The cost of keeping undocumented minors in the U.S.

The influx of unaccompanied minors across the southern border has mounted pressure for reform, but executive action on the issue has slowed. Jeffrey Brown talks to Thomas Hodgson, sheriff of Bristol County, who has overseen the placement of 989 unaccompanied minors in his region, to discuss the exploitation many of these children encounter.
