Outrage Fatigue



It must be tough constantly pretending to be outraged about legal, humane treatment of people you actually don't care about at all.

Fun fact: International law requires you to seek asylum status immediately upon leaving the country you claim is too dangerous for you to inhabit. Article 31, 1951 UN Convention on Refugees.

Although everyone has the right to seek asylum, there is no right to have that status granted to you.

No civilized nation puts children in the "general population" of an adult detention center (or jail or prison). That would be cruel.
