What’s happening in Texas reflects a nationwide trend: Immigration by undocumented children under 18 is on the rise, even as fewer adults come into the country illegally.

Asylum seekers hoping to reach Australia, wait in a police station in Surabaya , East Java province July 29, 2012.


The Australian government has decided to send children seeking asylum to a remote outback detention camp.  The move to incarcerate children and their families has been condemned by health professionals and refugee groups.
