There is no sight that more efficiently puts the lie to immigration “court” than the common sight of children “representing themselves.” Children too small to climb into the chair, children in pajamas who don’t know where they are, children not yet old enough to speak.

At 99.4% reporting, Decision Desk HQ displayed 148,853 total votes. The final certified tally: 179,899.
