Subject: RE: BS: Illegals' children and psych help
I can imagine a lot of things--having worked with immigrant and migrant issues in the past, I know that it is often very difficult to get down to the real situation--often, it is made intentionally difficult by the parties involved, who often hide behind "language barriers" as a way of protecting their own interests--

At any rate, I would find a child advocate who can speak the language and who can get down to the real situation--there are a lot of people--social workers, lawyers, priests--who can respond, though it takes a while to find someone who will--
