Nearly 52,000 unaccompanied children-mostly from Central America have been taken into custody. This has turned out to be the largest invasion of refuge seekers into the US in recent times.  The border crossing has nearly doubled from last year’s total and 10 times more since 2009.

The issue has mounted its tip forcing President Obama to call on Congress to get funding of nearly $3.7 billion to deal with the immigration crisis as part of an “emergency” package. The money would be distributed on additional Border Patrol work force, detention facilities and for child care during the deportation process.

A study by U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees has pointed out that nearly 58 percent of the unaccompanied children are forced to move to safer places, due to fear back home, as their home countries are being ravaged by gang violence and drug peddling. Many are influenced by the idea of reuniting with the family members in the US.

The Republicans point out at the President’s 2012 decision of bringing in the Dream Act, where young adults brought to the country illegally will not be deported. This has led to more illegal families expecting similar action.

The administration is doing a lot to meet the immigration catastrophe; can we see any clear path to immigration reform yet?
