“…However, immigrants from all Central American countries combined have been hit harder in terms of percent increase: from 75,529 in 2017 to 114,956 in 2019—a 53% surge. Because men are usually the primary income resource in immigrant families (Das Gupta, 2014), families of Latino men are disproportionally affected by these arrests both psychologically and financially. Given that men have a longer history of migration—the feminization of migration is relatively recent (De Leon Siantz, 2013)—the present work focused primarily on male migrants, particularly those from Latin American countries.…”

Researchers in diverse fields such as psychology, sociology, anthropology, and geography have extensivly researched push and pull factors that lead to human migrations (Castles et al., 2014) and the political and economic consequences that migrations have on both sending and receiving countries (Golash-Boza, 2015). However, experimental investigations of the social categorization of citizenship or legal status are scarce. Given the incidence of hate crimes against immigrants of color and reports of racial profiling of American citizens of color falsely categorized as undocumented immigrants, research on skin tone, perceptions of immigration status, and immigration policy is both timely and important. The purpose of the current study was to explore whether people's skin tone affects how perceivers categorize their immigration and legal status and the potential link between perceivers' support for stringent immigration policies and specific patterns of categorization. Results suggest that people with brown (vs white or black) skin were more likely to be perceived as undocumented immigrants and that perceivers' ratings of an individual with brown skin as more likely to be an undocumented immigrant predicted higher levels of support for harsh immigration policies. Taken together, the findings offer new insight into the importance of skin tone and its impact on the separation and stratification of people, informing research on intergroup relations, support for policy, and, importantly, social justice. Practical and political implications for judgments influenced by the social categorization based on skin tone are discussed.

“…While several compelling qualitative studies suggest that state policy moderates the impact of federal immigration law (Cebulko & Silver, 2016;Martinez, 2014) and other studies have estimated the direct impact of state policies on unauthorized immigrants (De Trinidad Young et al, 2018;Flores, 2009), more research is needed to explore the propositions raised by this research: to understand how and why states may moderate the impact of federal immigration law for the integration of children in mixed-status families. While other studies demonstrate that the unauthorized experience varies by, for example, gender, race, and stage in the life course (Das Gupta, 2014;Flores & Schachter, 2018;Golash-Boza & Hondagneu-Sotelo, 2013), we suggest that attention to how the interaction between immigration policy, federal and state social policies, and individual characteristics would help further articulate the disadvantages of unauthorized immigration status.…”

“…The Secure Communities Program and 287(g) agreements enabled collaboration between federal immigration agents and local law enforcement. These efforts have led some unauthorized immigrants to feel unsafe participating in their communities, undermining community-based social networks, and have eviscerated trust between immigrants and local police (Das Gupta, 2014;Hagan, Rodriguez, & Castro, 2011).…”

“…Deportation sends family life into upheaval. Men, especially Latino and Black men, are vastly overrepresented among deported people (Das Gupta, 2014;Golash-Boza & Hondagneu-Sotelo, 2013). The deportation of fathers creates "suddenly single mothers" who frequently suffer severe economic consequences due to the loss of the primary wage earner (Dreby, 2012: 837;Chaudry et al, 2010;Hagan, Castro, & Rodriguez, 2009).…”

Growing up Without Status: The Integration of Children in Mixed‐Status Families

Over the past three decades, a central new challenge confronting millions of children of immigrants has emerged: growing up in a mixed‐status family in which at least one member lacks legal authorization to live and work in the United States. A body of recent research argues that unauthorized immigrant status is the fundamental determinant of integration for unauthorized immigrants, with intergenerational consequences for their U.S.‐born children. We discuss the immigration and other policies that create the particular social context within which unauthorized immigration status becomes so detrimental for integration. Specifically, we focus on federal and state policies that undermine the very factors thought to protect children and support the integration of new generations of Americans: families and social networks, economic resources and opportunities, and health. We conclude with recommendations for future research.

“…In this study, I examined the experiences of the children of Salvadoran immigrant fathers in the U.S. and the children of deported fathers in El Salvador as they navigated harmful changes in their lives and relationships at the hands of U.S. immigration policies and enforcement practices. Most Salvadoran fathers in this study believed that immigration laws and enforcement practices not only had a harmful effect on their own lives but also on their children's lives, relationships, and life opportunities (Abrego, 2014; Das Gupta, 2014; Salazar Parreñas, 2008; Boodram, 2018). As mentioned, scholars have reported that immigration policies and enforcement practices targeting immigrant adults have also extended into the lives of their children in the form of multigenerational punishments (Dreby, 2012; Enriquez, 2015; Ojeda et al., 2020).…”

Drawing on qualitative research conducted in the United States and in El Salvador, the author examines the experiences of the children of 40 immigrant men and 40 deported men. This study reveals the harmful effects of U.S. immigration policies and enforcement practices on the children of Salvadoran immigrant and deported fathers. Their children were found to have experienced the unintended consequences of U.S. immigration laws and enforcement practices in their own lives and relationships. These findings support Enriquez's (2015) concept of “multigenerational punishments” where children of immigrant parents share the risks and limitations associated with their parent's immigration status. They also experience the negative spill‐over effects of immigration policies and enforcement practices even though they were not directly targeted by these laws. This study reveals multigenerational punishments manifested in the form of social, economic, emotional, and physical inequalities which negatively affected the children of Salvadoran immigrant and deported fathers. As a result, many of their children experienced harmful changes in their lives and relationships under the U.S. immigration enforcement regime. This study is significant in that it provides insight into the issues that immigrant families face and the need for policy interventions for immigrant and deported parents and their children.
