Summary

The U.S government plans to turn an empty warehouse into a processing facility for un accompanied children who heve entered the country illegally. More than 52,000 unaccompanied minors have been arrested  since October. Most of the children are from Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador.Many are fleeing widespread gang violence, and some are looking to reunite with parents already in the United States. Homeland security Secretary Jeh Jonson wrote an open letter to Central American parents warning them of the dangers of such a journey and emphasizing that the children could be deported.

My opinion

I think that the responsibility of the parents should be pursued. As the article says, letting children go other countries illegally is very risky and their parents should be worried about them. Although wide spread gang volence in hometown is also dangerous, it can’t justify parents letting children run away alone. I believe that authority should regulate those parents in order to prevent those parents from letting thier children fleeing alone. Child migrant processing center won’t be helpful until these measurements are taken because the number of unaccompanied minors have incredibly increased and the facility couldn’t accommodate all of them.
