Vice President Joseph R. Biden appealed to legal scholars and immigration advocates Wednesday to provide legal representation for thousands of illegal immigrant children in the U.S., saying the administration’s effort to handle a new surge of deportation cases “is going to be really hard.”
“We need lawyers,” Mr. Biden said in a meeting at the White House. “This is going to be really hard. It was hard before. But this backlog [of cases] has continued to pile up.”
About half of the more than 50,000 children from Central America who have immigrated illegally to the U.S. since last fall don’t have lawyers to represent them in deportation proceedings. Mr. Biden told the audience of about 60 pro-immigration advocates that the administration needs lawyers to help with the “hard decisions” of whether the children deserve to stay in the U.S.
“We need trained lawyers to determine whether or not these kids meet the criteria for refugee status and/or whether or not they are in such jeopardy if they don’t gain at least continued safety and security that they’re going to be sent to something that will [cause] their physical demise,” he said.

Why do we need laywers ?
Cut and dry cases of illegal entry
The president and vice president are the ones who need lawyers.
Can they not understand that these people are illegal! No lawyers needed. I just can't understand how Democrats can be so stupid.
Wished he would look out for you and me like that......
The why not stop them BEFORE this problem occurs? Like at the border, where they should not have been allowed to pass. FFS, we need term limits, and contracts for these clowns. You aren't representing your constituents? You're fired. Biden is a boob.
I read an article the other day that stated that 25% of elected Democrats are on medication for mental problems. The scary part is that there are 75% of them that are going untreated.
Why do you suppose that this news fabrication has Joe Biden, the do nothing vice president's name on it? Because the elections are coming and the democrats have done nothing but ENCOURAGE EVERY ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT in the world, not just South America, to cross our borders for the entire 7 long miserable years of the Liberal Experimental politics/policies forced down our throats by ALL Democrats Only. This story is an OUTRIGHT premeditated LIE just like the majority of Democratic policies, constantly circumventing/ignoring current immigration laws now on the books in America. Traitors,
Pathetic.
Folks you must wake up eventually.
The America you once knew and loved is gone.
Got it? It is gone. It doesn't exist any longer.
You now live under the rules of a Corporation founded in Paris France. You are an Employee.
You have certain "rights" as Employees. You have many "obligations" as Employees.
The Government gets EXACTLY what it wants, when it wants it. Always.
