Human rights abuses are A-ok but don’t you dare disturb one water lily.
Did you know that there are mountains and deserts in Central and South America?
Seems odd to camp in a swamp in August. Mosquitoes carry disease and hurricanes are dangerous. Did your camp have overflowing toilets?
I did. Did you know that everyone who walked to the southern border to enter the country illegally spent a lot of time walking through places that were very hot, humid, and buggy?
That's just another way of saying that you don't know anything about the area. It's perfectly normal to camp, fish and hunt there in all seasons, and there's nothing uniquely dangerous about the region.
No, I thought many of them walked through land that was dry and dusty, so this is news to me.
Totally; I've never been to Florida.
Oddly, part of the PR for Alligator Alcatraz is that it is uniquely dangerous with crocodiles, alligators and poisonous snakes not to mention the all too common disease carrying mosquitos and tics. Huh, that was all a pretty lie? The bayous and Gulf Coast of Texas had some of that, but no crocodiles. But you're saying that Southern California, New Mexico and Arizona are just like the Florida swamp? Yeah, that's news to me.
It hasn't been a lifetime of air conditioning for me, so I surely do appreciate that I have it now, but heat compounded with humidity can kill. This is a problem for guards as well as prisoners. I have had a lifetime of decent, edible food and mostly working toilets and I do find the lack to be inhumane.

They went through places like that too. Heat index is high all over the place down there, and the way to handle it has been understood for thousands of years. It's nothing new, and it's not inhumane.
"Just like"? I said nothing of the sort.
How ever then did anyone survive such a place before they invented air conditioning? Heck, we didn't have a/c in the house at all until I was in junior high, so I guess my grandparents, my parents and I are all dead.
You sound like you've never been outside.
Hey, if you keep saying that kind of stuff, you could find yourself with a lucrative lobbying job for the EV battery industry.
I grew up without air-conditioning and remember some miserable summers at times, especially when with family in St. Louis when elderly folks were dying from the heat. Then spent about 40+ years in AZ including being outside in 120, and live at least half of the year in Belize, which has a climate similar to Florida.
This reminds me of the folk who insisted that waterboarding wasn't torture because college students sometimes voluntarily submitted to hazing (disregarding that occasional deaths is the reason its illegal).
Well you certainly implied it when you said that everyone who crossed the southern border all experienced the conditions found in the Florida swap even though many people cross the western part of the southern border where it is not in the least swampy.
Okay, not disputing that.
Did you miss the part that this is how Alligator Alcatraz was marketed to the public? This, then, is so what.
In a similar vein, how did anyone survive the Black Death that killed a third of the European population at its height? Some people died, so everyone must have died!!

Looky there - a superb combo of personal attack and straw man! That's impressive.
Another silly personal attack.
