The article indicates that, between 2008 and 2011, the number of children landing in the custody of Refugee Resettlement fluctuated between 6,000 and 7,500 per year, and this year the total is expected to exceed 60,000. More than 90 percent of those sheltered by the government are from Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador, with many driven north by pervasive violence and poverty in their home countries, according to the report.
