This is one of those Admiral Zhao moments where all his political conditioning betrays him. He's confronted by something tragic and awful and he lashes out in a way that makes him look like an asshole. Like he's so entrenched in a position that even the idea that two things can be sad would be a challenge. Even given (and it's a big given) that you don't want people immigrating, seeing a child getting hurt by razor wire can be tragic without all the momentum of thinking it's some kind of trick. A more sound argument is something like "guess his parents shouldn't have been doing that to him" because at least it takes a moment to acknowledge that this shit is awful. At which point you can talk about how juvenile it is to think that they're escaping a Mexico that's just bad like that for no reason, idk lol. His constant exposure to ideas about how great the US is and how bad the rest of the world is has left him lashing out with psychopathy. His statement is so devoid of empathy. He's lost the script.
