Because it is the American thing to do?

If so, you probably have a good idea of how that went over, right?

And her stance on the Central American refugees will be a big part of that.

You don't do that to our kids and expect to get our votes.

She cannot play to both the "I fear illegal aliens" constituent and the minority community without eventually getting called out for it.

A real low moment in the debate

And her supporters keep on holding her up as someone who has always supported women and children. Just not all of them, I guess.

they are and what language they speak. I have not seen her advocating throwing cluster bomb bits around here in white areas, nor did I see any cluster bomb-lets on the White house lawn during the Easter egg hunts she attended in the nineties, yet they make perfect toys for brown kids in other countries in her eyes.

To be honestly frank, I honestly wonder if those refugee children had been running away from some predators underground lair in Nebraska or some other American State and were white, if she would have advocated sending them back to the predator as "a strong message" to children's parents not to let their children be kidnapped by strange men in windowless vans.

I am not saying she is evil, but the truth is some of the things she has advocated for are, as are some of the things she supported or asked to be done (specifically as SOS), some of that stuff was pure evil that only a Kissinger could applaud.

one day we are PoC, the other we are white.

And when one has had her own identity as a minority treated that well by other PoC, (some who post here) one gets an insight on how the Clinton campaign thinks about my compadres and comadres.
