Many readers likely are wondering why Laura Bush put her name on an op-ed condemning President Trump for enforcing a border protection law that her husband signed into law.
The short answer is she is all the Democrats have left
Their leadership is too tainted by scandal or incompetence (and in the case of Hillary, both) to persuade anyone.
Bill is a joke with his pants around his ankles. Obama's legacy quickly shrank like a cheap T-shirt in its first wash. Not one of their 2020 candidates had sense enough to give President Trump a sportsmanlike chance, which renders their sermons on morality to be the political opportunism in the eyes of even among the low-information voters who are the bedrock of their electoral battle plan.
Thus the outreach to a former Republican. Old President Bush is too old. The younger President Bush is too ashamed of his presidency to speak out.
So it fell upon Laura Bush to put her name on this column.
She is a former Republican because if you did not support our candidate in the last presidential election, then you have left the team. Parties are national. Either you support the nominee or you lose your membership.
The Democrats are pushing to erase the borders. They cannot make a valid argument, and so they must make an emotional one. They chose children being torn from their mothers as the emotional tug.
The roll out 10 days ago was messy because they chose for their propaganda a heart-wrenching photo from 2014 -- when Democrats were in charge.
But nevertheless, they plunge forward. They want open borders now, now, now.
"I live in a border state. I appreciate the need to enforce and protect our international boundaries, but this zero-tolerance policy is cruel. It is immoral. And it breaks my heart," she wrote.
That's the law her husband agreed to.
And the piece included the kind of chest-thumping morality that Obama favors.
"Americans pride ourselves on being a moral nation. 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," she wrote.
How many children of military parents did her husband separate with his wars in Afghanistan and Iraq?
The Establishment likes cheap labor and so they exploit illegal immigrants to achieve this.
Which they wrap in morality, like Keith Olbermann wrapping himself in an American flag for his book cover. The difference is they are less sincere.

How many families can the Bush Ranch take, Laura?
Who’s listening to the former librarian?
there should be something we could spray that would rid us of unwanted bushes.
I never heard Laura bemoan the children killed in the Bush family wars on Iraq. Just another example of contrived selective outrage.
Someone tell her that her painter husband signed the law. Where has she been since he enacted the law.
Go back to checking out books.
How many families can the Bush Ranch take, Laura?
*************
Yeah, she should invite Jimmuh Cartuh to build some immigrant housing on the Bush Ranch. But she’s a cheap critic who won’t put her money where her mouth is.
The Bush family has been untrustworthy since “Read my lips...”
Laura, why don’t you wake up and understand what is happening instead of making stupid comments. Show that you have some intelligence.
When Bush was in office there came out a plea from the WH to please write in your wishes for his new term to try and work on. This came from a WH website, official and gave you the link to write in what you wanted the President to do.
So I wrote in (after filling out the entire form, that I felt the immigration into the country needed to be stopped. Too many people coming in. I am in Phoenix and we are flooded here with South Americans, illegals, many many many.
I then noticed in the ensuing rest of his term he never addressed it.
That told me a lot about the Bush agenda.

And that the Bush family are a bunch of despicable back stabbing idiots.
“Whos listening to the former librarian?”
The Bush men, that is who is listening to the librarian. When Laura says “jump” George and Jeb ask “How high?” Laura Bush reminds me of the “steel magnolia” Rosalynn Carter. Screw them.
She was never a Republican. Neither was her husband. One good thing that has come out of this propaganda blitz is that it has shown that the Bushes and their allies like McCain and Romney will always support the Uniparty when the chips are down. The 'rats are definitely getting desperate because they are forcing their formerly secret operatives to out themselves.
Laura Bush if you’re honest divorce your husband he started this by signing the bill.
Selective outrage, but the Texans are still hopeful about the Bushes for some strange reason.
Another milquetoast republican spouse with no credentials lecturing me on proper policy. I would rather she shut the hell up and enjoy her taxpayer funded lifestyle.
Dear Laura,
Congratulations on awakening from your long term coma.
Please take some time and gather your senses before the bitter Bush clan uses you to criticize President Trump.
After all, he is simply enforcing the law passed by George W. Bush. If you are not sure who that is please ask around.
Surely if you were conscious in 2014 you would have know that President Obama separated even MORE children from their parents, kept them in cyclone fence dog pens AND wrapped them in tin foil blankets.
It seems your coma came with equal parts amnesia. You mention Japanese internment camps but fail to mention they were created by a DEMOCRAT named FDR and forced AMERICAN Citizens into Nazi style camps. The invaders YOU are so concerned about are NOT citizens and are here ILLEGALY.
all thing considered, please just shut your mouth and take the bitter Bush clan with you.

I have more respect for Nancy drooling Pelousy than the Bushes. She is deeply stupid.
I have slowly morphed to the position that the Bushes are evil.
There is evil and stupid - and just plain evil.
