Trump’s pick for ICE director: I can tell which migrant children will become gang members by looking into their eyes

By TED HESSON 05/16/2019 03:37 PM EDT

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.”

The comment surfaced Thursday as part of a broader review of Morgan's public utterances by HuffPost. The outlet found Morgan notched nearly 100 television and radio appearances after a series of interviews with Tucker Carlson.

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.

Just when I think I've reached my outrage quota for the day, some vile trump asshole makes me add one more to the list.

[TreasonousBastard]

1. With all the news about and pressure on MS-13, the 18th St. gang is growing by...

leaps and bounds around here. So are the Bloods, hoping to profit off the mess. Whole buncha White Pride types and a few Hell's Angels and Breed trying to stay off the radar, too.

This asshole has no idea what he's talking about.

2. It's not a club. It's the only way to survive for some.

Just like anyone else who works for Trump, Morgan is an idiot.

[backtoblue]

3. He gonna send them to the left or right line too?

[tblue37]

4. And W could see Putin's soul by looking into his eyes. (And, of course, Palin could see Russia

from her house.)

These Republicans have the most discerning eyesight!

[spanone]

5. Judge, Jury and Executioner. FUCK YOU MORGAN

[Hekate]

6. Sure, those kids immediately check two of his boxes: brown and male. So he just knows.

[defacto7]

7. Flash- Crystal ball sales are hitting the ceiling! Get yours while supplies last!

[Dirty Socialist]

8. Star Trek Episode

This reminds me of the old Star Trek episode when they went to the Nazi planet. The nazi official saw Spock and someone remarked "you're the expert here. What do you think of this one?"
"Low forehead. Obviously the sign of an inferior species. Notice they eyes; the dull look of a trapped animal." At this point, Spock raised an eyebrow.
More pseudo-science from a racist "expert"

[Initech]

9. That might be one of the single most racist things I've ever heard on Fox News.

And that's saying a lot!

Oops I mean psycho.
