Many immigrant Latino families have one or more U.S. -born children and at least one foreign-born non-citizen child. Contextual theories of human development would argue that these siblings would have very different life trajectories by virtue of their citizenship status or lack thereof. However, researchers and policy-makers know very little about the home environment of mixed-status siblings. Using data from in-depth personal interviews, this study examined parental perceptions of the life trajectories of mixed-status youth. Participants were 18 parents with at least one adolescent between the ages of 10–18 residing at home. Using grounded theory, two broad themes emerged. First, parental perceptions of children’s life trajectories based on citizenship and parental concerns’ regarding their children’s mixed legal status. Within this first theme, parents discussed youth’s educational opportunities, job prospects, health care access, and travel restrictions. The second theme was parental concerns’ about their children’s citizenship status; ambivalence about migrating to the United States; and coping with fear and anxiety. Results of this study highlight the pervasive influence of immigration policies and practices on family dynamics and child development, the risk they posit to youth development and individual family resilience. Little is known about how the absence of legal authorization to reside in the U.S. undocumented status affects developmental outcomes across life domains and stages. Parents of children without legal authorization to reside in the U.S. view “school” or educational advancement as a “Pipeline to Nowhere”. Children’s access to basic health care differs for children with and without legal authorization to reside in the U.S. Parents, regardless of their documentation status, see better life chances for children with legal authorization to reside in the U.S. relative to undocumented children. Political debates about the merits of the Deferred Action for Child Arrivals (DACA) overlook the developmental harm to the health and development of undocumented children.
