UNACCOMPANIED: Alone in America

Our most urgent need is for funding. Please donate here: www.unaccompaniedchildren.org
100% of your tax deductible donation goes to Immigration Counseling Services (ICS).
Funds will assist with the costs of providing legal counsel, services, and efforts to reunify children and families. Please donate if you can, even the smallest amount can help. We thank you in advance for your generosity.
In recent years the number of unaccompanied immigrant children migrating to the United States has nearly tripled and they have no representation or legal counsel, leaving them vulnerable and alone.
Join us on Facebook : / unaccompaniedchildren
UNACCOMPANIED: Alone in America shows the incredible obstacles young unaccompanied children face when they appear alone, without a lawyer, in immigration proceedings. Help support Immigration Counseling Service's efforts to secure legal representation for every child. Donate at www.unaccompaniedchildren.org/unaccompanied. Because there is no such thing as other people's children..

Obviously illegal immigration and murder is far from close in terms of how badly the broke law is, but it’s still illegal and against the law.

[@jontargaryen2938]

If you think the Democratic party is left-wing, you are ignorant. Go study political ideologies. Bernie Sanders is left-wing (Social-Democrat) and the Democratic party did everything, legal and not so legal, to avoid Bernie from winning the primaries. Finally, the popular vote decided a victory for Hillary Clinton (the lesser of two evils in my point of view), by a margin of 3 million votes. The problem that made the demagogue Trump being elected was his lying but effective campaign and social media that manipulated voters, and a rigged system that excludes millions from having decent living conditions, in a rich but extremely unequal economy. Also, USA IS NOT A DEMOCRACY: (1) because there is an anti-democratic bi-partisan system with lots of "winner takes all" elections; (2) because the economical power (the Neoliberal dream shared by Democrats and Republicans, both radical-right-wing in economic policies) does everything to undermine real left-wing candidates; (3) because only people from the establishment can win elections (Hillary is political establishment, Trump is economical establishment) due to the ammount of sponrs needed because of a lack of public funding and regulations for campaings; (4) because USA has a chamber of Senators for life (a kind of royalty, instead of regular republican elections); (5) because it's possible for a candidate with 25% of the votes to win an election against a candidate with 75% of popular vote; (6) because the establishment (economical and political) control all the midia, and manipulates people's opinion; (7) because USA doesn't have essential human rights (like health care and education) to trully give freedom of choice for everyone (someone that needs to choose between an education or a house, is not free!); (8) and because the Neoliberal politics (economically are radical right-wing, and both Republicans and Democrats do the same since the last 40 years) establish a "trickle-down" economy that ensures only one thing: no class changes - meaning, if you are burn in poverty, you have 99.9% chances of never being capable to change that. THIS IS NOT DEMOCRACY. This is the reason for the revolt against the system. The system has absolutely anything to do with left wing politics. Immigration is not about left-wing, it's about human rights, tolerancy, and civilizational principles. I hope I explained it well enough for you, since english is only my 4th language. Poor me, I had an European education in a state school... now I think I'm gonna go to the state hospital near me and buy some burn treatment for free, because you are in need!

A state appointed lawyer would be arguing with its own state laws. Its not the USA's job to take in unaccompanied minors across the world. Im not from the USA.

[@nidiamarquez3507]

El verdadero problema de la inmigración radica en el egoismo y falta de madurez política de nuestros Gobiernos, nuestros pueblos deben prepararse con buena educación para saber elegir en las urnas a representantes que sean empáticos con el pueblo. Mi amada América Latina, ese es nuestro cáncer. Señor Presidente de los Estados Unidos se entiende que desee el bien de su pueblo, sin embargo no se comporte con crueldad ante estas pequeñas víctimas, llame a mesas de diálogos y escuche otras alternativas de solución sin martirizar a ningún ser humano.

Is this a documentary and if so where can I watch it?

[@carabiner7999]

I found out about it here: www.snopes.com/fact-check/children-immigration-court-deportation-attorney/

[@carabiner7999]

As you see, in the link I provided below, the film is taken from actual court transcripts, with a retired judge playing the part of, (I have to state the obvious, because the level of stupidity in the country baffles me, at times; it's nothing personal, @pinkysteph), well, the judge.

At what point does a human being decide to stand up and say I am not participating in this….. whether it’s a judge or a soldier or law enforcement official! I know that if I was put in a position where I was commanded or asked to physically tear apart an infant child or any child from their family or mother while both are desperately crying to not be separated……I would quit my job right there and standup to what is so clearly inhumane and just plain wrong….. if people participating in the enforcement of these atrocities against children refused to rip them away we wouldnt have over 85000 missing children. The people who are assisting in separation of children remind me of the Jewish people who were over taken by nazi tyranny and actually assisted in processing their Jewish brothers and sisters by stripping them of any valuables and shoes before overlooking their exterminations! The greatest evil of man is when a good person chooses to act indifferent in the face of an act against another human they know in their hearts is inherently wrong and someone should stop from happening! God show mercy on America and I pray that these families by Gods grace are reunited and then prosper! I am ashamed of how far we have slipped from having any empathy in humanity as a whole

How was this even legal 😢

Children won't know what anything is because they are not educated to know what a lawyer is . How will they know?
