It is not uncommon for Central American parents to leave their children behind at a young age with other family to come work in the US. The adults usually make their way to a place where they already have relatives and what money they make is sent back home to provide for their children and aging parents. After few years, the parents through their relatives or friends who visit Central America request them to arrange to get their kids through Coyotes who bring them to re-unite with their mother. It is not sure how many get lucky to meet up with their children.

According to U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 54,677 minors nationwide have been released to sponsors or family members — who make themselves responsible for the children — since the beginning of this year. Children crossing the border alone, under law, must receive a court date within 21 days of identification by authorities.

 Immigration attorneys say that because the minors crossing the border are often escaping gang violence and crime, the majority of them are eligible for aid and may be able to stay.
