Why are you commenting here? Just to troll?
I vote far left actually. I just happen to have empathy for everyone caught up in the US regime. Which you pretty clearly don't have. You could just as easily say that Central and South Americans chose to go to the US in search of a better life. However, that would obviously be fluffing psychotic.
Edit: Also this is news coverage in a New Zealand community, on a New Zealand site, by a New Zealand news service, because she's a New Zealander. Her being white doesn't have anything to do with it, and I imagine the coverage would be the same if she were, say, Maori. Don't conflate a lack of American news coverage of child detention in America, with an entirely different country prioritising news about its own citizens.
Like I've said already, I'm not from NZ but am merely a cousin from across the ditch. Far left in Australia means the Socialists and Greens. Seems you'd criticise me for putting the centre-left Labor party next on my ballot, but you do need to number all the boxes for your vote to count! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
If you know so little about the country, why don't you bugger off someplace else? Instead of making up spurious claims. In any case, I'm not going to bother with replying to you further, but you have a great day, okay?
