Stop the biased reports on immigration

It is simply amazing how the Daily Herald has portrayed the illegal immigration problem in this country and especially the plight of illegal children brought here with and without their parents.

In an article on the front page of the June 20 edition the headline read "A pediatrician's look inside facility for migrant children."

Those children are technically illegal since they were not born in this country. Your reporter Marni Pyke's first paragraph quoted the pediatrician who said these children faced frozen sandwiches, 24/7 lighting and ceiling-high metal fencing. However, it is not until the second paragraph that it is revealed that the doctor visited the facility in 2016. I think Barack Obama was president at that time.

The doctor says for children to lose their parents under such conditions is "profoundly stressful" and "can adversely affect the health and well-being of children."

I wonder what these children ate and where they slept on their journey. Did the parents worry about the consequences of their actions?

In the interest of being unbiased, which the Daily Herald is supposed to be, it would be good to run a headline stating how much better illegal children and migrants are treated in this country and how they are treated in any other country in the world. We have a great many people in this country that are very compassionate and most of them are ordinary people, not people that just talk about it.
