The article discusses a call for reform involving America's Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS) remedy which is available to abused, abandoned, and neglected children in the country, and it mentions legal protections for undocumented immigrant children in the U.S., as well as information about legal permanent resident status in America.
