Authorities at the southern borders of the USA are getting ready for another surge of children who will be illegal immigrants to come into the country. Although the officials expect a much lower rate of immigration than last year, still, the spike is expected to be remarkable.

Those who are experts on immigration are making projections that more than 40,000 unescorted children may make attempts to cross into the United States from Mexico, which is down by almost 45 per cent than in the year 2014.

But even this number is most likely to be one of the highest spikes on record, and it is expected to put pressure on personnel who are at the border and increasingly force the Congress to return to the topic when it comes to funding for the government. The entry could also spark another political squabble over the sticky issues concerning border security and immigration reform, especially as the 2016 presidential contest starts heating up over the summer.

Many administration officers who were caught off guard during the surge last year state that they are much prepared this year than last. But everybody is concerned that the policy makers, both in the White House and in Capitol Hill were not doing enough to address the issue.
