Maryland county seeking lawyers for the ‘unaccompanied children;’ Catholic Charities spearheading the effort
I expect this is going on in the at least 124 locations where some of the 58,000 illegal alien children ended up in America this year alone!
From the Gazette:
Montgomery County Executive Ike Leggett calls for attorneys to step up for the ‘children.’
Unaccompanied minors in Montgomery County who left Central America urgently need pro bono lawyers to help them stay in the U.S., county officials and area organization leaders said.
Montgomery County Executive Isiah Leggett said Monday at a press conference that the county cannot turn the minors away and needs attorneys “to help us help them.”
“We need to act and we need to act in an urgent manner,” he said to a room that included about 20 lawyers interested in taking on the task.
The children and their guardians need lawyers to help them navigate legal processes that could lead to a green card or a status that will help children stay in the U.S. and away from hardships they fled.
There are nearly 1,200 unaccompanied minors in the county, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Refugee Resettlement.
They say they are going for a determination in most cases that involve abuse the “children” got at home (Special Immigrant Juveniles Status) and not asylum. So I guess all the teenager has to say is that Mom or Dad beat him up (most are teenaged boys) and he gets to live in America!
Read on and know that Catholic Charities is funded through your tax dollars for their legal work! They got Obama Money! ...
