'So a remark that a Latino Border Patrol agent “speaks perfect English” will seem to many people to be more patronizing racism from a president who has repeated problems seeing nonwhite Americans as Americans. '
'Most politicians would probably hesitate before using a stock line about speaking “perfect English” to refer to a visibly Latino agent with a Spanish surname. '
'Anzaldua does, of course, speak perfect English. '
'He’s the agent who discovered 78 immigrants locked in the hold of a refrigerated truck in Laredo, Texas, in April. '
'In the middle of telling his story, Trump decided to invite Anzaldua up to speak for himself. '
