The U.S. Department of Justice just announced a new initiative to provide legal representation to illegal immigrant children who cross into the United States – right after recent headlines rocked the nation predicting that 60,000 or more youth without parents would steal into the country in the coming year.
It’s called “justice AmeriCorps,” and it’s a grant program that will pay for about 100 lawyers and paralegals to provide legal guidance and service in court to children who cross the border illegally.
“With the launch of justice AmeriCorps, we’re taking a historic step to strengthen our justice system and protect the rights of the most vulnerable members of society,” said Attorney General Eric Holder, in a written statement released June 6. “Through this program, we reaffirm our allegiance to the values that have always shaped our pursuit of justice. We empower new generations of aspiring attorneys and paralegals to serve their country and stand on the front lines of this fight. And we bolster both the efficacy and the efficiency of our immigration courts.”
But Cheryl Chumley, author of “Police State USA: How Orwell’s Nightmare Is Becoming Our Reality,” has criticized the initiative as an attempt to further amnesty for illegal aliens in a way that – because children are involved – will be politically tough to oppose.

“The attorney general of the United States gathering a team of attorneys to represent illegal immigrants in court – isn’t that backward?” Chumley asked. “I thought the federal government was supposed to protect our borders, not open them to more and more illegal entries.
“Of course, it’s hard to turn away any child in need,” Chumley added, “but the truth of the matter is, with this pro-amnesty president and scandal-plagued attorney general, it’s hard to believe this justice AmeriCorps initiative isn’t so much about helping the children as about – to put it bluntly – a new generation of Democrat voters who will likely be raised to believe that government is the grantor of rights and privileges.”Read the rest of the story HERE.

Mexico is home to one of the world's richest men, Carlos Slim, even toppling Bill Gates for the title. There are also plenty of other wealthy Mexicans or wealth producing resources in that country to provide for those children. These stories are nothing but emotional manipulation targeting the mean Americans who are cruel to these children if they're not received. It is absurd that a country, Mexico, home to the world's ranked number one richest man, Carlos Slim, and again, along with other very wealthy citizens, yet the US should be responsible for that country's children. Mexico is capable of taking care of its own, but chooses to let its citizens suffer to not rock their social and political boat; meanwhile, the US has a long list of problems of its own to solve.
