What does that even mean?
She's racist by default no matter what she does or says simply by working in a "racist system"?
The comments turn to "tearing families apart" at the border. [nothing to see here - oh look - here's something shiny]
That could be used as an excuse for anyone with a similar accusation levied against them.
I also love how they refer to illegal immigrants as simply immigrants or migrants or 'foreign born'. I have never yest seen a main stream media outlet use the work illegal or refer to the ADDITIONAL crimes that are committed, such as child/human trafficking, drugs, assaults, theft, rape and murder.
I did hear one, to their credit, admit that Trump has deported far less than the last four presidents. Of course, they said it as a negative in that Trump was not fulfilling his campaign promise. Much of this fall to the immigration policy that congress refuses to do anything about except complain, vilify, assign blame and volatile rhetoric. They might trot out an individual situation - who only wants a part of the American dream and to live in peace, without fear and take care of their family. Then it's "My grandmother was an immigrant" or "We should all be deported since we are all immigrants." "This is America and we don't tear apart families" (which, in fact, we do when we sent CRIMINALS to jail/prison).
Again, the word "ILLEGAL" rarely, if ever, enters the conversation.
I would ask anyone who complains about the situation - which is horrific - and ask, "What is your solution?"
