'Manifest': Fans express outrage over the treatment of 'foreign nationals' on the show

Manifest has been praised for its broad spectrum which includes characters from all backgrounds, however, it erred by forgetting to take care of its diverse cast.
UPDATED NOV 9, 2018

NBC's Jeff Rake-directed show, 'Manifest', has given fans little reasons to complain. With its inclusive nature and strong storyline, the show has been quite perfect for the millennial audience. However, it seemed to have erred in the sixth episode which aired on November 5 where 11 foreign nationals were held captive by a dubious group of scientists who were seen doing some kind of experiment on them. 

Fans find it odd that none of the foreign nationals were looked out for, and it was claimed that they are the homeless ones who literally have nowhere to go. Fans find it hard to believe. One Reddit user mentioned, "Come on Manifest, “no one would miss” foreign nationals???? Just cause they aren’t US Citizens??? Do you know how much foreign governments would be clamoring to get fucking time traveling citizens back??? To assume cause they are foreign no one cares. Idiotic." Several followers commented claiming that it is almost unrealistic that even their country would want them back.
