US: Supporting refugee and immigrant children
Huffington Post – September 07, 2016
A recent report by Child Trends estimates that more than 127,000 foreign children will enter the U.S. by the end of 2016, up from about 90,000 in 2015. Each of these children has a legal designation. That designation-not their physical or psychological needs, or even the mere fact that they are children-determines the level of support and protection they receive under U.S. law.
