I could never hope to be as cool as a biker. No wonder you know everything.

They definitely aren't doing the best they can.  Racism runs rampant.  Sexual abuse of children, not to mention terrible conditions (despite donations being offered). 

I wonder how you'd react if these were white Christians in say... the UAE being detained in identical conditions.

It's OK to have a different reaction if those swarthy types are the ones behaving badly.

It appears to me that most of the border patrol agents are brown.

More shame them, then.

It's generally a bad idea to hand a job to someone who isn't trained for it. Running detention centers for children is not what the BP is for. What they're for is in the name. It's ultimately the responsibility of Homeland Security, but they're not rained for it either. I wouldn't expect them to make good babysitters, even disregarding the rampant racism displayed by a (mostly white) segment of the Border Patrol (and possibly Homeland Security as well). Still, it's far, far worse than just 'bad babysitting'.

So it's just the white border patrol agents causing the problems.  Maybe if I change my registration to democrat you guys will stop calling me racist.

Likely but even if not even more shame on the non white ones

Nah you would just be a guy who changed parties to aviod being called a racist . Which would simply make the change fake .

I couldn't really do it anyway. I feel sorry for all the white Democrat candidates as they stand on the stage and grovel and apologize for being white.

1. That's not at all what I said, but it does match the degree of honesty I've come to expect from you.
2. Changing your registration to Democrat won't fix what's wrong with you.

Do I think the white BP agents are spouting anti-Hispanic rhetoric more than the Hispanic BP agents. Yes I do. Of course.
