“Since October, about 70,000 children have been detained along the Mexican border, a 5 percent increase over the same period a year earlier, the U.S. Border Patrol says.
Like Alejandro — who wants to get to Corona to join a father he hasn’t seen in nine years — most children are heading north to reunite with parents living illegally in the United States.
The Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks prompted the United States to tighten security along its southern border, making it harder to sneak in. Rather than risking a return to Mexico to get their children, many migrants are paying smugglers to bring them north.”
