Early last year we began this broadcast with very hopeful news in the battle against aids. Doctors in mississippi had said that they had rid a baby girl of hiv, the virus that cause the disease. Well, tonight dr. Jon lapook tells us theres been a Major Development in her case. Physicians at the university of Mississippi Medical Centre have been monitoring the fouryearold girl since her unusually aggressive treatment during infancy. There had been no trace of active virus for more than two years. But a routine checkup this month showed the virus had returned. Dr. Anthony fauferjy overseas aids research at the National Institutes of health. We were obviously very disappointing because we were hoping that this would be the first example of a real cure of a baby related to the fact that the baby was treat add aggressively very, very early, essentially from the time of birth. Reporter the case was especially promising because doctors thought the early regimen might have stopped the virus from finding hiding places in the body. At birth the girl tested positive for hiv and was immediately treated with a three drug cocktail. At 29 days she was hiv negative. But after 18 months, the mother stopped treatment and disappeared for five months. When the child returned to the hospital, doctors were surprised to find no sign of the virus. Normally it must be suppressed by the indefinite use of medication. The girl is now back on antiviral treatment and is responding well. Dr. Hannah gay who has cared for the little girl since birth released a statement saying it was a punch in the gut to see these test results last week. Pelley a lot more work to be donement jon, thanks, very much. Today the Republican Leadership in washington took a very dim view of president obamas nearly 4 billion request to cope with a surge of Illegal Immigrants. Senate Minority Leader Mitch Mcconnell complained the president was asking for a blank check. Mr. Obama says he needs the money to care for more than 50,000 immigrant children who have come here since october. And to expand facilities so that Illegal Immigrants can be sent home more quickly. The governor of texas says he has a solution to this crisis. Republican rick perry shared his idea with president obama in a meeting yesterday. And he shared it with our Major Garrett today. I told the president , i said you can address this, and you can address it very quickly by picking up the phone, directing the department of defence to put a thousand National Guard troops on that border, move them to the border, along with the texas Law Enforcement surge that we have going on, along with the local Law Enforcement. What you are saying is the send to the american countries and the parns considering putting the children, need to see a militarized presence on the u. S. Mexico borders a deterrent, the mere pictures will speak louder than anything you or the president might say. I would suggest it is not just pictures. I mean its communications. Its talking back to the people back home. And theyre going to hear very quickly that this has changed it this border secure. The president opposes sending the National Guard to the Rio Grande Valley arguing the problem there is not apprehending the unaccompanied minor children but caring for them while their immigration status is reviewed. Scott, the white house says it will be difficult for the president to speed up the deportation process without the new funds and Legal Authority he has asked congress to approve. Pelley Major Garrett at the white house tonight, thank you, major. Part of this problem stems from the fact that there are tens of thousands of illegal immigrant children waiting for their day in court. Under a 2008 law most children who enter the United States illegally without their parents are automatically entitled to a hearing. In 26 courtrooms all across america, they make their case. Michelle miller met two of them in new york. 14yearold left a new york city courtroom today with his older sister and attorney hopeful that he will soon gain legal status in the United States. The honduran native says after his father abandoned the family he fled gang violence. Its very complicated, he says, because if you dont do what they say, they can kill you. Amaya was one of 100 children telling their stories to a federal immigration judge who will eventually decide their fate. Amayas sister paid for his lawyer you are raj jadeja. The gangs run honduras el salvadore, i dont blame him for coming. I would dot same thing. Many other children could not afford attorneys. 16yearold alissa from el salva done showed up with a family friend wishing she had a lawyer. It would help me with the process, she told us. Nationwide there are more than 40,000 other cases waiting to be heard in a backlogged system. Jadeja took on 12 other childrens cases today, two free of charge. Generally a case takes about two years to complete. Or longer. We sat in on 32 hearings today.
