Synthesis Matrix: Child Migration

Why are So Many Children Coming to the U.S. From Central America in the First Place? (Schwartz, 2018)
ISSOP Position Statement on Migrant Child Health (ISSOP Migration Working Group, 2018)
Push and Pull Factors Affecting Children in Migration (UNICEF Innocenti, 2016)
The reasons children leave their homes are multilayered.
“Experts tend to divide the things driving Central Americans to flee into two groups: economic factors and violence and insecurity. The first group includes the lack of economic opportunity, including a lack of jobs or inadequate opportunities for education. The second group includes violence and victimization, not just by gangs, other criminal groups and state security forces but at home as well” (Schwartz, 2018, Mixed Economic and Violence-related Motives section, para. 5).
“In studies on unaccompanied child migrants by the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and sociologist Matthew Lorenzen, most of those interviewed mentioned lack of opportunities at homein ways that were intertwined with anxiety about crime and insecurity” (Schwartz, 2018, Mixed Economic and Violence-related Motives section, para. 7).
“The reasons children leave their homes, with or without their families, are diverse. Some are seeking safety, others are rejoining family that have migrated, and yet others are searching for better life opportunities. Forced displacement is a major driving factor, with children accounting for one fourth of the 65 million forcibly displaced people worldwide (UNHCR, 2016a). Persecution, armed conflict, generalized violence, climate change, man-made disasters, and human rights violations are the main reasons for forced displacement (UNHCR, 2016a). While children make up 13% of migrants across the globe, fully one half of refugees and 40% of internally displaced people are children (UNICEF, 2016)” (ISSOP Migration Working Group, 2018, p. 162).
“The reasons are usually complicated and multifaceted” (UNICEF Innocenti, 2016, 01:18).
Children sometimes migrate “because their parents have already migrated before.” (UNICEF Innocenti, 2016, 01:41).
The commonly discussed drivers are “violence, poverty, and family connection.” (UNICEF Innocenti, 2016, 04:08).
“Staying home is a worse thing to do” (UNICEF Innocenti, 2016, 08:16).

Source # 1: Canada to ban the import of handguns, official says.
Byline: Amanda Coletta
TORONTO – The Canadian government is planning to ban the import of handguns into the country, according to a government official, the latest in a series of gun-control measures to be implemented under Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
The move, which is to be announced Friday, comes after the government introduced a bill in May that would implement a “national freeze” on buying, importing, selling and transferring handguns – effectively capping the number of such weapons already in the country at the current level, but not banning them outright.
The new measure will allow Ottawa to ban handgun imports without having to wait for Parliament, which is on a summer break until September, to pass that legislation. It’s expected to come into effect in two weeks, the official said, shortening the window for gun stores to amass merchandise.
Local media have reported that handgun sales have skyrocketed since Trudeau’s government announced the freeze, prompting some lawmakers to express concern about a run on handguns from legal gun owners looking to stock up before the legislation passed.
The official spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly on the matter. Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino and Foreign Minister Mélanie Joly are scheduled to make an announcement “on the government’s ongoing efforts to keep our communities safe from gun violence” at a Catholic school in Etobicoke, Ontario, at 10:30 a.m. Friday.
Gun control enjoys broad support here. But critics say the focus on limiting handgun ownership unfairly targets law-abiding owners while doing little to stamp out the root problem: guns smuggled illegally across the border.
Toronto’s police chief said in November that roughly 80% of the firearms involved in gun violence in Canada’s most populous city come from the United States, which he noted has a significant gun culture, making it a “very difficult” issue to address.
“The biggest problem we have in the city is the volume of guns coming across border,” Chief James Ramer said.
The government legislation, known as C-21, also includes “red flag” laws that would allow judges to temporarily remove firearms from people deemed to be a danger to themselves or others, the removal of gun licenses from people who have committed domestic violence and stiffer penalties for gun smuggling and trafficking.
Canada imported more than $28.2 million in revolvers and pistols in 2021, according to government data, with two-thirds of that volume coming from the United States. Total imports were up 7.7% from the previous year, but down from a recent peak of $34.7 million in 2018.
Mass shootings are relatively rare here compared to in the United States, but the rate of firearm-related homicides has increased since 2013, according to data from Statistics Canada.
The government statistics agency reported that more than 60% of gun-related violent crime in urban centers in 2020 involved handguns. But it also said there were “many gaps” and limitations in the data, including on the “source of firearms used in crime” and “whether a gun used in crime was stolen, illegally purchased or smuggled into the country.” No province requires investigators to send guns used in crimes for tracing.
The Canada Border Services Agency said it seized 1,203 firearms from 2021 to 2022. In May, a Yorkshire terrier named Pepper thwarted an attempt to smuggle 11 handguns across the border from Michigan to Ontario using a six-rotor drone.
Some 2.2 million people in Canada are licensed firearms owners, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police reported in 2020, and more than 1.1 million firearms are registered.
Trudeau’s government pledged stiffer gun-control measures during the federal election campaign last year.
In 2020, Trudeau announced a ban on 1,500 makes and models of “military-style assault weapons,” after a gunman posing as a police officer rampaged across Nova Scotia over two weekend days, setting structures ablaze and killing 22 people, including a Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer, in Canada’s deadliest mass shooting.
Last week, the government outlined how much it is proposing to compensate gun owners who turn in those weapons under a mandatory buyback program.
During hearings in a public inquiry this year on the “causes, context and circumstances” of the Nova Scotia attack, evidence was presented on the origin of the shooter’s large cache of weapons.
Gabriel Wortman, a denturist, did not possess a firearms license and obtained his weapons illegally. The commission heard that there were “two, and potentially three,” instances in which police received information about his access to firearms. Little, if anything, was done, according to testimony.
Several of the weapons were traced and sourced to gun stores in Maine. A friend there told police that Wortman took one or more of the guns without his knowledge or permission, while he gave the shooter a Ruger P89 “as a sign of gratitude” for his help with “tree removals and other odd jobs at his residence.”
An AR-15 came from a gun shop in California, but Wortman first saw it at a gun show in Maine and another person bought it for him. Witnesses told police after the shooting that Wortman would disassemble the firearms and roll them up in his pickup truck’s payload cover to smuggle them across the border.
Wortman was shot to death by Royal Canadian Mounted Police at a service area in Enfield, Nova Scotia, ending his rampage. Police have not charged any of the individuals who helped him obtain the weapons, including those who might have broken U.S. laws.
Source # 2. :Letter: Canada should totally ban all private ownership of firearms
Chronic mass shootings in the United States, six-year olds shooting their teachers, and four-year olds in diapers brandishing pistols, strongly suggest that the veneer of civilization is often dangerously thin.
To strengthen the fabric of our part of civilization, Canada must completely abandon private gun ownership. Police and military organizations must be closely regulated, well-trained, and taught the meaning and use of minimum force.
Target shooters need to find another hobby because a firearm doesn’t know the difference between a target and a person; a legal gun owner ceases to be so when that person fires upon another person.
Guns are not toys. Those who sell realistic toy guns simply normalize an irrational gun culture and put children at risk. To police under duress, a toy gun may be indistinguishable from a real one with deadly consequences.
First Nations peoples and those with a demonstrable need to live off the land should be temporarily exempt as long as they are closely regulated and well-trained.
Eventually, as our population grows, the number of hunters will exceed the carrying capacity of the land and all hunting will be forced to cease.
And who needs stores selling swords, knives, and other paraphernalia clearly intended as weapons useless for carving the festive turkey?

The StarPhoenix welcomes letters to the editor. Here’s what you need to know about how to write one in a way that will increase the odds it will be published.
Letters to the Editor:
. Letters should be limited to 250 words and the shorter the letter is, the better chance it has at being published.

. Include the text of the letter within the body of an email, not inside an attachment.
. Open letters addressed to someone other than the editor will not be accepted and letters should be original works, sent only to the StarPhoenix. (And let us know if you also sent it to our sister paper, the Regina Leader-Post.) Letters of provincial focus may also be published in the Leader-Post. Letters may also appear online prior to their publication in the print edition.
. To allow for a diverse group of voices, we will usually only publish one letter per month from a writer.

Some letter-writing tips:
. The best letters focus on one idea or situation and express a distinct opinion about it.
. Ensure your letter is clear, fact-based and current and try to add a new viewpoint to the discussion.
. Avoid gimmicks like all caps and the overuse of dashes, parentheses, unnecessary quotation marks and exclamation points. One exclamation point per letter is plenty!
