Laura Bush Sucks

In 2011, Laura Bush advocated for the separation of children from families.

LAURA BUSH PSA

Texas CASA produces and distributes public service announcements (PSAs) for television and radio to assist programs in their efforts to raise awareness about CASA and to recruit more volunteers to serve more children in care.

The PSAs are available for CASA programs to use in their outreach and recruitment efforts. CASA programs are encouraged to download the spots and ask their local media outlets to play the spots.


In 2018, she forgot what she said in 2011.

Laura Bush sucks.

Laura Bush is a former first lady of the United States.

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.

You had no problem advocating for children being removed from families and put up for adoption when your people set up complex fraud schemes in NGO child welfare organizations in Texas to hustle and launder money.

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.

How come you do not speak upon your advocacy of removing children from families?

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 diseaseor die prematurely than those who were not interned.

Uh, it is called child welfare law.  This is foster care and adoption, domestic and international policies which advocate revenue maximization of human chattel, or, in this instance, the trafficking of tiny humans.

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.

You could not spell the word moral if you life depended on it.  You have never once spoken upon privatization of child welfare, which was implemented by your father in law.

People on all sides agree that our immigration system isn’t working, but the injustice of zero tolerance is not the answer. I moved away from Washington almost a decade ago, but I know there are good people at all levels of government who can do better to fix this.

You advocated zero tolerance with CASA.

Recently, Colleen Kraft, who heads the American Academy of Pediatrics, visited a shelter run by the U.S. Office of Refugee Resettlement. She reported that while there were beds, toys, crayons, a playground and diaper changes, the people working at the shelter had been instructed not to pick up or touch the children to comfort them. Imagine not being able to pick up a child who is not yet out of diapers.

Imagine you child is snatch in the middle of the night to be thrown into an empty CPS office, to sleep on the floor, hoping to get a peanut butter sandwich for their daily meal, as the worker desperately searches for a foster care placement where the child will be engage in the first stage of a life of hell.

Twenty-nine years ago, my mother-in-law, Barbara Bush, visited Grandma’s House, a home for children with HIV/AIDS in Washington. Back then, at the height of the HIV/AIDS crisis, the disease was a death sentence, and most babies born with it were considered “untouchables.” During her visit, Barbara — who was the first lady at the time — picked up a fussy, dying baby named Donovan and snuggled him against her shoulder to soothe him. My mother-in-law never viewed her embrace of that fragile child as courageous. She simply saw it as the right thing to do in a world that can be arbitrary, unkind and even cruel. She, who after the death of her 3-year-old daughter knew what it was to lose a child, believed that every child is deserving of human kindness, compassion and love.

Laura, darling, you do know they were running biomedical testing on those foster kids with HIV/AIDS?

In 2018, can we not as a nation find a kinder, more compassionate and more moral answer to this current crisis? I, for one, believe we can.

As soon as we do asset forfeiture on your NGOs that traffic tiny humans.
