Expressing Bitterness

A Chinese detainee explained to me how a Canadian detainee and his clique had bullied him. They wouldn't let him sit at the table to eat his meals. He doesn't speak any English, so he couldn't communicate with the bullies. All he could do was cuss at them in Chinese. He didn't back down. One thing led to another, and Canadian guy pushed him. The deputies intervened before things escalated into serious violence.

While the Chinese guy expressed his frustrating experience to me, I thought about the suffering immigrants must endure due to language barriers.

It's sad that some immigration detainees feel the need to take advantage of others because they don't speak English. They feel the need to get territorial while they're dealing with deportation.

i can assure you that there is plenty of bitterness in immigration detentions.
