“I think it's important that it remain legal,
because I think it's important for people, for medical reasons, and other reasons.”

On Sunday, a day we as a nation set aside to honor fathers and the bonds of family, I was among the millions of Americans who watched images of children who have been torn from their parents. In the six weeks between April 19 and May 31, the Department of Homeland Security has sent nearly 2,000 children to mass detention centers or foster care. More than 100 of these children are younger than 4 years old. The reason for these separations is a zero-tolerance policy for their parents, who are accused of illegally crossing our borders.
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.
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.
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.

Congress must come up with a plan for protecting our country from invasion.
We should listen to Laura. She is specially trained Library Sciences!
There is 25 Billion for building the wall in the pending immigration legislation. The Deep State is pulling out all the stops to try and kill this bill.
If it passes President Trump will most likely be re-elected in a landslide. And that will nearly destroy the Uniparty Cucks...
I have and idea. Tell the parents that if they turn right around and willingly go back over the boarder then they can take their children with them.
Mrs. Bush, I have an idea.
You take all of the childrenz to Crawford and let them frolic and play in Your yard at the Ranch...
First Ladies, present and former, get a break because they stay the F out of politics. Sound advice for Laura if she wants to avoid getting some mud slung in her direction.
After Patricia Nixon, every Presidential bedwarmer has been a moron, usually a leftist moron. Start off with Betty Ford getting a dope rehab center NAMED after her. Carter was a leftist. Nancy Reagan used a pagan astrologer, Babs Bush was a batty leftist, then Hillary, then Laura the left wing abortion advocating open border shill, and then good old Moochelle.
Finally we have a nice supportive normal one who doesn’t get involved in policy.
Melania is cool and pretty.

Getting separated from your parents is the chance your parents take when they violate the law. These immigration SJWs try my patience.
So, feel free to set up some housing for them on your ranch in Waco. You and your hubby freight the bill. You’re rich enough.
Mine too, but the law is the law.
Why can’t they shut up like they did for the last 8 years of Hussein?
Remember when people thought the Bushes were conservative? Hahahahahahaha!
And why has it she said NOTHING when BO’B began this practice aback in 2015 during the JADE HELM experience. He chose the Walmart stores, just as he kept the children in cages ready to be shipped out to the highest bidder in the bidding wars of the pedophilia crowd he and HRC hung around.
The two had to fill the d’rat coffers in some fashion, after all. Elections are expensive!
There is no fact to be seen expressing all of the above, but even the unintelligent can manage to add 2 plus 2. And, let’s face it, BO’B as admitted he can’t balance his check book, and HRC only collects money; she seldom distributes it to anyone.
BTW, at the time of Jade Helm, there was another controversy involving a nationwide test of our emergency broadcast system. Unable to remember the details of this, but we were concerned that BO’B was attempting another nefarious move to take from us just another part of our rightful heritage. Attempted to search, having no recognition of the actual event, unable to find any information. As a nation, we did manage to get through this disaster, but we were certainly sitting on eggshells at the time, fearful of the ogre in the castle.
SO, Laura Bush, Former first lady, where were YOU at the time all this was taking place. Front and Center standing with your FELLOW AMERICAN CITIZENS? No, you were not. You’ve not even once given us the time of day in defending US against EVIL.
You, your husband and his family conspired to bring this country down. So clam it, and ram it Mrs. B. We have lost our affection for you and your clan.
Laura,
Solve your own problems before you start telling Americans what to do.
Joining the Bush Family must mandate a 50 pt drop in IQ.
Truly one of the dumbest families in politics.
Perhaps parents who put their children at risk by forcing them to break the law, should not have custody of those children.
She has 1600 acres plenty of room
She’s a breath of fresh air after all those.
