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 help immigrant children from Honduras?

B

D
“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.”
