The Staging of the Illegal Immigrant Children Crisis


Thousands of illegal immigrant children, who somehow made the arduous journey from Central America, have arrived in the United States. The sheer number of illegal border crossings by minors, who are reported to have made the trek to the U.S. unaccompanied by parents or guardians, has severely strained the capacity of the U.S. Border Patrol’s detention facilities in South Texas. In order to adequately house the children, officials have had to resort to the use of warehouses and military bases, some of which are located out of state.
