Refugees do have rights, and signatory states have obligations under the 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees and as amended in the 1967 Protocol Relating to the Status of Refugees. The U.S. is signatory to the convention and protocol. And also the 1980 Refugee Act applies in the U.S.A.

I don't want to argue there are no violations of rights occurring at all. That's an extraordinarily improbable stance to hold.

But if you don't see something different about illegal immigrants detained in America, and what China is known to do... Then there's simply something morally wrong with you.
