One popular news of lately is that thousands of unaccompanied children from Central America and Mexico are arriving in the United States in droves. Many are said to be fleeing from gang violence and other types of violence. However, what about the other children? Adults generally have a soft spot in their hearts for young children and this sympathetic feeling is seen in the United States as so many are scrambling to house, feed, and care for these young ones without parents. That is exactly what the parents and guardians expect to happen! It is not an easy decision to send away a small child without adult supervision. However, living in Central America, Mexico, and other developing countries in poverty with no hope will make any parent do whatever is possible with knowledge that in the long run, their children will have a better life. More so, with the recent laws passed in some states for children of illegal aliens to be entitled to have in-state tuition when enrolled at a state college or university, this opens the door to the opportunities available to any child who illegally arrives in the United States. So, in the future, more and more parents living in poverty in not only Central America and Mexico but others countries such as Haiti, Jamaica, Dominica Republic, etc., etc., etc., will send their young ones unaccompanied to the USA so they will have an opportunity for a better life. While parents will have to go through trials and tribulations to get to the US with the knowledge that they will be deported, this fate will not happen to their children. So, come on down kids, the door may not be open to your parents, but it is certainly open to you!
