The White House will ask Congress on Monday for more than $2 billion to address the increasing
number of unaccompanied minors traveling from Central America and illegally crossing the border
into the U.S., a White House official said.

The Obama Administration will urge lawmakers to pass emergency legislation to improve border
security, provide additional immigration judges and more quickly remove those who cross the
border illegally.

It will also ask Congress’s help in increasing penalties for human traffickers and expanding the
Department of Homeland Security’s discretion in processing unauthorized arrivals.
