Former First Lady Laura Bush has come out against the Arizona immigration law, pointing to the discrimination that her own Irish ancestors, named Welch, faced in their time.
In an interview with Fox News, Bush said the new law merely showed an upsurge in prejudice similar to what her Irish ancestors faced.

You probably mean “borders”, si??
BTW...it’s now fair to say the Laura has just as much blood on her hands as dubya did because of his refusal to enforce the borders and immigration law. And that’s a LOT of blood.
“I would site that in WWII they were many heros with different persuasions (British and American) what does it matter except to win the war?
Who were they? Did you know that the military of that time was vast, and barely screened, and that the great majority were draftees? Even the Marines, Navy, and Coast Guard had almost 2 million draftees, the Army was 93% draftee.”
I do know that...in fact most of my aunts and uncle worked in the various theaters...one uncle died in France...it was the need of the hour...people supporting their county against the enemy...
Your point is taken...thank you for expressing it...
My post was about "ganga" vs "Ganja".
yeppers! :)
Ping!
BS.... she distinguishes between the law and the debate....
“...she’s apparently morphed into Hillary.”
She’s making Hillary look centrist by comparison.
Absolutely right.
“Well, not necessarily, I mean I think we have to have immigration laws and that’s just a really important part of it. It’s just that the debate about immigration laws, about Arizona’s law in targeting someone, a group of people, and this is not new in American history ...”
It’s the incompetent in the WH (who WON’t take sufficient Federal action at the border, lib pols and pundits,
union thugs/ACORN thugs who are despicably purposely fomenting this civil strife.
I’ve never seen such a lowdown, dirty, unstatesmanlike and irresponsible president, who would actually inspire and encourage these conflicts among the citizenry for purely political reasons. He is the lowest of the low.
Sounding more and more like she ran the White House!
and you are seeing the world through Bush hatred glasses ...all politicians want the vote of as many people as they can get ...they dont want to destroy the relationship with the entire hispanic culture ...If people want to talk about anything, talk about the law and keeping dangerous criminals from crossing the border ...that is what the issue is about ...It could be about dangerous Canadian criminals as well
(I live in New Mexico ) I am a minority here.(white)......I know a little about the subject
Your immigrant family and mine came in a different time, things were much different then. The came in legally, many were poor, yet they did not expect America to GIVE them anything except an opportunity.
They expected to WORK and not be taken care of by the efforts of other peoples work.
I am just bored with your argument, you may stop it now, please.
Based on the reaction of people here, Obama and the left are doing a good job of inspiring hatred
They were illiterate but legal.
P.S. Mrs. Bush. I was going to purchase you new book, but due to your recent remarks on the subject of immigration laws in AZ., I have re-considered.
it’s official. The bushies are member of the New World Order, like the odumbo. Besides, anything to protect the mexican in-laws in the family. They are offically democrat lite.
Looks like Laura Bush is on a liberal, ass-kissing roll.....supports gay marriage, pro-choice, Elena Kagan for SCOTUS and now sounds out on the AZ law that simply codifies Federal law onto the AZ books. The Bush women strike another blow against American conservatives & patriots.
