本研究考察了在移民率上升、经济衰退以及与移民相关的史无前例的地方立法之际，未经授权的移民身份对儿童福祉的影响。今天的移民家庭可能与过去不同，因为他们更有可能来自拉丁美洲或加勒比地区，其中包括空前数量的非法移民。此外，他们在历史上没有移民人口的目的地定居。这项研究通过对40个来自印第安纳州中北部新兴移民目的地的家庭的采访，帮助阐明了未经授权的移民身份对儿童福祉的影响。结果表明，未经授权的身份从个人延伸到家庭，混合身份的家庭情况给这些家庭带来了独特的挑战。更具体地说，这些结果显示了未经授权的移民身份可能影响家庭压力和不确定性、健康结果和教育程度的方式，并可能导致移民家庭中儿童更多的社会孤立。家事法庭社区的关键点：未经授权的移民身份通常被定义为个人特征，但可能有大量家庭具有授权和未经授权的身份家庭成员。这篇文章向从业者介绍了最近针对非法移民的州政策，以及现有的联邦政策，如何为拉美裔移民制造障碍，并对儿童和家庭福祉产生负面影响，无论个人的移民身份如何。未经授权的移民身份可能会影响家庭压力和不确定性，健康状况，教育程度，并可能导致移民家庭中儿童更多的社会孤立。
The present study examines the effect of unauthorized immigration status on child well-being at a time of elevated immigration rates, economic decline, and unprecedented local lawmaking related to immigration. Immigrant families today are likely to differ from those of the past in that they are more likely to be from Latin America or the Caribbean and include unprecedented numbers of unauthorized immigrants. In addition, they are settling in destinations that have not historically had immigrant populations. The present study draws on interviews with 40 families from an emerging immigrant destination in north central Indiana to help illuminate the ways in which unauthorized immigration status influences child well-being. Results illustrate that unauthorized status extends beyond the individual to families and that mixed-status family situations create unique challenges for these families. More specifically, these results show the ways in which unauthorized immigrant status may impact family stress and uncertainty, health outcomes, and educational attainment and may result in increased social isolation for children in immigrant families.Key Points for the Family Court Community:Unauthorized immigration status is typically defined as an individual characteristics, however there are likely to be large numbers of families with authorized and unauthorized status family members. These "mixed-status families" create unique challenges for families and children.This article informs practitioners about the ways in which recent state policies targeting unauthorized immigrants, in addition to existing federal policy, create barriers and negatively impact child and family well-being for Latino immigrants, regardless individual immigration status.Unauthorized immigration status may impact family stress and uncertainty, health outcomes, educational attainment, and may result in increased social isolation for children in immigrant families.
