Isn’t that evidence that the system needs to be reformed so that people, the border agents aren't put in that position so that people coming into this country aren't put in that position, that there’s a humane way to enter the country without people having to possibly come in to contact with people on horses and so on and so forth.

That's the definition of systemic, whatever it is. Systemic racism, systemic whatever. It's built into the system. The system is created or set up in a way that it isn't fair to anyone, really,” he sneered.
