Unaccompanied illegal alien children

No Ceiling on AmeriCorp nad Now a New Bill - From Maggie at Maggies Note Book

When the "Unaccompanied Alien Children" (UAC) began pouring across our borders in mid-2014, the Department of Justice (DOJ) set up a program with AmeriCorp and gave it a cute name: "justice AmeriCorp."

A grant of $2 million (Judicial Watch says there's really no ceiling), came with the cute name. The money was to be used for lawyers to represent the unaccompanied, illegal alien children in court, but from sea-to-shining sea, few show up for their hearings.

I'm betting the attorneys get paid anyway. I'm betting the $2 million is gone and more has been poured into the program with children still not showing up. So it begs the question: why has Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA-19th) and Senator Harry Reid (D-NV) introduced the Fair Day in Court for Kids Act, calling for taxpayers to fund the kids in court when we're already funding them?
You can find Reid's bill (S.2540 here). NumbersUSA reports the numbers of kids coming in doubled in Fiscal 2016, October 1, 2015 - January 31-2016. The number of family units almost tripled in that same time period.

We tend to think of these children as Mexicans, but friends, the majority are from Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador. By July 2014, the Border Patrol out of Nogales, Arizona were holding sixteen "unaccompanied alien children," who are members of MS-13 (Mara Salvatruch), a "transnational criminal gang."
July 2014 –– the incursion was just beginning. The number of unaccompanied alien children (0-17 years old) that were apprehend between October 1- January 31 has doubled from 10,105 in 2015 to 20,455 in 2016. 
The number of family units apprehended in the same time period has almost tripled from 9,090 in 2015 to 24,616 in 2016. 
A recent DHS intelligence report showed that 60% of the family units apprehended at the border said that current U.S. immigration policies influenced their decision to come to the U.S.
