Question

examining and analyzing an editorial
to permanently stem this flow of children, we must address the complex root causes of violence in honduras, as well as the demand for illegal drugs in the united states that is fueling that violence.
in the meantime, however, we must recognize this as a refugee crisis, as the united nations just recommended. these children are facing threats similar to the forceful conscription of child soldiers by warlords in sudan or during the civil war in bosnia. being forced to sell drugs by narcos is no different from being forced into military service.
