thabks for doing this! very interesting stuff. my question is somewhat personal.

I do a lot of missions work in rural Guatemala. most of the kids there are urged that they CAN live and survive in their home country, so most don't want to make the dangerous journey north. but one of the children of the Guatemalan directors recently was able to get money and a blessing from his parents to head to the states via southern Texas. well, he got caught and has been being held. but, our gov't is now saying if he can be "sponsored" and goes to a court hearing claiming fearful intent (I think?) that he could potentially stay. something seems off here. is this legal? are or people that care about him being pulled around for a quick buck?

edit: grammar and a word

yeah, I felt like asylum was a stretch myself, but it seems like they're letting him try. I'll see if I can find out anything about any of those attorneys. thank you so much for the response!
