    Oh I get that. I'm for legal immigration, it's the illegal kind I am vehemently against. With Biden they can dash across the border and yell "Ollie Ollie Oxen free!! and get to stay.

    Looks to me like he caught himself in yet another Indian American gaffe and corrected it.

    You understand there's a little thing called diversity out there that corporation are fighting against? I'm sure they'll all qualified, but its calculated that so many have installed minority CEOs. Having a white man at the helm is social media DEATH, unless he's whipping himself every day apologizing for his whiteness like Twitter's CEO=) Somehow our country became the leader of the world in everything with white people mostly in charge. Now that's BAD. Also, putting a minority in charge creates a buffer of scrutiny. There is less chance of that CEO being attacked, for actions, they're not actually making. With a white male in charge, its easy to eviscerate the company. Its ALL calculated and strategic.

    Trump adopted policy that was literally intended to torture children as a way to dissuade them from seeking refugee status. In the legal definition of "torture".

    We have run through this before. What's your purpose in asking again?

    Torture is a strong word. How did Trump torture them? Is torture not clothing, feeding and giving citizenship to ANYONE who just happens to CHOOSE to show up on the border unidentified, penniless and with little grasp of English?

    You said "Trump actually tortured the children of refugees?".

    Show us where Trump adopted a policy which was literally intended to torture children. I know that is the way the left likes to spin it that way. But show us where he said that?
    Because I like to see you squirm.

    President Trump separated children from their parents and incarcerated them in fenced in areas inside buildings. Have you forgotten his "zero tolerance policy?"

    You can call it a gaffe, but at no point does there appear to be any disparaging remarks towards Indian Americans, even if you exclude all remarks made after the fact

    By forcefully separating children from their parents under the color of law specifically intended to inflict severe mental pain or suffering (other than pain or suffering incidental to lawful sanctions) upon another person within his custody or physical control;

    Not just the children were tortured. Also the parents. But torturing children is an act that is particularly abominable.

    Anybody who supports or tolerates these actions should be considered morally complicit

    A lot of our doctors locally are Pakistani. The India folks are more the hoteliers.

    So, in other words without the left leaning slant, Trump neither tortured children or ordered anyone to torture children.

    The quoted paragraph is an example of torture as defined in our legal code.

    But you're going to refuse to believe your own "lyin' eyes", of course.

    So... thanks for playing.

    The choice was to put the children in with an adult population or release them all.. Which is usually not a healthy environment for the children. A procedure which the coyotes understood very well.

    Trump would have told they to go back to where they came from. Now that is real racism

    If you ignore everything else that Biden says and only pay attention when you think he's tripped up and revealed a secret agenda through some kind of Freudian slip.

    How much have you read from Biden on race in America?

    No, you making stuff up about what other people would do based on your own bias against them is not 'real racism'. It is similar though...

    I don't think torture is too "healthy" for them either. Besides... it's illegal. Not to mention immoral.
