 ch the U.S.” \n\nIn recent years\, the U.S. has seen an influx of unaccomp
 anied children from Central America fleeing violence and extreme poverty i
 n their home countries.  For many Americans\, it is difficult to understan
 d what circumstances cause a child to leave their home and family behind t

 hese children away from their countries of origin and their journeys into 
 the U.S.\n\nThe panel begins by examining the cultural context and conditi
 ons of the three Northern Triangle countries—and Guatemala in particular—f
 rom which so many children are fleeing.  Next\, the panel will focus on mi
 grant children’s journey to the U.S. and how they are processed and then r
 esettled after they cross into the U.S.  Finally\, the panelists will come
  full circle by describing their struggles to regularize their immigration
  status in this country while providing insight on pathways for these kids
  to immigrate legally before they even leave home.\n\nOur panel features a
