President Barack Obama asked Congress on Tuesday for an additional 3.7 billion dollars for "aggressive" action to deal with the surge of unaccompanied children flooding into the United States, dpa reported. White House officials told reporters that federal agencies need more money to help send the children back to their home countries as quickly as possible. Most of the 52,000 unaccompanied minors caught since October - double the number at this time last year - are from Central America, with some children as young as 5. -- SPA 23:14 LOCAL TIME 20:14 GMT تغريد
