So, my wife used to work in the emergency room of a big hospital so she was around Doctors all the time. And she noted how callous they appeared towards patients. Often joking about them dying or how many times certain patients make trips to the hospital for the same reason over and over again, implying they're too stupid to learn to just not eat red meat so much, among other things.
She asked some of the nurses about it and they said that when you're surrounded by death every day, it becomes a defense mechanism to dehumanize the patients so that you aren't wrought with grief over the constant death and despair you witness as part of your regular job.
That seems to be similar to what is happening here.
Not that that is an excuse for their behavior, but I do think there's reasoning behind it.
The stuff about AOC and other Democrats is purely because of how much Trump has politicized the border.
It's tragic that they see immigrants this way though.
