Obama Plans To Allow Some Central American Kids To Apply For Refugee Status From Home

Oct 1, 2014

The Obama administration has approved plans to establish in-country refugee processing centers in three Central American countries that have seen an exodus of migrant children fleeing to the United States, most to escape violence, the New York Times reported. In a memorandum to the State Department circulated Tuesday, President Obama outlined plans to allocate a total of 70,000 refugee visas, setting aside 4,000 slots for all applicants from Latin America and the Caribbean. That category includes migrant children among other refugees from the region, but as the Associated Press points out, “the number is a fraction of the number of children who have already crossed the border into the United States and are awaiting deportation proceedings.” The move is aimed at deterring children in Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala from crossing into the United States through Mexico, a treacherous journey that often involves the use of coyotes, or migrant smugglers.
