Border Patrol officers' routine abuse of undocumented immigrants has been called criminal. The result of their ongoing victimization has led to the deaths, hospitalization, and injury of a number of migrants who lined the border, attempting to cross in order to gain access to a better life. Migrants are subject to physical abuse, verbal harassment and mistreatment; which is very deliberate and usually occurs when migrants are apprehended by border patrol officers.
Black's Law dictionary indicates that a lawyer is a person "learned in the law," such as a solicitor, an attorney, a counselor, or an individual who practices law. Lawyering often occurs in courtrooms, during trails, and in front of jurors. Though, the role of lawyer varies across jurisdiction; and, apparently, the ability to become a lawyer depends on legal status in the United States, even if a non-citizen has met every requirement asked of him, including being granted deferred actions regarding his legal status.
