Article Introduction

In the New York Times, there's an article by Ron Nixon titled, U.S. Loses Track of Another 1,500 Migrant Children, Investigators Find. The article's topic of discussion is when migrant families cross United States borders illegally. Minors are then held within state custody until released to their sponsors. The Department of Health and Human Services are responsible for running background checks and following up with sponsors after placing children within their care. However, the problem arises when the children become untraceable. It creates a problem for migrant children leaving loopholes for such issues as human trafficking and or abusive families.

This article is an inspiration for people to pay attention to our government. It lacks protection within our nation. Whether you're a citizen or immigrant, security should be equal. The article impacts young viewers because this is what they have to look forward to in the future, and the parameters need to be adjusted. This article impacts older viewers because this will impact their children with security in the U.S. Foreigners whether their immigrants or not, the U.S. doesn't seem very promising on protecting "both foreign and domestic." Others can argue that the United States is one of the safest places a person can be to find peace and protection by our government. Overall the article doesn’t criticize but gives insight into today’s issues and another word for problems.
