Protecting Alien Minors: Who Is Responsible?
Posted by Jack Martin | May 18, 2017
The Virginia Court of Appeals is currently being asked to decide whether county civil court judges should have to rule on whether illegal alien minors should be protected against deportation when it is alleged they will be abused if they are sent home. The Washington Post reports that many local judges are balking at making a ruling on these cases because immigration is a federal issue and they feel they lack competence to rule on an immigration matter.
The arguments about this issue ignore the point that the institutions that provide protection for abused minors in the home country are the logical bodies to determine whether and when and what type of protection may be needed.
