Michelle Obama retweeted Bush, adding that \"sometimes truth transcends party.\"
Hillary Clinton also shared Bush's article and said there is no law to support the policy, tweeting that the situation is a \"humanitarian crisis\" and that parents should be \"outraged.\"
Rosalynn Carter also weighed in, calling the policy a disgrace and that she has seen first hand the trauma of separating children from their parents.
