Unaccompanied children at the border. What is the scam here?

Why the recent flood of unaccompanied children at the border? Laura Logan just did a story on this and recently there has been a 122% increase.
Laura never explained why but I'm guessing here minors or children get a free and quick pass across the border where adults don't.
Now with this quick and free pass with no return back to Mexico do they now get to "chain migrate" the rest of their immediate family from Central America?
I'm guessing this is the trick and their parents back in Central America are in on it and forcing their children to make the journey hoping to be able to chain migrate or be united with their children.

The Biden administration will allow families separated at the southern border by the Trump administration to reunite and remain in the U.S., the White House announced Monday.
“We are hoping to reunite the families, either here or in their country of origin. We hope to be in a position to give them the election. And if, in fact they seek to reunite here in the United States, we will explore lawful pathways for them to remain in the United States, and to address the family needs,” Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said at a press briefing.
“We are acting as restoratively as possible.”
Mayorkas, head of the family reunification task force established by President Biden, said his administration has thus far reunited 105 families.
Immigration advocates have argued that the Biden administration needs to not only just reunite families, but also seek to compensate those harmed under the Trump administration.
“We applaud Secretary Mayorkas’ commitment to remedy the torture and abuse of families who were separated from their children in immigration proceedings. Of course, the devil is in the details and Secretary Mayorkas has to shed all the caveats and qualifications around his announcement and follow through with everything that’s necessary to right the wrong," American Civil Liberties Union Executive Director Anthony Romero said in a statement, comparing Trump's "zero tolerance policy" that resulted in the separations to Japanese-American internment during World War II.
