Join us in August as we discuss the current structural immigration reality with Alberto Fierro, Mexican Consul in St. Paul, in light of the recent crisis of minors crossing the U.S.-Mexico borders. Recent news reports indicate an increase in unaccompanied minors crossing the U.S. - Mexico border in this fiscal year, originating primarily from Central American countries such as Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador. According to BBC News:

In the 2013 fiscal year, the US Border Patrol caught 38,833 juveniles attempting to enter the country - a 59% increase from the previous year and a 142% rise from 2011. This year, the US has already apprehended about 47,000, according to government figures, and the number is estimated to grow to more than 60,000 by the time the current fiscal year ends in October.
