Laura Bush blasts immigration policy


Jun 18, 2018, 1:36 PM

"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. We also know that this treatment inflicts trauma; interned Japanese have been two times as likely to suffer cardiovascular disease or die prematurely than those who were not interned."

I see your point, but it doesn't have anything to do with separating the children from their parents.


They've even lost Bill O'Reilly on this issue:

The government should know how bad this looks and how innocent children are actually suffering. That kind of scenario is unacceptable to most Americans as exemplified by former First Lady Laura Bush’s withering criticism.

It is so screwed up


Jun 18, 2018, 1:52 PM

rock and hard place

from what I've read, if parents don't want asylum, they are reunited with kiddos immediately and put back on the south side of the border.

Think I'd have to go back, but I dunno where they've come from

the thing is, substantially all of these people

do not qualify for asylum. There are very specific criteria for qualifying asylum and being a poor Latino is not one of them.

I was in Fourth Circuit in Richmond for an appellate argument a few months ago and the appeal before ours was a Honduran woman was seeking asylum and was denied even though she had been threatened with rape by a local gang. She lost her appeal even though all of the judges were liberal. I read the opinion and the judges basically said that they sympathized with her plight but their hands were tied.

What we are seeing is a result of failed policies of the past where all an immigrant had to do is claim asylum and they were released to disappear into vastness of America to never be heard from again. They were abusing the asylum process to game the system.

what we are seeing now is that "feelings" trump LAWS


Jun 18, 2018, 2:23 PM

no pun intended.

The parents put the children in this position, NOT the government.

illegal immigration/ asylum seeking is a gamble. A gamble has both a positive OR negative outcome.

The problem here is that they dont like the negative outcome and are praying on the "feelings" of liberals.

Do you have children? If you would not break the law to prevent your child's rape or murder, please sterilize yourself. I'm not kidding.

"please sterilize yourself" - wait, who is supposed to be

most aren't fleeing rape, etc


Jun 18, 2018, 2:52 PM [ in reply to Re: what we are seeing now is that "feelings" trump LAWS ]

some are, and for them, can't imagine.....
but most are economically burdened, seeking better life. Worth a shot, maybe, esp if done in legal means, but would you willfully separate yourself from your kids?

You realize you're arguing for *more* wealth inequality? As it is, we're half a step above shipping our jobs to slave countries thanks to nearly 30 years of globalism.

Yep. Get ready for the Soros-funded street protests.


Jun 18, 2018, 7:33 PM [ in reply to Globalist regurgitates globalist propaganda... ]

It's no accident that this manufactured outrage happens to coincide with the DACA amnesty bill that Paul RINO is about to send to the President. Trump already said he wouldn't sign it. Liberals will push anyway because amnesty for illegals = votes.

Same policy


Jun 18, 2018, 6:24 PM

I'm pretty sure this is the same policy the Bushes, Clinton's and Obama's used during their time on the throne.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Hahaha! The same policy practiced by her husband.

90% of these kids are escorted by strangers, not family members.
