It might not be their fault for breaking the law in the middle of nowhere, but they did still break the law.
Not saying it justifies lack of medical care, I just think you're making an excuse for the wrong "element" of their behavior.
- lazyasciiart 7y agoI have no idea what you think I am making an excuse for, but you're wrong.
- beerandt 7y ago>And it isn't a case of 'well migrants cross the border in the middle of nowhere so it's their fault' You say that fault is attributed (by the public or whoever) due to [illegal im-] migrants crossing in the middle of nowhere... Your counter argument is they mostly didn't cross in the middle of nowhere, so it's not their fault they were transferred to the middle of nowhere. It has nothing to do with where they chose to cross the border illegally, people say it's the migrants own fault because they chose to cross the border illegally, period. You don't get to pick a jail when you're arrested, and you shouldn't be surprised to find out that many US immigration jails are along the southern border in the middle of nowhere. They might not have chosen to cross in the middle of nowhere, yet their choices are still what caused them to end up there. Again, this doesn't justify withholding medical care; you just shouldn't be surprised to end up in jail if you break the law, wherever that jail might be.
