Question

The text repeats the word children. How does this

repetition serve the author's purpose?
Read the excerpt from "Children of the Drug Wars."
To ensure this isn't a sham process, asylum officers
and judges must be trained in child-sensitive
interviewing techniques to help elicit information from
fearful, traumatized youngsters. All children must also
be represented by a volunteer or government-funded
lawyer. Kids in Need of Defense, a nonprofit that
recruits pro bono lawyers to represent immigrant
children and whose board I serve on, estimates that 40
percent to 60 percent of these children potentially
qualify to stay under current immigration laws and do,
if they have a lawyer by their side. The vast majority do
not. The only way to ensure we are not hurtling children
back to circumstances that could cost them their lives is
by providing them with real due process.
