The wave of unaccompanied minors that is causing the humanitarian crisis at U.S. borders is all to often being dealt with by sending planeloads of children and families back to Central America, according to reports. And what's even more disturbing is that those same reports say that anywhere from five to 10 children who were returned to the violence-plagued country of Honduras may have been murdered since their deportation from the U.S. 

San Pedro Sula, Honduras, a city where as many as 40 people were deported to after being caught crossing into the United States,had 187 killings per 100,000 inhabitants in 2013, according to a Pew Research Center report on data from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Honduras is, in fact, one of the most violent places on earth, with a homicide rate that was 90 per 100,000 just a year earlier. The violence is mainly due to gang activity, but is also related to incredibly high rates of drug trafficking.

Reports say that at least three times a week, the U.S. is flying children who crossed over the Mexico border back to their homes.

Alternet.org reported, "Morgue director Hector Hernandez told the Los Angeles Times that the San Pedro Sula morgue had taken in 42 dead children since February."  

The government, although deadlocked on comprehensive immigration reform, has been pushing ahead with a way to send recent immigrants -- specifically Central American children -- back to their home countries.

One teenager was shot to death after recently arriving back home following his deportation, according to reports. The killing is part of the problem in which they are being driven to the U.S., and the wave of violence in their home countries is something that the government is all too aware of. It is also something government officials like to say they are dealing with, but those who are in the trenches with recently deported youth are skeptical, reports said.

Honduran President Ana Garcia de Hernandez said her government was focusing on new programs, saying they are "aimed at improving the lives of those who are sent back and giving others a reason to stay."  

The White House has contributed $18.5 million to help fund policing efforts in Honduras, and to fight the gangs that many unaccompanied children are fleeing when they set out for the United States, but unfortunately return to when they are deported.
