Long read: FT reporters speak to the immigrants and the Americans who are torn over their fate. The Financial Times.

Is Vermont the solution? "It's perhaps unsurprising that the state would be willing to help. Sen. Patrick Leahy (D) has been a vocal proponent of immigration reform — as has fellow Vermonter Sen. Bernie Sanders (I.). The fact that their constituency back in Vermont is a big part of that support is less well known; about 1,500 undocumented immigrants live in Vermont, many working on dairy farms. About 80 percent of Vermont's farm production is just milk. There used to be more cows in Vermont than people. Most of these migrant workers spend their day milking or shoveling manure." Jaime Fuller in The Washington Post.

Explainer: What 10 governors are saying about housing undocumented immigrant children in their states. Niraj Chokshi in The Washington Post.

HHS shepherds 'border children' through the system. "Once in HHS custody, the children are given medical and mental health examinations, screened for tuberculosis and provided with all needed vaccinations....Those with communicable diseases or exposure to them are placed in a facility with quarantine capabilities. Those with mental health problems are also placed in a special facility. The steady flow of Central American children has forced HHS to open three temporary shelters that collectively house about 3,000 youngsters....Most of the youngsters, however, are housed through a system of state-licensed, HHS-funded care providers across the country. These facilities provide a range of care options....They also provide classroom education, health care, socialization services, vocational training, mental health services and access to legal services." Tony Pugh in McClatchy Newspapers.
