迫切需要记录移民政策和做法对容易被父母驱逐出境的儿童的心理健康影响。很少有研究捕捉到美国公民儿童与移民执法的遭遇所产生的不同体验，更不用说分析心理健康结果以及这些结果出现的心理社会背景的方式了。我们探讨抑郁症的心理社会层面在美国公民儿童与无证墨西哥父母检查公民儿童之间的差异影响和不受父母驱逐出境。一个探索性的混合方法的设计被用来整合定量测量的抑郁症状（CDI-2）的定性数据收集与48个公民儿童年龄在8至15岁，有和没有父母驱逐出境的经验。在定性访谈中，公民儿童引起的压力包括无法与朋友沟通，对墨西哥的负面看法，经济困难，失去支持性的学校网络，与父母的关系紧张，暴力。50%的可能患有抑郁症的公民儿童（不考虑父母被驱逐出境的经历）引用了“与父母的关系紧张”，而没有抑郁症的儿童只有9%。与此相反，“支持性学校网络的损失”和“暴力”的主题提到几乎完全由公民儿童可能抑郁症和父母驱逐出境的影响。虽然遭受父母驱逐出境的公民儿童经历了与移民执法相关的最严重后果，但我们的研究结果还表明，心理健康问题的负担延伸到那些同时受到移民执法政策影响的儿童，这些政策针对他们的无证父母。
There is a critical need to document the mental health effects of immigration policies and practices on children vulnerable to parental deportation. Few studies capture the differential experiences produced by U.S. citizen-children’s encounters with immigration enforcement, much less in ways that analyze mental health outcomes alongside the psychosocial contexts within which those outcomes arise. We explore the psychosocial dimensions of depression in U.S. citizen-children with undocumented Mexican parents to examine differences between citizen-children affected and not affected by parental deportation. An exploratory mixed-method design was used to integrate a quantitative measure of depression symptoms (CDI-2) within qualitative data collected with 48 citizen-children aged 8 to 15 with and without experiences of parental deportation. Stressors elicited by citizen-children in the qualitative interview included an inability to communicate with friends, negative perceptions of Mexico, financial struggles, loss of supportive school networks, stressed relation with parent(s), and violence. Fifty percent of citizen-children with probable depression—regardless of experiences with parental deportation—cited “stressed relation with parents,” compared to 9% without depression. In contrast, themes of “loss of supportive school network” and “violence” were mentioned almost exclusively by citizen-children with probable depression and affected by parental deportation. While citizen-children who suffer parental deportation experience the most severe consequences associated with immigration enforcement, our findings also suggest that the burden of mental health issues extends to those children concomitantly affected by immigration enforcement policies that target their undocumented parents.
