Many of these children have legitimate legal claims that they have been physically abused. raped. or victimized by gangs or human traffickers. We must give them a fair chance to tell their stories. This bill. which I support. does not repeal these protections. Instead. it takes the important steps of funding our immigration courts to levels necessary to timely hear these childrens claims. This bill also helps with legal representation and orientation servicessomething the faith communities and other advocates we met with told us were necessary. This will help to speed up the legal process. while ensuring that the rights of these children are protected.
