Immigrant children aren't entitled to government-paid lawyers in deportation hearings, court rules

A federal appeals court decided that undocumented children are not entitled to government-paid lawyers in hearings that could lead to their deportation. What will happen to these children? Most of these children come to the United States to escape violence in their country. Also some come to this country with no choice because their parents brought them. Some of the children that are detain are in this country alone. The only defender that these children have is a lawyer and they are unable to gain one. Undocumented children come to the United States for hope and now there is no hope. Undocumented children traveling alone to the U.S is increasing. Some parents do not want to claim their children in fear of their deportation so they leave them detained. As a parent this breaks my heart because children can't defend themselves. These children are in risk of being sexually assaulted and abused on their journey to this country by themselves.
