R scholarly discussions related to undocumented and unaccompanied immigrant children have centered on their experiences in school and perceptions of belonging, identity, and citizenship. Against the backdrop of President Trump’s election, anti-immigration discourse is at heightened levels, nationally and locally, with the controversial Muslim ban and the comparison of immigrants to criminals, “bad hombres,” and even “jihadists” in some state legislation (Rodriguez and Monreal 2017). Additionally, undocumented youth face discrimination at multiple levels of society, such as being targeted through racialized law enforcement practices and having limited access to education and other resources (Arriaga 2017, Gonzales 2016, Rodriguez and Monreal 2017). As such, the task of recent scholarship has been to expose such anti-immigrant discourse and the effects of policy on the everyday lives of immigrant children, as well as elucidate the complicated processes that immigrant children face as they navigate school and other institutions (e.g., deportation centers and children welfare services; see Heidbrink 2014). Scholars such as Gonzales (2011, 2016) have investigated the politics of being undocumented, and how the “master status of illegality” negatively impacts social mobility in the US as youth enter uncertain legal and social contexts. Other scholars have explored how those very youth engage in political activism (Rodriguez 2017). Somewhat absent from these scholarly conversations, however, is an understanding of how individuals receive labels of migrant, orphan, unaccompanied, and so on. Also little studied are the important political and subjective processes that go into determining who is a “deserving” or

脆弱的家庭:寄养、移民和公民身份 Naomi Glenn-Levin Rodriguez

R 与无证和无人陪伴的移民儿童相关的学术讨论集中在他们在学校的经历以及对归属感、身份和公民身份的看法上。在胜地选举总统的背景下,反移民话语正在提高水平,全国和当地,具有争议的穆斯林禁令和移民对犯罪分子的比较,“坏磡,”甚至在一些国家立法中甚至“圣战者”(Rodriguez和蒙雷亚尔 2017)。此外,无证青年面临社会多个层面的歧视,例如成为种族化执法行为的目标,获得教育和其他资源的机会有限(Arriaga 2017、Gonzales 2016、Rodriguez 和 Monreal 2017)。因此,最近奖学金的任务是揭露这种反移民言论和政策对移民儿童日常生活的影响,并阐明移民儿童在学校和其他机构(例如驱逐中心)中所面临的复杂过程和儿童福利服务;参见 Heidbrink 2014)。Gonzales (2011, 2016) 等学者研究了无证政治,以及随着青年进入不确定的法律和社会环境,“非法主宰地位”如何对美国的社会流动产生负面影响。其他学者探索了这些年轻人如何参与政治活动(Rodriguez 2017)。然而,这些学术对话中有些缺失的是对个人如何接受移民、孤儿、无人陪伴等标签的理解。
