Our Children's Fear: Immigration Policy's Effects on Young Children
Cervantes, Wendy; Ullrich, Rebecca; Matthews, Hannah
Center for Law and Social Policy, Inc. (CLASP)
This report documents how the current immigration context is affecting the nation's youngest children, under age eight, based on interviews and focus groups in 2017 with more than 150 early childhood educators and parents in six states--California, Georgia, Illinois, New Mexico, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania. This study was motivated by widespread reports that children and families are being harmed by the Trump Administration's immigration policy priorities. This report documents impacts on young children of immigrants, whether their parents have some form of lawful immigration status or are undocumented. [For the companion report, see "Immigration Policy's Harmful Impacts on Early Care and Education" (ED582817).]
