There have been a few countries that have put out travel warnings on going to the USA (for reasons unrelated to this thread). Perhaps Canada will put up some markings for the safety of the people on their side of the border; when it comes to accidental crossings there appear to be a lot of people in the USA that can lack in compassion.
And were you forced to go on a Boy Scout campout or a fishing weekend by ICE officers or did you go of your own free will? That would be the difference.
No doubt you think that you are very clever for having all these different ways of insulting people at your fingertips, and no doubt you think that you are a very superior sort of person because if you were to be arrested by ICE officers, separated from your family, transported to the other side of the continent, and kept in horrible conditions it would be water off a duck’s back. Insulting people like this is a way of denying the reality or the legitimacy of their own experiences and feelings.
Actually, the most severe traumas that people experience are often the ones that we go through very early in life, especially during the period before we have the verbal skills to conceptualise our experiences.I’m betting that the 3 month old child won’t even remember it let alone be traumatized for life because of it.
That’s a little harder with there being a large body of water separating the two.
No, I think I would be pretty mad. But it wouldn’t traumatize me for life. I’d get over it.
And some more about their “Boy Scout Camp”:
Illegal entry, according to this second link.
This is very uncharitable.
If I am taking a baby on a weekend camping trip, I ensure that baby is well provided for. There is a big difference. Do you really believe a mother describing sleeping on the floor and not wanting to put her young infant on the floor to sleep in an extremely cold setting is what camping is all about?

I suspect it has more to do with the phony press accounts exaggerating conditions than the race of the detainees. “Fool me once…”
This is actually not uncommon. Lots of govt facilities actually have rules about when they turn on the heat for the winter and when they turn on AC for the summer.
I think this is alluded to in 1 Maccabees.
Do other government facilities host overnight guests in 50-degree temperatures under tin blankets?
I didn’t flag it, but I’m guessing for name-calling.
Even more interesting. https://whyy.org/articles/british-f...ill-be-traumatized-for-the-rest-of-our-lives/
It looks like the couple also received a veiled threat to get their newborn baby snatched away from them.
Interesting indeed. Also from the same article:Xystus:

This is starting to get REAL interesting. The U.S. detains them, they’re portrayed as innocent, but Canada won’t allow the back in? Something smells funky about this.
