The trauma from violence migrants experience in their home countries and the trauma detained immigrants face in the detention centers are more intensely experienced by the younger adolescents who live through these experiences. We've talked about the impact moving to a new country has on the mental health of immigrants and I think this effects the foreign born youth the most. In A Country that Welcomes Migration they talk about a policy know as Primero La Ninez, which Colombia extended to Venezuelan migrants to help refugees and as soon as they step on Colombian soil they guarantee food, lodging and transportation to get people to work. They give children the opportunity to attend pubic school and receive medical care for their children and themselves in Colombia that they wouldn't get in Venezuela. This, which was all begun by the leaders of Colombia, they initiated this and that's what needs to be done in the United States. In Tijuana children of migrants are given a learning space so that they can heal and just be themselves there as they wait to be admitted to the U.S to claim asylum under MPP. We need more spaces like this, so that children not only are told, but believe that they have dreams they will be able to go after and that this rough patch they've encountered isn't going to get in the way, it's just a bump in the road that'll be over soon. In El Paso, Texas migrant shelters are working to make their shelters more accommodating to the needs and stress of children experiences so because the influx of asylum seekers isn't stopping soon it's important that the shelters that hold these asylum seekers be welcoming, so children have some positivity and good during these experiences to lessen the impact on their lives. Reading up on the way other places are working to support asylum seekers and refugees gives me more hope that one day their suffering will end, but it's just a matter of when that'll be exactly. There are dangers of children being put into these circumstances and there needs to be more done to combat this and lessen the suffering.
