Children at Risk on the Border
Fernanda Santos, Arizona State University Southwest Borderlands Initiative professor of journalism, discusses the dangerous road taken by immigrant children crossing the southern U.S. border and inside border detention facilities.
"There’s a reason why more and more migrants are trying to cross through these dangerous routes as opposed to going through the legal process of going through a port of entry: they’re not welcomed there, they’re told to wait, they’re told to come back," says @ByFernandaS.
