In washington officials were working out how to keep them home. And there are questions about how to save them. Lori jane gliha has ipp site from the ambassador of el ahead. The principal reason they are leaving their countries is the conditions in those countries, they are really bad. It has to be really bad for a parent to want to part company with his or her own 7yearold. Reporter in front of the House Committee on Homeland Security secretary jay johnson laid out a 14 point plan to curb the flow of mying grant children from Central America into the United States. In the past two months 9,000 minorsered illegally. I have issued an open letter to the parents of those who are sending their children from Central America to the u. S. To highlight the dangers of the journey, and emphasise there are no free passes or per missos at the other end. Reporter he pledged to beef up resources and staff to managed children and increased transportation to move them. The department of Homeland Security is expanding processing and housing facilities. For some members of congress, the plan is coming too late. I dont see the administration doing anything about it other than housing the children. I understand the basis for that. We need to send a signal to the other countries that it will not work. You cant send the children and let them stay. If you ask me if i can take app unaccompanied child and take them to the border and send them back to guatemala, i dont think that. Reporter u. S. Law stops children being deported. They must be tape into custody taken into custody and put into a shelter. They make their way to court. Rehabilitation is okay, lets send them back. It doesnt make sense at all. You send them back to tomorrow, and three days after, or four days, or a week after, they try to enter. El salvadors ambassador told america tonight, the u. S. Suggested chartering planes to send minors back to el salvador. What do you think of the idea of a new flight sending children back to el salvador. Any flight i dont like it. Its something that somebody who tried to come to this country for a better life that fail. They are the people from my country, right. It is painful. Immigration.

His country, he insists, is working on the issue. We try to solve a problem of ipp security and u. N. Opportunity. El salvador is working to counterthe rumours spread by smugglers, that this is a good time to come to the u. S. What we are going now. People are not going to be recovered by form of the migration system, and the only factor is that if they enter the United States, theres no assurance that they could regularize the situation. In a 2013 campaign the government targeted a few hundred teens, distributing posters like these. The efforts deterred kids. They are hoping to launch a Similar Programme with a broader impact when they have the funds. In the meantime they are doing what they can to fix a problem spanning several borders. What advice would you give to a child thinking of coming to salvador. I will tell them the truth, this is the law. This is what we tell our people, those are the facts. If you go, up to you. I cant tell you dont go. I only tell the parents, think twice. Lori jane gliha with us now. In talking to the ambassador, did you get a feel for what el salvadors position is, in relation to the money this the United States is offering.

The immediate problem, what to do with the kids, you mentioned flights to bring them home. Is this something that will happen quickly. Its an idea. I contacted the department of Homeland Security, they have not got back to me about my questions about what would happen. If they wanted to do it they need the permission of el salvador, and have passports or paperwork to get the kids back into the country. You heard the ambassador, but he said the country would not oppose this as long as it was carried out under the law that exists to protect children. He had three concerns, making sure that the kids wouldnt reunite with adults, a relative. Number two, making sure they are from el salvador, before being september back. You hate to have a kid from honduras september back. That has sent back. That has happened. And making sure theres an adult on the other end. Nothing is set in stone. There are not flight like this salvador. Lori jane gliha, following up on this story. A different set of challenges faces one of the Fastest Growing refugee groups ask in the United States.
