William Lindsey :toad:"This rivals the family separation policy of the first Trump administration for sheer inhumanity. But it also harms Americans in very real ways. Who will want to study or come work here in this climate? Just one example, nearly 25% of practicing doctors in the United States are international medical graduates, demonstrates how this harms our own future prospects."<a href="https://toad.social/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Trump</a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/ICE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ICE</a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/immigrants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#immigrants</a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/cruelty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#cruelty</a> /3

William Lindsey :toad:"We can make an educated guess.
