Americans May Soon Be Forced To Pay For Illegal Immigrants Attorneys According to recent reports, Democratic Representative Zoe Lofgren has been calling for Congress to order that American taxpayers be held responsible for paying for each illegal migrant child to be represented in court. Lofgren used Twitter to voice her frustrations, attempting to guilt citizens into paying for illegal immigrants so that they can practice their rights. Most get a hearing and/or interview with asylum officer where they can make claim of persecution and trafficking #AskDems, Lofgren tweeted on July 15. We must work to make sure every child as legal representation in this process #AskDems, she added. What do you think? Is it fair to put this responsibility on American citizens or are our taxpayer dollars better spent elsewhere?
