In the face of two decades of ever-restrictive immigration policies that have led to increased family disruption due to expansive deportations, this study examines how impacted families cope. Exploring the issue through a family systems theory lens, researchers found that in addition to restructuring family dynamics, those impacted also experience economic and familial tensions. The need to develop cultural and trauma-informed interventions for immigrant families in response is also discussed.
A national survey was conducted to look at the experiences of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients. Findings indicated that DACA recipients have contributed to contribute to the economy and society with 91.7% of respondents specifying that they are employed or in school. A specific finding from this survey found that the recent policy changes made by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) could negatively impact the progress made by recipients of DACA. These new DHS policy changes include rejecting new applicants and only allowing one-year renewals. The validity of the memo detailing the new DHS policy updates is a part of an ongoing litigation.
Every year of the Trump Administration the number of uninsured children in the United States has increased. The largest annual increase in more than a decade was seen between 2018 and 2019 when the number of uninsured children grew by 320,000. It is noted that this data was collected before the pandemic so the number of children without health insurance is expected to be significantly higher in 2020. Latino children were found to have faced one of the largest increases in coverage loss.
The Immigrant & Refugee Families Research Team from the University of Minnesota Department of Family Social Science interviewed 19 community-based non-profit health and human services providers that work with immigrant and refugee families in urban and rural Minnesota. These interviews were conducted from June through August of 2020. The main objective of the study was to provide findings to policymakers and community agencies that work with immigrant families so that they can better inform their developing policies. Particular areas that their report focuses on includes resilience, job loss/effects of losing employment, housing, health (as it relates to COVID and overall health), family relationships, coping, distance learning, and access/cost of food.
The fear surrounding immigration enforcement in American communities is far-reaching. This report demonstrates the consequences of such concerns for Latino youth’s mental health while also concentrating on support factors of spirituality and family relationships as potential sources of resilience.
While health insurance coverage for children has expanded thanks to federal and state legislation over the past ten years, differences in access to care among non-white populations persist.
