He was in the court, which would decide whether to expel him from the country, without a parent \u00e2\u20ac\u201d and also without a lawyer.<\/p>\n<p>Immigration courts in this South Texas border town and across the country are confronting an unexpected surge of children, some of them barely school age, who traveled here without parents and were caught as they tried to cross illegally into the United States.<\/p>\n<p>The young people, mostly from Mexico and Central America, ride to the border on the roofs of freight trains or the backs of buses. They cross the Rio Grande on inner tubes, or hike for days through extremes of heat and chill in Arizona deserts. The smallest children, like Juan, are most often brought by smugglers.<\/p>\n<p>The youths pose troubling difficulties for American immigration courts. Unlike in criminal or family courts, in immigration court there is no right to a lawyer paid by the government for people who cannot afford one. And immigration law contains few protections specifically for minors. So even a child as young as Juan has to go before an immigration judge \u00e2\u20ac\u201d confronting a prosecutor and trying to fight deportation \u00e2\u20ac\u201d without the help of a lawyer, if one is not privately provided.<\/p>\n<p>So far this year, more than 11,000 unaccompanied minors have been placed in deportation proceedings, nearly double last year\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s numbers.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Link to full article\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2012\/08\/26\/us\/more-young-illegal-immigrants-face-deportation.html?_r=2&amp;smid=tu-share\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Link to full article<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In case you missed them&#8230;..
