“…Male Hispanic students have an increased probability of feeling sad of 15.7 percentage points. SB 1070 exerts a larger impact on males because male students are more sensitive to discriminatory and other negative signals from the environment (Santos et al, 2018). Moreover, another study points out that due to evolutionary reasons, males are more likely than females to be the targets of racial discrimination and hostility (Sidanius & Veniegas, 2000).…”

This study investigates the impact of the enforcement of SB 1070, a stringent immigration law, on the mental health, health‐risk behaviors, and academic performance of Hispanic adolescent residents in Arizona. Using the difference‐in‐differences method, this study finds that SB 1070 increases their probability of feeling sad and decreases their physical activeness. The impact of SB 1070 on sad feelings and level of physical activity could have serious repercussions while it lasts. In addition, obese male Hispanic adolescents are more likely than their female or non‐obese counterparts to develop mental health problems and engage in health‐risk behaviors attributable to the stringent immigration policy. This study's empirical evidence on adverse mental health repercussions for Hispanic adolescents of state‐level immigration enforcement suggests the need to be careful in formulating and implementing immigration policies.

“…We echo the need for a more compassionate consideration (Levers & Hyatt-Burkhart, 2012) of the lived experiences of the 4.5 million American children living in mixed-status households, as well as for research that documents the damage incurred to citizen children when national policies encourage practices that threaten children's sense of belonging and safety (Santos et al, 2018;Williams & Medlock, 2017;Wray-Lake et al, 2018). Research that takes into consideration family and community strengths, and the impact of supportive settings (e.g., schools) is needed to guide best practices aimed at mitigating uncertainty and ensuring that all children feel safe.…”

“…A rise in absenteeism has been noted after ICE raids (Blitzer, , ; Shoichet, 2018) as well as after the threat of increased enforcement (Costello, ). In school, the threat of parental deportation can drain student's ability to concentrate (Dreby, ; Salas et al., ; Santos et al., ; Satinsky et al., ; Wray‐Lake et al., ). To illustrate, when asked to describe any changes in attitudes or behavior resulting from the presidential election, an adolescent Latina shared, “I am not as happy.…”

Heeding the call put out by the New England Journal of Medicine (2017), we utilize an ecological–transactional model as a conceptual framework for understanding existing literature and for guiding future research on immigration enforcement threat and Latino child development. Using the World Health Organization's definition of violence, we draw on literature from psychology, medicine, social work, and developmental psychology to outline how the anti‐immigrant climate in the United States and the threat of immigration enforcement practices in everyday spaces are experienced by some Latino children as psychological violence. Researchers, teachers, and practitioners are encouraged to be aware of how uncertainty and threat regarding familial safety adversely impacts the lives of Latino children in immigrant households, especially in charged, anti‐immigrant climates.

“…As a primary example, the state of Arizona passed the Support Our Law Enforcement and Safe Neighborhoods Act (Arizona Senate Bill (SB) 1070, 2010) in 2010. In addition to presenting a number of constitutional dilemmas and challenges, the Bill made it a state-enforced crime to transport any “illegal alien” or to harbor an “illegal alien” in any state-related building (Santos et al., 2018). This Bill has been described as the strictest and most general anti-illegal immigration measure passed in the US at the time (Preston & Archibold, 2014).…”

Undocumented immigration in the United States: Historical and legal context and the ethical practice of school psychology

Anti-immigrant sentiment, policy, and practice are deeply rooted in the US tradition. Because of this, a series of laws have been passed to restrict immigration, which has resulted in millions of children and families being designated as “undocumented”. These individuals reside in the US, yet do not receive the same protections as citizens. Schools, however, have historically been supportive institutions for undocumented children because of various laws and court decisions that uphold their access to a free and appropriate education. Various barriers exist to the successful implementation of these laws and they are often not followed. School psychologists, as professionals with an ethical responsibility to advocate for the well-being of all students and families—regardless of their immigration status—can help overcome these barriers. This article first reviews the historical and legal context surrounding undocumented immigration in the US as it impacts public K-12 education. Second, it details how ethical standards influence the applied practice of school psychology when working with undocumented students and families. Finally, it concludes with a brief discussion on resolving legal and ethical dilemmas.
