US: End The Cycle Of Crises For Unaccompanied Immigrant Children (Opinion)
Forbes – August 01, 2021
For the past decade, conditions in northern Central America have propelled the migration of vulnerable and often traumatized children to the U.S. border. Many of them arrive seeking refuge as they flee targeted violence, pervasive corruption, and natural disasters. The U.S. government’s failure to build a system for their adequate care and to swiftly reunify them with family has resulted in an endless cycle of preventable crises that further traumatize young people as they seek safety. The harms from this system of mass detention can be avoided if we adopt humane and commonsense practices.
