America

An estimated nine million US residents live in “mixed-status” households that include at least one unauthorized adult and one or more US-born children. These children are in a unique political position: they enjoy the rights of US citizenship, but they are also confronted with the legal exclusion of their parents.

The book, “Surviving the ICE Age, Children of Immigrants in New York,” by Joanna Dreby. (https://www.russellsage.org/publications/book/surviving-ice-age)

She draws on interviews with young adults with foreign-born parents to better understand what it was like to grow up during a time of heightened U.S. migratory control.

She details the generational harms caused by U.S. immigration policy and offers suggestions for a better way forward. Joanna Dreby is professor of sociology at the University of Albany, State University of New York.
