Which statement best supports the author’s purpose in "children of the drug wars,” which is to persuade readers that the united states should do more to immigrant children from honduras?

“three years ago, about 6,800 children were detained by united states immigration authorities and placed in federal custody; this year, as many as 90,000 children are expected to be picked up.”
“these children are facing threats similar to the forceful conscription of child soldiers by warlords in sudan or during the civil war in bosnia. being forced to sell drugs by narcos is no different from being forced into military service.”
“judges, who currently deny seven in 10 applications for asylum by people who are in deportation proceedings, must better understand the conditions these children are facing.”
“by deporting them directly from the refugee centers, the united states would discourage future non-refugees by showing that immigrants cannot be caught and released, and then avoid deportation by ignoring court orders to attend immigration hearings.
