In a startling revelation, the US Border Patrol discloses that since the start of the fiscal year in October, a staggering 48,610 children without legal guardians have crossed the US-Mexico border.
This surge has been accompanied by a larger influx of 1.2 million people illegally entering the United States, as reported by US Customs and Border Protection.

Recently, five children, ages 5 to 11, were found carrying notes with addresses in New York and Texas, signaling an alarming trend of minors arriving with no legal guardians.
Escaping Deportation: US Policy and the Plight of Unaccompanied Minors
US policy dictates that unaccompanied minors reaching the southern border are not deported immediately, leading to a growing number of individuals posing as children to avoid deportation.
In 2022, nearly 700 juvenile imposters were identified in El Paso, Texas.
These children are placed in living facilities called Southwest Keys, managed by the Office of Refugee Resettlement.
Southwest Keys: Facilities Providing Care and Support for Unaccompanied Minors
Southwest Keys, a network of facilities, plays a crucial role in caring for unaccompanied minors.
With 27 shelters across the border, their goal is to reunify these minors with family or sponsors swiftly while ensuring their safety.
The typical length of stay for minors in these shelters is 32 days or less, during which they receive medical care, education, religious services, and counseling if needed.
