Think of Undocumented Immigrants as Parents, Not Problems
Roberto Suro and Marcelo M. Suárez- Orozco highlight this statistic in an op/ed in the New York Times: "Now at least one of every 15 children living in the United States has an unauthorized parent, and nearly all of those children are native-born United States citizens."
In a recent report, the authors assessed more than 50 research studies of the children of unauthorized immigrants conducted by scholars in a variety of fields. This growing body of work shows that fear and uncertainty breed difficulties that manifest themselves in delayed cognitive development, lower educational performance and clinical levels of anxiety.
