From NYT article today, Border Patrol Facilities Put Detainees With Medical Conditions at Risk:

.....Representative Raul Ruiz, a Democrat from California who is also a physician, helped secure funding for additional measures to improve migrant health after visiting border facilities where he said he saw children coughing and sneezing and infants without diapers, all packed tightly into cells with little in the way of food, soap and other basics....

...“Border Patrol is a law enforcement agency. It’s not a humanitarian agency,” said Dr. Alexander L. Eastman, a senior medical officer with the Homeland Security Department who is trying to put into place, for the first time, a comprehensive approach to the care of migrants across the department.

Some health care workers said they have seen Border Patrol agents in the field prioritize enforcement of immigration laws over migrants’ urgent medical needs. Ambulance crews near the border say they sometimes face delays at Border Patrol checkpoints.

The NYT article reported facts on the ground from California to Texas.  It had quotes and some opinions from health care workers and Immigration officers or officials. The reporters themselves expressed no opinion.

In the manner of good journalism, it reported "what is happening and where it is happening, not telling readers what to think about it."

That terse description of reporting was mentioned by the renown  AP foreign correspondent Robert St. John in his 1942 book, From the Land of Silent People, on his escape from the Nazi onslaught across the Balkans and Greece.

Like "good Germans" many Americans don't want to hear reporting about what is going on in their nation, and in their names by their government. Many don't care at all about the treatment of people seeking asylum.

The top article comments tout the Wall as the "solution". Many are merciless in their indifference for these people who have left conditions few Americans have ever experienced or could imagine.

To those who don't want to read what is going on in this country, a government that treats people in official custody with malice, neglect or disdain, that government may next be treating you the same way (if it isn't already). Abusing, blaming or hating others won't make your life better.  Sheri Fink and Caitlin Dickerson were reporters doing their jobs.

Excerpts from top comments at the article:

So a wall is immoral but the catastrophic consequences of a porous and chaotic southern border are not?

...sorry but it seems to me that the illegal immigrants are putting themselves at risk. Period...

Assuming that these are illegal aliens or, more likely, asylum scammers, this amounts to 800,000 per year....his isn't a crisis? We don’t need a wall?

If the Times spent a fraction of the attention it focuses on the plight of "migrants" instead on the plight of Americans, there might be some balance. 

Build the wall now!!!!!!

Build the Wall and then regulate immigration so that all Immigrants are legal and have the right to Minimum Wage and safe working conditions.

Are you required to give medical care to someone who breaks into your house and then gets injured in doing it???
