The Obama administration announced a program late last week that would provide attorneys for the young illegal immigrant children crossing in waves over the U.S.-Mexico border, saying they want to make sure the unaccompanied minors are getting fair legal representation.
The joint project between the Justice Department and AmeriCorps, the government’s national service organization, aims to recruit 100 lawyers and paralegals to shepherd the children through the immigration system, making sure they are treated properly and can make claims for legal status or protection if they are eligible.
“We’re taking a historic step to strengthen our justice system and protect the rights of the most vulnerable members of society,” Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. said in a statement announcing the plan.
“How we treat those in need, particularly young people who must appear in immigration proceedings — many of whom are fleeing violence, persecution, abuse or trafficking — goes to the core of who we are as a nation,” he said.
Known as unaccompanied alien children, they are generally from Central America, are escaping poverty, abuse or dangerous gangs back home, and make the harrowing trek through Mexico and across the U.S. border.

If Holder want to pay for the legal team then go for it!!! Taxpayers NO WAY!!! WE have already paid far to much for these LAWLESS immigrants!!! SCREW HOLDER!!!!
I thought the USSC said the children have to be held separately. What is Holder suing for? For the kids to be sent home without their parents?
This was 2014
“Dick” Holder gets his own DC cherry tree...
Now that he’s not in government, I guess he can’t send guns.........
John Podesta will take care of a few of those children.
Illegal.
And then go fellate the tailpipe on a Mack truck while you're at it.
Old news
“Daaang, look at all dem cameras! I gotta get me in frona dem somehow.”
Holder needs to focus on the US citizen children being shot in his ‘hood. He’s not done a thing for them for 40 years.
16 Mexican schoolchildren were murdered by the weapons obama and Eric Holder provided the drug cartels with the hope of mass murder in order to try to take away our 2nd amendment rights. Over 400 people so far murdered. Holder is a mass murderer.
