After the philanthropy of Microsoft and Angelina Jolie, John Malkovich has taken to making a movie on unaccompanied minor children in the United States.

The Guelph Mercury (Canada) reports:

John Malkovich is so touched by the plight of migrant children who cross illegally into the United States that he plans to make a documentary about it. The actor and director says the documentary, which will be titled Triple Crossing, will seek to humanize the issue of illegal migration. Malkovich says the film will be produced by Canana Films, a production company owned by Mexican actors Diego Luna and Gael Garcia Bernal. Malkovich, of Burn After Reading, is in Mexico directing the play The Good Canary. Luna, of The Terminal and Y Tu Mama Tambien, interprets the play's lead character, writer Jack Parker. 

A new study released shows that about 43,000 children are removed from the United States annually and a large number are mistreated while in custody, transported home unsafely and denied access to representation.

While unaccompanied minors are not necessarily the target group eligible for the DREAM Act, (which is fueled by the principle that children had no choice in being brought to this country), if they survive detection, detention and deportation, they can also adjust status via the DREAM Act.
