***if a 6 year-old has the right to ask for asylum, what else can follow? will 6 year-olds be able to divorce their parents? should 6-year-olds be tried as adults.Dave, that was not my decision, that was not your decision, that was the decision of US court. The judge heard the case and made his decision. That is as legal as it gets. The legal way of changing that decision is by presenting your case in court and winning the argument there. The two sides were heading for that trial, until Reno/Castro team simply vetoed it.
No one would simple accept the 6-year old position, but both sides woud have chance to present their arguments.
***i'm not sure a 6 year old is in the position to make a decision like that for him or herself. parental consent will mean nothing if we go down that road.Ironically, it has been Hillary who used to argue that children shoud have the same rights as their parents - including divorcing them.
What goes around...
In addition, we DO, as civilized people, take children from their parents when there is reason to believe that child's welfare could be at risk.
So my position is not to simply give the child the asylum, it is to give the lawyers opportunity to present the case and let the US court to decide.
I don't think doing things that way would jeopardize anyone. It would make Castro upset, however, and that is something Clinton is not ready to accept.
