Immigrant Children need Legal Counsel Too

  Some people feel that you only need  a lawyer when you have a criminal case ,but the American Civil Liberties and others group feel that immigration do too. Recently this year  the American  Civil Liberties and other group sued the federal government for failure to provide legal counsel Representation  to immigration children in their deportation proceeding. I know what you think they are immigration and they should not be allow legal counsel, but they are humans and have right just like all of us.  The reason the group file the law suit because they immigration ages 10-17 was unable to find a lawyer to stop the government from deportation them. Its hard to understand this statement "In this country, immigration courts, unlike criminal courts," Do not provide lawyers for immigrants who are fighting deportation" (www.npr.org) that is crazy. Just because they are crossing  the broader  doesn't mean or should not be a way they can have legal counsel like the rest of the Americans citizen."immigrant advocates generally agree that more than half of all unaccompanied children in deportation proceedings do not have legal counsel."(www.npr.org) Do you feel that the children should have legal counsel? are they human right been violated just because they are immigrants? Well have a legal counsel sometime help in any cases."The Obama administration's recent request for emergency funds to handle the wave of immigrants on the Southwest border includes $45 million for 40 additional immigration judge teams and $15 million for direct legal representation to children."(www.npr.org) Since they government  help fund  the wave of immigrants why not granted them legal counsel too?
