Arguing the Obama administration has been unfair to illegal immigrants by shunting them through a complex legal system without proper attention to their rights, Sen. Harry Reid, the top Democrat in the upper chamber, led colleagues in demanding lawyers and other protections, such as allowing migrants to delay their trials until they get access to their entire government file.
Currently, migrants are able to hire their own lawyers, but the government cannot pay for them.
Though unlikely to advance in the GOP-controlled Congress, the legislation is an important marker for both the presidential campaign and for the ongoing debate over how the U.S. treats the illegal immigrants — and, particularly, the unaccompanied children — that have skyrocketed in recent years.

Harry Reid at it again - he needs to go to Nevada and stay there and keep his stupid mouth shut.
Dems losing the immigration battle. Trying to whip up the base.
What drives Harry Reid to constantly try to destroy America?
Special intrest...anything Dems
can steal...for themselves
Votes is why dems continue.
Why is anyone listening to this lameduck Senator who's only variant with Hillary Clinton is gender.
As for as I'm concerned the taxpayers of this country don't owe these illegals a damn thing. What don't these people understand about the word illegal.
Someone at the Dept. of Ag must have taken page from Bernie's script and planted those trees that we're gonna get all the free sh!t off of.
If you are illegal or not an American Citizen you have no rights given by our Constitution. They are allowed to destroy our traditions and way of life. In my opinion they are creating treason against America and should not be allowed any tax dollars for anything. They don't like these ideas then they can leave America and return to where they came from. The Country they came from then should receive no Foreign Aid for 20 years.
dems want the votes of the illegals in any way they can get them.
They can cry fowl all they want but they do not hold the majority in the Senate or the House. Good luck, Reid.
