From 2013 to 2014, more than 66,000 children and adolescents, unaccompanied by their parents, made journeys from urban and rural areas of México and Central America and arrived in the United States in search of safety and educational opportunities. To date, various local, state, and federal agencies, as well as community and faith-based organizations, are collaborating on humanitarian efforts to ensure the safety, well-being, and education of young people who are newcomers to the U.S. Following the recent surge in border crossings, some municipalities have begun government proceedings to unwelcome children and minors if they are labeled as immigrant. In 1994, the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) issued the Resolution on Proposition 187 in response to California's Proposition 187, which denied educational and social services to undocumented immigrants, specifically those of Latino origin. This proposed resolution builds on similar resolutions affirmed over the past two decades. Now is the time for NCTE to advocate for the dignities and rights of young people crossing the border, particularly those who cross alone.
