As far as the southern border goes, I worry about the safety of those children. There are some faith based charities trying to help, but it looks like most of the kids are stuck in holding facilities with no place to go. Kids don't belong in jail

Kids also don't belong in the situation they left behind.

"In essence, the report highlights the intricate ways in which violence, extreme poverty, and the desire to reunite with family members, help shape these kids’ decision to migrate. According to the report, “crime, gang threats, or violence appear to be the strongest determinants for children’s decision to emigrate. When asked why they left their home, 59 percent of Salvadoran boys and 61 percent of Salvadoran girls list one of those factors as a reason for their emigration.” In El Salvador, the report shows, the issue of gang violence is a widespread phenomenon. According to the findings, gang violence appears as the primary cause of emigration in 11 of 14 of El Salvador’s departments. In the departments of Cuscatlán and Usulután for example, over 85 percent of children flee for this reason."

Must be the influence of religion in El Salvador that's corrupting it. An entire country named for Jesus Christ (El Salvador = The Savior), something like 98% catholic, their role model is a guy who had his own 12 man gang and groupie whore. Just goes to show you everything's subject to interpretation.

Maybe the kids are fleeing the priests?

That wouldn't account for the emigrating Salvadoran girls.

So can't we match up these abandoned children with the American families seeking to adopt from abroad but don't have the necessary finances/family profile?

I take it you've not heard the song "Brown Complexion."

Here's the same person from the above video dancing with President Obama. Apparently someone likes brown.
