is he going to go with a 3rd grade insult? Middle school?

He's got low-intelligence trumpanzees here to do that for him.

She has no idea what she’s talking about… Current politicians are always stupid in that way

Well of course. Wouldent expect any thing less from the wife of the man who tried to do amnesty right? Said it back then and I’ll say it now, **** Laura Bush, **** dubya.

So you're all for deporting even the 3.6 million Dreamer kids who were brought by their parents at a very young age, declared themselves, passed a background check (no felonies) most of whom have never known any other country?

It really does appear that Democrats are using the separations of illegal alien parents (some are not parents) from illegal alien children, as a political tool. When have American children ever accompanied their parents/guardians into jails ? When Americans are sent to jail, they go alone, not with their kids. It's been this way for hundreds of years, but have we heard an outcry from Democrats over that ?

No. We have not. It is only now, with illegal aliens, that Democrats are suddenly upset about separation of parent and child. So what about all the American kids, whose parents got locked up ? What are they ? Chopped liver ? They don't count ?

Actually, to Democrats, no they don't count. And maybe "count" is just the right word, since VOTE counts are what this is all about. Democrats want illegal aliens in the US, as VOTES for THEM. American kids and their jailed parents, aren't seen that way.

This is essentially just another example of the democrat dogma...accuse the other side of what you are doing. It was Obubba that opened the youth detention cages and stuffed them in it.

The photos used by the MSM in accusing President Trump of it came from 2014...when the mullato Muslim messiah was in the White House.

Laura Bush. The same Laura Bush whose pro mexican brother in law had a failed run for president, that Laura Bush? The Laura Bush with the Mexican sister in law who speaks no English. That Laura Bush?

Who cares what she thinks.

Pigs like you make people sick. There are a lot of people who care.

"What the administration has decided to do is to separate children from their parents to try to send a message that if you cross the border with your children, your children are going to be ripped away from you," Collins said on CBS Sunday. "That's traumatizing to the children, who are innocent victims, and it is contrary to our values in this country."

Oklahoma Sen. James Lankford said on Twitter he disagreed with separating families and linked out to a story about Oklahoma Rep. Jim Bridenstine being denied entry in 2014 to a facility where the government was holding unaccompanied children.

"I disagree with the administration's policy of separating families, but we must continue to protect the privacy of the children, many who have experienced trauma. #KeepFamiliesTogether & keep cameras away from these kids. Just like in 2014," he wrote.

Texas Rep. Will Hurd spoke out against the administration's policy and noted to CNN's Ana Cabrera on "Newsroom" that it "is clearly something that the administration can change."

"They don't need legislation to change it," Hurd said.

Former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci said on Twitter that the separations are "not the Christian way, the American way, nor what @POTUS wants."

But he went on say over Twitter that "The President can reverse it, and I hope he does."

Ok so you say this started with Obama.

Yet you say democrats advertise open borders.

Do you see how illogical your statement is?

If Obama started this why would he want open borders?

How can a party that started this want open borders?

Either democrats want to stop illegal immigration and separate kids from parents.

Or democrats want open borders.

You can't say both because they contradict one another.

Stop with the lies. It just makes you look like the fool you obviously are.

It's not my fault your side can't get their shit together. Who's the fool now.

This was not happening under Obama.

You are the fool. Your side can't get it's act together. Republicans are committing suicide.

Actually it was, you’re just choosing to ignore it like the fucked in the head progressive you are

So what President Obama, Bush, Clinton did nothing to deal with illegal immigration or border security if they and their families are not happy with what Trump is doing they should have gotten the job done when they held the office.

Unless you are politically Naive, this is kind of easy.

You have a sitting President that cannot run again when he orders the detaining and separation. This will be seen as an appeal to the center of the Democratic base and an attempt at luring some from the right as well.

While at the same time freeing up the left in congress to advocate loose borders, which appeals to the left and progressives.

It was a calculated political move. It failed of course, but is the reality of the situation.

The children have undergone trauma. Yeah. The trauma of seeing their own gang banger fathers, uncles and brothers killing rival gang bangers.

Nothing to worry about. They will have the same thing here.

What a fear-mongering idiotic post - but we've learned to expect such from you.
