U.S. Border Patrol is holding some asylum-seekers in “an open-air holding cell between the two layers of border wall . . . with no shelter, no food and minimal water” for days, Kate Morrissey reports for the San Diego Union-Tribune. “There are no rights for humans now,” said a former Afghan translator for the U.S. Army. “They treat us like dogs, like animals.”  (bold added).  Read the article for much investigation and detail about U.S. treatment of asylum seekers at the U.S./Mexico border.

Food for thought.
