Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Migration Policy Institute released a fact sheet in 2016, stating that children born in the U.S. of a parent or parents who are undocumented immigrants, are placed at a severe disadvantage in life. This data was collected from 5.1 million children who are living with an unauthorized immigrant parent. Researchers found that these children are likely not to be enrolled in preschool, are likely to be held in a socioeconomic level that keeps them from developing and gaining access to resources, and are likely to fail in English proficiency that is necessary to move ahead in life. Place on top of that, the stress that their parent might be deported at any minute. These children are at risk, without a doubt. While U.S. policies on immigration and border control are hotly debated, this volume makes sure that we don't forget what's really at stake, the future of our young. Your readers are given the full breadth of perspectives on this topic, through eyewitness accounts, governmental views, scientific analysis, and newspaper accounts. Important details are pulled out from the text and presented in italicized font so that readers can track the facts, and refer to them for research and report writing. Most important of all, by reading balanced and well-researched entries, students will be able to form intelligent opinions on this pressing issue.

Book excerpt: How to best regulate immigration and treat immigrants--both those lawfully and unlawfully here--are hotly debated questions. To promote responsible action, the center recently proposed a common-sense set of principles to secure our borders and reform our immigration system. Now we turn our attention to a much smaller issue, perhaps one on which consensus may be more readily reached: How should the United States deal with undocumented children who are here through no fault of their own and have suffered abuse or neglect? Using Texas as a case study, this paper looks at who these children are and discusses why a blanket policy to send them home will not work. It also discusses how to improve the process through which these children can obtain legal residency. Finally, this paper explains how federal immigration and child welfare law should be aligned to ensure our country acts responsibly and that the federal government provides the necessary financial support to the states to care for this vulnerable population.

Book excerpt: In this dissertation I examine the lived experiences of 43 undocumented Mexican women working in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, particularly, the ways that these women navigate and make sense of what I identify as environments of vulnerability -social contexts characterized by local configurations of migrant "illegality" (a paradigm-in-progress). In Article 1, I analyze three in-depth interviews with undocumented Mexican domestics to understand how they use religious stories and symbols to help them make sense of and cope with the uncertainties and vulnerabilities they face living in the United States. Findings from this article indicate that women 1) draw from religious discourses to actively interact with their social environments and 2) construct narratives that allow them to create an alternative version of the social world and a coherent sense of self. These findings contribute to a nuanced understanding of the ways that religion shapes undocumented immigrant women's lives outside of religious institutions and religious contexts. In Article 2, I examine the strategies that 40 undocumented Mexican women use to mother in environments of vulnerability. Findings from this article reveal that these women use two key strategies to protect their children's well-being: 1) moving out of neighborhoods with undesirable "others" (i.e., the poor, Blacks, and "less worthy" Mexican immigrants) and 2) withholding information from their children regarding their legal status. These findings contribute to an increased understanding of the mothering practices of women who face multiple structural oppressions. Finally, in Article 3 I examine the factors that influence undocumented Mexican women's decisions to stay in the United States, even as they face the uncertainty associated with deportability -- that is, even as they traverse environments of vulnerability. Two factors primarily underlie women's decision to stay in the U.S.: the availability of quality public education and educational opportunities for their children and the fear that they or their children will be the targets of violence in Mexico. These findings add to research on family and migration and extend previous research to reveal how Mexican women and their children navigate the shifting terrain of state power as they build their lives in the United States.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Undocumented Mexican immigration is a growing phenomenon in the United States, and the challenges of educating immigrants' children are increasing. For that reason, this qualitative investigation was aimed at analyzing the perceptions of 10 undocumented Mexican immigrants about their children's education in the United States. Eight of the participants were women, and two of them were men. Most of them lived in poverty in Mexico. Most of them came from deprived social and educational environments, both from rural and urban communities. The participants were also unable to participate in open forums about their children's education, not only because of their undocumented status, but also because of their limited proficiency in their second language and their emergent process of acculturation. The participants' perceptions about their children's education in United States were based on their educational backgrounds. The participants with lower academic development focused their concepts about "good education" on the quantity of human, financial, physical, and educational resources available for their children. On the other hand, the participants with higher levels of education were more concerned about the general quality of education and their children's academic achievement. Yet, the low educational attainment of these participants in general did not allow them to appropriately critique the U.S. schools. Their scarce educational experiences in Mexico did not give the appropriate basis of judging the quality of their children's education. All in all, through this investigation, the researcher sought to add the voices of a fast-growing group of stakeholders in the educational system, that is, voices of undocumented parents, many of whose children are American citizens.

Book excerpt: Many undocumented migrants cross the Texas-Mexico border in search for a better, safer place every year. Although we cannot determine with certainty what motivates the migrants to risk their lives crossing the border, we can use skeletal methods to establish their nutritional and health status. Numerous studies have demonstrated that populations living in favorable socioeconomic environments in the early years of life show fewer stress markers in the adult skeleton. Thus, this study evaluated the health and socioeconomic status (SES) of 34 migrant remains found along the Texas-Mexico border by using relative leg length (LL*100/ST), crural index (TL*100/FPL) and the presence or absence of pathological conditions such as enamel hypoplasia, pathological ectocranial porosis and untreated caries lesions. This study has implications for understanding childhood and adult health histories, and why these migrants risked their lives crossing the border.
