policy in honduras.he recently authored a piece titled, "who's responsible for the flight of honduran children?" in february, her article, "the thugocracy next door" appeared in politico magazine. welcome to democracy now! thank you for joining us. islain what the background for so many and so many children to be fleeing the violence in honduras. >> we keep hearing the fact that people are fleeing gangs and violence, but there hasn't been an analysis or discussion of why is there so much gang activity and violence in honduras. the answer is, this tremendous criminality the 2009 military coup open the door to win it overthrew the democratically elected president manuel zelaya. the two itself was a criminal act and are really opened the door for the spectacular corruption of the police and up-and-down top to bottom of the government. that in turn means it is possible to kill anybody you want, practically, and nothing will happen to you. it is widely documented the police are overwhelmingly corrupt. even a

you have been following the story of a teenager from honduras. tell us about that. >> this is axel, travelling from honduras to the city. it straddles the u.s. border. he left home from the most violent city, because gangs were after him. he turned 16 and described a terrifying journey northward flow mexico. his plan was to reunite with his father where he's been living undocumented. he tried to make it through the desert. he didn't make it. now he has been living with his father. i went back, met his family, brother, mother. if axel is deported, he'll be killed. his mother said she'd send him back. >> i spoke to another young man, jose. he was 14 when he fled an abusive father. he's a ph.d. student. he told me a little about his own journey. >> the journey was horrible. it was very painle. some of the experience that i remember, a smuggler raping a little girl that came with us, and with the gun in his hand he told us that if we said something, we'd be next. i wanted to be with my mother. >> what happened when you made it to the border? >> when

honduras, guatemala, el salvador. you can see where they're coming from right there and make no mistake they're as much running to the u.s. as they are running from terrible violence back home. here's why, take honduras, it's not only the murder capital but the world's murder capital at the rate of 187 homicides per 100,000 people. a little perspective the rate in chicago was 15 per 100,000 people, so this is more than 12 times worse. the worst city in the u.s. if you were parents, you just might want to risk sending your kids to the u.s. as well. and you might think the journey to the u.s. would begin with a terrifying dash across the border. but the reality on the guatemala/mexico border couldn't be more different. our cnn's gary tuchman is in guatemala city right now. gary, you went down there to check all of this out and see how tough it is. how tough is it? >> reporter: well, miguel, for central americans, undocumented migrants who want to get across the guatemalan border to mexico, it's very easy and inexpensive

i've a quick comment in connection with what honduras is doing. in the past few weeks, the president decided to work with the director of migration in honduras. there were blind spots. they are crossings that are not defined border crossings. activities were conducted there. illegal trafficking activities of minors. this had an effect on us. and, many of the coyote groups need to be brought in to justice. it is a good idea to make a distinction from regular migration from irregular migration. regular migration is a reality of the globalized world. no one can deny that. if we look at this viewpoint, there would be a contradiction. the northern triangle countries have been pioneers. we have worked towards moving our goods and services quickly from one border to the next. the same thing happens regionally. one could say that there is a contradiction. on the one hand, we are facilitating the movement of goods and services. we have to stop the movement of people. so, how can we tried to solve this contradiction. we have to look at legal migration alter

but honduras is a very different nation today. honduras is now the murder capital of the world. highest homicide rate in the united states, about 40 times the homicide rate of the united states. this area, el progresso is really sort of the epicenter of that. the united states had to pull peace corps volunteers out of honduras a few years ago because it got too violent. and the friends that i've stayed in touch with over the years have -- have informed me about what's been happening in their neighborhoods as the violence has increased. we had a hearing last week where we had witnesses before us in the foreign relations committee. we asked, why are the kids leaving honduras? is it because their parents don't love them? i mean, you think about family members. what would it take for a family to let a child take a trip of the kind that alejandro took? it would have to be -- i can tell you from living in honduras, parents love their kids just like they do love them in the united states. they're no different. to send your child thousands of miles, you would only do it for the most ext

most of these are from el salvador, guatemala, and honduras. i was confirmed for the position on march 7th and less than two weeks later, i was in the rio grande valley in mckown, texas, to see this for myself and look at the challenge that men and women of customs and border protection were facing. i've since made two return visits and i'm completely focused on though make sure we do everything we can to address this increased flow of children acrossing the border. the recent dramatic increase is difficult and distressing on a lot of levels. and today at this fiscal year, the number of unaccompanied children encountered by cdp is over 57,000. it's more than doubled compared to the previous year, and as of july 1st, there were just over 2,600 unaccompanied children in our custody. we're working closely with our counterparts to surge every available resource, personnel, facilities, equipment supplies, to quickly, safely, and humanely process these children in accordance with the 2008 trafficking victims protection reauthorization act, and to sup

bob brought up honduras. if the president actually had some ideas, if he wasn't a pragmatist, he would suggest getting rid of drug regulations that create wars and violence that have so many coming from south and central america coming to america. >> they come here illegally, they live in honduras, they don't come here and break the law, they deal with the same situation the other children are in honduras. that doesn't justify breaking the law, coming here illegally. >> we can't take children from every country with violence or a tough economy. we will be taking millions and millions of children. sound bite from a couple years ago. see how serious he is about border control. watch. >> they said we need to triple border patrol. now they're going to say quadruple the border patrol, or want a higher fence. maybe they'll need a moat. maybe they want alligators in the m.oat. >> is president obama, does he have any real border security idea at all? >> i don't think so, eric. that's the biggest problem. you know, sa

honduras, yeah, it builds up to 91 in 2011. it's down to 87 in 2013. put that in perspective, the murder rate in detroit in 2012 is 55, 54.6. in new orleans, 52.2. i would be looking more to the policy poll factor in terms of causing this. i also want to talk about spending in general. we have spent a lot of money in terms of ice and custom border >> in 2008, we spent $17.5 billion on those programs. million orthe $1.2 mullahs returns, that is $14,900 per deportation and removal. in 2012, we spent $21.4 billion. divide by six and 50,000 removals and returns, that is $33,000 for removal or return. , we spend a lot of money on a per person basis in terms of what agencies have to spend the money on in terms of individuals. we have more than doubled spending since 2000 and eight. why do we need another $3.7 billion tobacco will have any effect whatsoever? mr. shannon. >> i believe it will. immediate impact will be to allow us to manage the flow of people coming across the border in a better and faster fashion. determinelow us to those who have protection n

he said, look, i felt like if i stayed in honduras, i would i die.i make the journey, i might die but i might live. so i had to take the chance. >> with what the president outlined today, do you see the situation changing at all over the next couple of months? >> i don't think it's a simple answer that 9 administration can say they are just going to try to stem the flow or step the tide and try to send a couple of plain loads people through or stop giving people all the due process rights that they have in the united states. that's not going to deter somebody who is risking dying to stay in their home country. i don't think a quick fix will be the answer. i think the administration needs to stay on the path that it had initially started with thinking about different attorney policies, did, foreign policies and address the root causes of this migration flow and make communities safe so people can stay and they don't have to come here. >> jennifer, she's with the women's refugee commission. thank you for being on our program. >> thank. >> you up next,

here with the first lady of honduras. a lot of politicians are saying all the kids to be returned to be returned to honduras. is that the situation? she is saying there is no simple solution no simple answer, it has to be a collaboration between the u.s. and all the central american countries to solve this issue, that it's not going to be solved overnight. we have been standing by this barricade about an hour and a half and the flow of people has been interesting because only pastors have been allowed in, psychologists have been allowed in, now we have only seen three women come out of this building. one clue a woman may have been a deportee, her shoes didn't have shoelaces. authorities remove those shoelaces. i talked to her briefly, she didn't want to talk us to on camera but she said she was ready to take a shower, get home and put this behind her. the processing of these 18 families took hours. the barricades that you see behind me, they never came down, we never got access to the actual processing center. until we ac

a reporter that covered the texas border returned from honduras. i asked her about the border crisis and how it compares to past incidents. >> we have seen migration of children out of central america, everything from natural disasters and gang violence and children re-un iteming with family members. the tens of thousands of children on their open, with the help of cartel smuggling organizations making their way to the border is stunning to see the overcrowded detention center and the inability to cope wh a humanitarian crisis, and a struggling to understand is this an enforcement issue. they are surrendering to the border control or is it something else. >> what is the greatest need on the border? . the greatest need, to even if you talk to the border control is they can have help getting the children out of detention centers never designed to house children or families, and finding a place by law. taking central american children and putting them in shelters until they can be reunited with relatives and ultimately foster care. that's the next bot

kids from one vast country into another seems hard to imagine, but the conditions in el salvador, honduras and guatemala would be hard to imagine. that is the "inside story." >> hello, i'm ray suarez. it's been fascinating watching the american reactions to the surge in unaccompanied minors, children traveling on their own, trying to cross the u.s. border from mexico to central america. some have reacted with horror, worried first about the welfare of these kids. others have shown more concern about whether and how quickly the migrants can be sent home in order to stop the human flow from guatemala, el salvador and honduras. still others have used what president obama calls a humanitarian crisis totally opposite. this unfolding challenge a proof for th the call for immigration reform has been a failure. or using the same events as proof that it needs to be fixed and right away. today on the program a closer look at the condition of these communities and the gamble of accepting kids north. orth--sending kids north. >> reporter: 15-year-old trekked 2,000 miles in hopes of beginning a new lif

the president of honduras, guatemala and el salvador met in washington with president obama to discuss the 57,000 unaccompanied children who crossed the border to come into the united states between last october and the end of june. those three account for the vast majority of the kids making the dangerous journey. the increases are dramatic. in the nine months ending in june more than 16,000 minors made the trip from honduras, up 10,000 from the full fiscal year 2013. guatemalanors -- guatemalan metres up 13%. 13,000 from el salvador, double 2013 numbers. by all accounts many of these kids are fleeing violence, crime, street gangs and drug cartels. the information we have is central american persons are not sending their children north for jobs and social services

we appreciate the reporting in honduras.ed until their day in court, the tens of thousands of undocumented minors flowing across the border, they need to be accommodated somehow, put up somewhere. in parts of the country, people have been saying, not here, not in my community, this is murrieta california, north of san diego. the federal government has been sending kids far and wide, including to nebraska where the governor is far from pleased at how it's being done in his case. these 200 children brought to your state in recent months, is it true you were told nothing about them coming? >> that's exactly right. i only learned last thursday or friday when senator johanns found out. illegal children to our state. no mayor has been notified. i have not been notified. >> do you know they are all children? do you know anything about them? >> we don't know anything about them right now, other than the department of health and human services has said they're in our state. i requested of their office and we're sending a letter to th

so the traffickers have simply rerouteed to honduras and about four and five planes now land in honduras with this cocaine heading north. and these narco cartels have really established an enormous grip on some neighborhoods and these children are their foot soldiers and a lot of schools are battle grounds and they want to recruit these children like christian to work for them, to rob, to extort people in the neighborhood and ultimately to become hit men and work for them in that way. you see children as young as six years old in christian's school being pressured to use marijuana and crack and christian was asked when he was 11 years old, you will use marijuana and crack, the attempt is to hook them with that and get them hooked on these drugs and then working for them and many of them are threatened with their lives and so many of these kids have been threatened several times and that's why i really see these children as refugees. i believe that unlawful immigrants should be deported to their home countries but this is a very different migration. these children are fleeing for their li

the presidents of el salvador, hondur honduras, and guatemala. they're running among other reasons because the violence. you know, estimates those three countries alone house 70,000 violent gang members. families like this say they lost two brothers to gang violence. the mom and her two young children took the trip to the united states. they were one of the first flown back. you see the brother's killer is looking for them. they're in hiding for their life. it's prompting the administration to consider a new proposal to grant refugee stat it us hundreds or thousands of kids from honduras so they can come legally to the united states and skip the thousand mile trek that is already so horribly dangerous. it's a death sentence for some. that brings us the morning. just hours ago, i sat down with the president of honduras. ahead of his meeting with the president. he laid much of the blame for the crisis on the united states' demand for drugs. >> translator: your country here in the united states is the largest consumer of drugs. what happens with tha
