Claiming that as many as half of the illegal immigrant children flooding across the border may have legitimate cases to stay in America, House Democrats introduced legislation Monday to give them taxpayer-funded lawyers to maximize their chances of not being deported.
Reps. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), Karen Bass (D-CA), Lucille Roybal-Allard (D-CA), and Judy Chu (D-CA) introduced the Vulnerable Immigrant Voice Act of 2014 (VIVA), which "would provide appointed legal counsel for unaccompanied minors and disabled individuals during immigration proceedings."
"Some of the children who have come to this country may not have a valid legal basis to remain, but some will," Jeffries said. "Yet, it is virtually impossible for a child to assert a valid claim under immigration law in the absence of legal representation... It is a fantasy to believe that unrepresented children have a fair shot in an immigration proceeding.”

So this is why I have a real job? to support THIS?
send every senator and Congressman who vote in support of that bill back with the ILLEGAL immigrants...
This is a gross misappropriation of tax payers money. They are illegal they should have no rights. The illegals have more rights now than American citizens do. This is ridiculous but the liberals keep giving away our money to illegals every time.
Democrats looking out for Democrats and the hell with what American taxpayers think.
I am sick and tired of Democrats wasting my money on illegals.
When is the first shot going to be fired?
Civil War is looming!
