New York City officials have formed a task force in response to the surging population of unaccompanied migrant children from Central America who have arrived in the city in recent months and swamped community-based groups in search of help for their deportation cases, health issues, school enrollment and other urgent needs.

Since last October, federal officials have sent more than 3,200 child migrants to the city and elsewhere in the state to reunite with relatives or to live with guardians, and about 7,000 more are expected to follow in the coming months, according to immigrants’ advocates and others who have been briefed by federal authorities.

1. I posted in NJ Group this morning

It's not to this point yet - but Christie (whom I detest) has given that signal that we (NJ) should be helping too.

I'm the first to say that NJ is a mess - but we have the money and resources to help these kids out in the North East that poorer states just don't have.
