Illegal Children Crossing The Border Drops In Texas

While the United States dealt with crises in Ukraine and the Middle East, one closer to home eased a little. 

Border Patrol agents in the Rio Grande Valley in Texas say they found fewer than 500 children crossing the border illegally last week. That's down from a high of 2,000 per week. A total of 57,000 have crossed since Oct. 1, 2013. 

The influx has strained the ability of the federal government to deal with it. President Obama meets Friday with the presidents of Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador — the sources of most of the illegal immigrants.
