“…Prior research describes the impact of various factors such as race (Alper et al, 2016), caregiving styles among various cultures (Wang et al, 2015), self-regulation (LeCuyer & Zhang, 2015), and emotional expression (Louie et al, 2015), however, these studies do not address caregivers' narratives of their experiences culturally socializing their children. In today's changing world with high profile cultural events with day-to-day impacts for families such as the COVID-19 pandemic (Huck & Zhang, 2021), immigration (Kerwin, 2017), and an increase in gun violence and school shootings (Carter et al, 2022), this raises the question; how do caregivers practice cultural socialization in the current socio-political climate? This study intends to serve as a pilot to begin answering the question, what are caregivers' experiences of cultural socialization?…”

The relationship between culture and the way individuals experience systems such as education, healthcare, religion, law, and media garnered renewed focus due to high-profile world events. Researchers have documented the impact of race, differing caregiving styles, and other cultural differences on how caregivers culturally socialize their children. This pilot study aims to explore, through phenomenology, caregivers' narratives of their experiences culturally socializing children in the North Carolina Appalachian region in the current socio-political climate. Three themes were illuminated: 1) golden rule, 2) fish meeting water, and 3) social desirability. Implications for practice for caregivers and helping professionals will be discussed.

The US immigration court system seeks to “fairly, expeditiously, and uniformly administer and interpret US immigration laws” (DOJ 2022a). It represents the first exposure of many immigrants to due process and the rule of law in the United States, and occupies an integral role in the larger US immigration system. Yet it labors under a massive backlog of pending cases that undermines its core goals and objectives. The backlog reached 1.87 million cases in the first quarter of FY 2023 (Straut-Eppsteiner 2023, 6). This paper attributes the backlog to systemic failures in the broader immigration system that negatively affect the immigration courts, such as: Visa backlogs, United States Citizen and Immigration Services (USCIS) application processing delays, and other bottlenecks in legal immigration processes. The immense disparity in funding between the court system and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) agencies that feed cases into the courts. The failure of Congress to pass broad immigration reform legislation that could ease pressure on the enforcement and court systems. The lack of standard judicial authorities vested in Immigration Judges (IJs), limiting their ability to close cases; pressure parties to “settle” cases; and manage their dockets. The absence of a statute of limitations for civil immigration offenses. Past DHS failures to establish and adhere to enforcement priorities and to exercise prosecutorial discretion (PD) throughout the removal adjudication process, including in initial decisions to prosecute. The location of the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR), which oversees US immigration courts, within the nation’s preeminent law enforcement agency, the Department of Justice (DOJ). The misconception of many policymakers that the court system should primarily serve as an adjunct to DHS. A past record of temporary judge reassignments and government shutdowns. The paper supports a well-resourced and independent immigration court system devoted to producing the right decisions under the law. Following a short introduction, a long section on “Causes and Solutions to the Backlog” examines the multi-faceted causes of the backlog, and offers an integrated, wide-ranging set of recommendations to reverse and ultimately eliminate the backlog. The “Conclusion” summarizes the paper’s topline findings and policy proposals.
