Julian Castro: Tom Homan Shows You the ‘Dark Heart ... of Cruelty’ that He and the Trump Administration Folks Have for Migrants
EXCERPT:
CASTRO: "You know, I didn’t agree much with him, but George W. Bush, when he was governor of Texas, used to say that family values don’t end — don’t stop at the Rio Grande, meaning that these were families that were coming to the United States trying to leave desperate conditions, lack of safety, trying to flee for violence, sometimes hunger. So these are parents that are trying to do the right thing for their children and for their family. They’re doing it out of love. They’re not picking up and leaving and moving somewhere thousands of miles away just on a whim. So for Tom Homan to say that, I think just — it just shows you, again, the heart of cruelty, the dark heart that he and the Trump Administration folks have for these migrants. They like to dehumanize them. And the way that he speaks there is also very clinical and bureaucratic, disconnected from the real life of these people, of these human beings. So I think that what we are in for is we’re in for cruelty part two in this administration."
