前总统特朗普的当选以及随后的反移民政策举措，给无证移民带来了前所未有的不确定感。对于那些通过前总统奥巴马于2012年签署的儿童入境延期行动（DACA）行政行动而经历了扩大机会的人来说，情况尤其如此。我们使用与无证年轻人的深入访谈，探讨如何2016年总统选举和2017年行政行动，废除DACA引起的情绪预期损失，包括悲伤和悲伤，本体论的不安全感，包括焦虑和不确定性。我们采用一种解释性和社会建构主义的方法来探讨这些情绪及其影响，展示了即使是政策变化的威胁也会影响移民年轻人的社会融合。我们说明如何DACA收件人概念化的损失，以及如何这些经验表现在教育程度，劳动力市场的纳入，归属感，和公民参与。我们的研究提供了一个创新的贡献，实时解释的纳入轨迹，通过生活在不稳定的法律的地位的情绪。
Former President Trump's election and subsequent anti-immigrant policy initiatives brought an unprecedented sense of uncertainty for undocumented immigrants. This is particularly true for those who had experienced expanding opportunities through the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) executive action signed by former President Obama in 2012. We use in-depth interviews with undocumented young adults to explore how the 2016 presidential election and 2017 executive action that rescinded DACA evoked emotions of anticipatory loss-including sadness and grief-and ontological insecurity-including anxiety and uncertainty. We adopt an interpretive and social constructionist approach to explore these emotions and their implications, demonstrating how even the threat of policy change impacts immigrant young adults' societal incorporation. We illustrate how DACA recipients conceptualized loss and how these experiences manifested in educational attainment, labor market incorporation, feelings of belonging, and civic participation. Our study provides an innovative contribution to interpret in real-time the incorporation trajectories through the emotions of living with precarious legal status.
