Migrants/immigrants

"Central American children from El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras are migrating to the United States alone in record numbers. While not a new phenomenon, the number of children who are making the perilous journey alone has increased exponentially - 6,775, on average, arrived between 2003-2011, and upwards of 90,000 are projected to arrive in Fiscal Year 2014. The Catholic Church has taken serious the humanitarian and policy oriented aspects of this situation and is advocating on behalf of increased protections for migrant children and their families who are arriving in the United States."
