Equality For Who?

“With liberty and justice to all”. A common line said weekly by millions of Americans every week, but in a article I just read about the treatment of immigrants in the Arizona detention center this was not the case. These women were denied proper health care for minor to serious diseases. In response to these allegations, director of removal in Arizona Katrina Kane stated “Reports such as this, while alleging to be unbiased, do great harm to the public’s understanding of the complex issues involved in immigration law enforcement”. Although this is true, there is overwhelming proof that the Arizona detention center has been lacking health care and treatment. A example of this is women that was complaining of stomach pains and for a treatment the Arizona staff told her to “watch her died and exercise”. Three months later this women was taken to the hospital where the doctors reported she had cyst that was as big as a five month old fetus. This is a problem that even a nation of equality has to suffer and it will be up to the country as a whole to resolve this problem.
