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


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 his 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.

since age is an artificial construct to them. They think people from other countries grow up faster than Americans because they live harder lives.

That is how the genius found him, he saw though his eyes and immediately knew he was just like him, a corrupt SOB.

They have been caged, they have been separated from their parents, if they look at you with hate then just think a little, without having your head explode, and you will find out that there is no reason for them to look at you with gratitude or welcoming eyes.

What an imbecile this guy is.

"Just by looking in his eyes."

A child may be raised to go the way of his parents. I'll buy that. But a child is able to become anything, regardless of his parents, if he is exposed to goodness and steered that way. The possibilities are endless.

No child is doomed. A HORRIBLE thing to say about a child.

in a detention facility he had thrown me into and stared into my eyes, I might consider becoming a gang member, too, because the alternative of becoming like him and his Dear Leader is too disgusting to contemplate.

Mark Morgan should learn to taste the difference between regular migrant toddler poop and MS-13 migrant toddler poop. This test is far more accurate than eye exams.
