Illegal Immigration, Internment Camps, and Useful Idiots

Laura Bush needs a remedial course in history and immigration policy.

The Bush family has a famously adversarial relationship with English. It became clear this week that at least one of them is also illiterate where U.S. history and immigration policy are concerned. This was demonstrated when former First Lady Laura Bush took to the pages of the Washington Post to denounce President Trump for enforcing a statute signed into law by her own husband, George W. Bush. Even worse, she compared the HHS facilities where the children of illegal immigrants are briefly housed to the infamous internment camps where Democrat icon FDR imprisoned 110,000 American citizens of Japanese descent.

This comparison not only played into the hands of the very Democrats and partisan journalists who remorselessly savaged both her and her husband for eight solid years, it is wildly inaccurate. Mrs. Bush clearly knows very little about the plight of children caught up in the illegal immigration crisis, and even less about the internment camps she so glibly evoked. It’s blindingly obvious that she has been suckered by the propaganda relentlessly pumped out by the “news” media, completely taken in by their lurid images of wailing children and “cruel” DHS officials. Laura Bush has thus become just another useful idiot.

We were told the reason the Bushes said nothing for 8 years had something to do with being “above that” or some crap. Sorry i ever fell for it.

1. Re: the now famous picture: As a mother of four, when I saw the picture I immediately knew that this was a “tantrum” cry, not a “pleading for my mother” cry. Most mothers will recognize it as such, imo.

2. I have a simple solution that would save Americans millions and millions of dollars. A one time “get out of jail free card”. If we would simply, once we catch people coming in illegally, fingerprint them and drive them back to the border and make sure they cross back into Mexico. Tell them, we aren’t going to procecute this time, but we have your fingerprints. If you come in again, it will be a felony. This would deter all but the worst criminals from coming here illegally, and save us millions.
