*** Is too big and can not deal individually phenomenon that is impossible, do it together, united all countries because it requires confront and defeat organized crime, said the president.



Tegucigalpa, Honduras.

President Juan Orlando Hernández revealed Wednesday in Tegucigalpa, in his opening address to the International Conference on Migration, Children and Family, "we already know many of the causes that are causing the humanitarian crisis of unaccompanied minors who do the dangerous journey to United States, so it is necessary to move forward in the search and decision-making. "

"For every nine unaccompanied children make the dangerous journey to the United States seven out of Honduran areas with more violence ... They are children living where there is more drug traffic in the country ... That proves the increased flow migration in numbers never before seen, "he said.

It's too big a phenomenon and can not deal individually, that's impossible, do it together, united all countries because it requires us to confront and defeat organized crime, reduce the levels of corruption in the state, develop the level of production and the reduction of inequalities- he warned.

Hernandez, who led the initiative to convene this international conference, reported that people smugglers ("coyotes"), conducted a disinformation campaign in which they make migrants believe that they will be allowed to remain in the United States and as reunification with their families.

"And so I promise them that they will get work and we all know that's not true," he said, later adding: "To solve this problem you should go to the root of the problem; patch  will not solve anything, you have to accept this is a shared responsibility of all countries."

We can not ignore the drama that takes the phenomenon of migration, especially in children and youth demands a new way to deal with it. "It is a collective phenomenon that brings despair and hopelessness" said Hernandez.

"This requires a different approach for all of us to think and act decisively and with greater levels of cooperation among all countries. Look at these figures: between July 2013 and July 2014 there was an increase of 1,670% of people entering the United States as children and unaccompanied youth of Central America. "  Hondudiario.
