He’s looked at their eyes, Tucker
Holy shit.
Mark Morgan, the White House choice to lead Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said during a Fox News interview earlier this year that he can judge the likelihood that an unaccompanied minor will become a gang member by looking into that child’s eyes.
“I’ve been to detention facilities where I’ve walked up to these individuals that are so-called minors, 17 or under,” Morgan said on “Tucker Carlson Tonight” in January. “I’ve looked at them and I’ve looked at their eyes, Tucker — and I’ve said that is a soon-to-be MS-13 gang member. It’s unequivocal.”
That knocked the breath out of me for a second. It’s staggering. It’s worthy of Göbbels.
The view that unaccompanied minors are more likely to become criminals is unsupported by statistical evidence. Studies have shown immigrants — legal and undocumented — are less likely to commit crimes than native-born Americans.
Sanaa Abrar, advocacy director with the pro-migrant United We Dream, said Morgan’s remark reflects the Trump administration’s broader efforts to target immigrant youth.
And their inclination to see them as monstrous, and to try to convince us of that horrible distortion too.
Morgan’s comment echoed statements by President Donald Trump. During an event last year in Long Island, N.Y., Trump said unaccompanied minors “look so innocent,” but aren’t in reality.
If you want true evil all you have to do is look at President Donald Trump.
Walter Shaub has it right.
This is so despicable that I can't think of words strong enough to do it justice. The word "evil" doesn't always pack the punch it should, but if you stop and think about what true "evil" would look like, it seems to me the words written below from Mark Morgan fit the bill. https://t.co/d3q6i81RlF

Amerika, buh-bye.
This is obviously a talent that American officials have been developing since Bush II looked into Putin’s soul.
It would save Trump a lot of time if Morgan’s powers of divination were used to screen his staff and cabinet picks, as so many of them, according to Trump, end up turning into dumb, talentless people after a few months on the job. I’m sure that this is something that could easily be determined in advance by looking into their vacant, soulless eyes.
Mark Morgan has clearly missed his time. He could have had a big career as an inquisitor in Torquemada’s Spain, or as counsel for the prosecution in Salem Mass. 1692-3..
So-called minors? So, they’re not actual minors. They’re just pre-criminals.
He’s a witch. Burn him.
Doesn’t even need a dowsing rod.
And the minute that one of them does commit a crime, this single data point becomes proof positive that they are all criminals to those in America who are statistically uninformed. Which is the bulk of the population.
