Fear of gangs, rampant violence send Central American kids north - CBS News

Fear of gangs, rampant violence send Central American kids north - CBS News: "President Barack Obama was meeting Wednesday evening with congressional leaders on the surge of illegal immigrant children on the southern border.

On Wednesday a Pew Center poll found 53 percent of Americans support accelerating the legal deportation process while 38 percent want to stay with the current policy. There are nearly 9,000 illegal immigrant children in U.S. custody waiting for a hearing on whether they can stay.

Those children were part of a surge of 57,000 unaccompanied minors who have come from Central America since last October."
