Reply #9: Maybe the country was always like this, but

I thought Democrats were the protectors of human rights. This country's treatment of human beings, mostly powerless people, is a disgrace on so many levels.

ICE's record of abuse, including torture and murder, should make any civilized country stop and review what they are doing. But as far as I know, no one has ever been prosecuted for the deaths of nearly 100 (that we know of) immigrants in the custody of ICE. If we have so little regard for those lives, how can this country dare critize, as it has, other countries for their human rights abuses?

But judging by the tepid reaction to torture, even the justifications from 'progressives', it's hard to expect much compassion for anyone, unless they are rich and powerful.
