Thousands of children are making the dangerous journey north from Central America and Mexico alone. The number of unaccompanied immigrant children migrating to the United States has increased, and experts anticipate 80,000 to 120,000 new arrivals in 2014. A complex array of federal agencies handle the care and custody of the children once they arrive in the United States as well as the adjudication of their immigration claims. 

The speakers were:

  • Tony Benegas, Honorary Consul of Honduras in Phoenix and Philanthropic Advisor, Arizona Community Foundation; 
  • Bruce Esterline, Vice President for Grants, The Meadows Foundation; 
  • Tara Magner, Program Officer, MacArthur Foundation; 
  • Daranee Petsod, President, GCIR;
  • Aryah Somers, Consultant, GCIR and UNHCR; and
  • Beatriz Solis, Director, Healthy Communities, The California Endowment.
