The answer is indeed letter B) It emphasizes the potential risks many immigrants face.
Explanation:
In her article "The Children of the Drug Wars", Sonia Nazario explores how insensitive the process of deportation can be. Written in 2014, the article aims to convey to readers the author's concern. Governmental policy treated the situation back then as an immigration crisis, but Nazario believed it to be a refugee crisis. Kids weren't merely immigrating to the United States for the usual reasons; they were fleeing due to drug wars and violence. The policy of deportation would only send them back to a gruesome reality.
