520 "Immigrants Raising Citizens challenges conventional
wisdom about undocumented immigrants, viewing them not as
lawbreakers or victims, but as the parents of citizens
whose adult productivity will be essential to the nation's
future. The book's findings are based on data from a three
-year study of 380 infants from Dominican, Mexican,
Chinese, and African American families, which included in-
depth interviews, in-home child assessments, and parent
surveys. The book shows that undocumented parents share
three sets of experiences that distinguish them from legal
-status parents and may adversely influence their
children's development: avoidance of programs and
authorities, isolated social networks, and poor work
conditions. Fearing deportation, undocumented parents
often avoid accessing valuable resources that could help
their children's development--such as access to public
programs and agencies providing child care and food
subsidies. At the same time, many of these parents are
forced to interact with illegal entities such as smugglers
or loan sharks out of financial necessity. Undocumented
immigrants also tend to have fewer reliable social ties to
assist with child care or share information on child-
rearing. Compared to legal-status parents, undocumented
parents experience significantly more exploitive work
conditions, including long hours, inadequate pay and
raises, few job benefits, and limited autonomy in job
duties. These conditions can result in ongoing parental
stress, economic hardship, and avoidance of center-based
child care--which is directly correlated with early skill
development in children. The result is poorly developed
cognitive skills, recognizable in children as young as two
years old, which can negatively impact their future school
performance and, eventually, their job prospects.
Immigrants Raising Citizens has important implications for
immigration policy, labor law enforcement, and the
structure of community services for immigrant families. In
addition to low income and educational levels,
undocumented parents experience hardships due to their
status that have potentially lifelong consequences for
their children. With nothing less than the future
contributions of these children at stake, the book
presents a rigorous and sobering argument that the price
for ignoring this reality may be too high to pay."--From
