http://www.latimes.com/ ^ | Jan 29, 2018 | Maura Dolan

A federal appeals court decided unanimously Monday that minor immigrants who are in the country without legal authorization are not entitled to government-paid lawyers in hearings that could lead to their deportation.

A three-judge panel of the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld an immigration judge's decision to deny asylum to a minor identified as C.J.L.G., who left Honduras at age 13 after being threatened by gangs.

They have people here who tell them exactly what to say (I am being threatened by gangs) so they won’t be deported.

What? With the preponderance of lawyers left wingers? Let them take the cases pro bono.

Bottom dwelling sacks of crap.

Deport ALL illegal alien invaders. Seize their ill-gotten assets so as to help defray costs. If they return, shoot them.

Shocking that this kind of ruling came from the 9th Circus.

Has the 9 th circuit finally come to its senses? I doubt it.but I’m still happy with that decision.

Now if they will only make the same decision with the adult illegals in mind.After all they are not citizens of this country either.

Democrats don’t do “pro bono”. They use rulings like this to line the pockets of friendly law firms who dutifully kick back a part of the profits in campaign contributions. Mueller’s Russia investigation is primarily about trying to get Trump, and partly about letting Democrat lawyers bilk millions from US taxpayers under a Republican administration.

Broken blind squirrel clock nut.

So this means the ACLU can’t bill US taxpayers for representing Illegals, right?

I heard there might be some counter law suits going after Mueller.

The ACLU of Southern California eventually took the boy's case, arguing that he and other minors should be entitled to appointed lawyers if they could not afford to hire one.

Fine, let the ACLU represent all of these "children" pro bono.

Patience. One step at a time to MAGA
SUGGEST we FIRST pass legislation to care for those US Citizens who seek to destroy no matter how long an unborn has been in the womb. We FAILED to do that yesterday. WHY? Murder has no bounds.

The generous Democrat Party that LOVES illegals should be happy to pay all the legal bills to keep their future voters here. The rest of us are pleased as punch with this ruling that will save some major tax dollars.

I am somewhat surprised given that this came out of the 9th.

But it is the only decision that makes sense.

The illegals technically are not at risk of punishment. Being returned to their homeland can not technically be considered punishment or a denial of rights. As foreign nationals they have no right to be in the the United States.

People that want to immigrate here legally have to pay for their own immigration lawyers. No way should we pay for lawyers for the illegals.

“Government-paid lawyers” for illegals.

Our country is so broken.
