Those who have made it into California are finding support mixed with hardship. Across the border, there’s a cadre of pro bono attorneys eager to help them navigate the asylum application process. But the areas offering the most assistance also tend to have the highest cost of living.

“She tells them they’re not just losing their lawyer. They’re leaving behind California’s Ninth Circuit for courts that may be more likely to deny asylum claims.”

We are ruled by the courts?

“In 2017, California lawmakers approved a state budget including $45 million in funding for immigrant legal assistance. The state’s Department of Social Services has contracted dozens of nonprofits, like Esperanza and Human Rights First, to offer legal help to thousands of immigrants every year.”

$45 million to sue American citizens

They should open up all their big fine homes and take all those refugees they are helping in as house guests. They are all socialists after all.

..there’s a cadre of pro bono attorneys eager to help them navigate the asylum application process.

Those pro bono attorneys, likely recompensed by George Soros and his ilk, are doing more than helping with an application process, helping with public assistance and housing is also on the docket. One attorney in California was recently disbarred and facing Federal prosecution for aiding in fraudulent applications and providing false IDs to the illegal aliens and asylum seekers.

Bus them to democrat politician dwellings and tell them they can move in. Climb the walls, ignore the security guards, break doors and windows and move right in.

The help is paid for with our money. There is no more money left - the government takes most of it. Go away.

Why do many women and minorities need help from white heterosexual males, but white heterosexual males seem to be able to accomplish their goals without help?
