Being moved to the top of a list, in this context, was the least desirable thing—at least from the point of view of the children involved. Basically, the priority juvenile docket implied that deportation proceedings against them were accelerated by 94 percent, and that both they and the organizations that normally provided legal representation now had much less time to build a defense.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Valeria Luiselli" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/valeria-luiselli/before-the-immigration-crisis-was-declared-in-the-summer-of-2014/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/fb9/valeria-luiselli-27018_point-of-view_before-the-immigration-crisis-was-declar_2166404.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/fb9/valeria-luiselli-27018_point-of-view_before-the-immigration-crisis-was-declar_2166404.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/fb9/valeria-luiselli-27018_point-of-view_before-the-immigration-crisis-was-declar_2166404.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Before the immigration crisis was declared in the summer of 2014, minors seeking immigration relief were…” — Valeria Luiselli", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } } ] }, { "@type": "CollectionPage", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/immigration-crisis/#webpage", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/immigration-crisis/", "name": "Immigration Crisis Quotes", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#website" }, "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/immigration-crisis/#itemlist" }, "primaryImageOfPage": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/2bf/charlie-kirk-5442_america_for-years-elites-in-both-political-parti_1610604.jpg" }, "description": "Browse 10 Immigration Crisis quotes by 10 authors.
