    In the wake of Haiti's earthquake, vulnerable Haitian children are at risk in the United States. Some of these children were rushed here for medical care after surviving life-threatening injuries. Others arrived before the earthquake, but have been separated from their parents for years. Many lack permanent legal immigration status. This analysis features real-life examples, legal options, and policy recommendations for helping such children.

     

    Michelle Abarca and Deborah Lee are Children's Legal Project Co-Directors at the Florida Immigrant Advocacy Center.

    An authoritative analysis of important cases, codes, statutes, rulings, emerging issues or legal topics is available now - through LexisNexis Emerging Issues Analysis. The brain trust of LexisNexis authors - thousands of recognized authorities who develop the respected Matthew Bender’, Mealey’s and Martindale-Hubbell’; treatises and articles - produce this highly specific content. Each commentary covers an important case, code, statute, ruling or emerging issue such as subprime, nanotechnology, or climate change. More current and concentrated than treatises and more analytical than news, Emerging Issues Analysis bridges the information gap between the two, providing quick expert analysis of current developments in law.
