Instilling
fear in Immigrants

With all the discussions and the uncertainty amongst
decisions that are to be made pertaining to immigrants, it’s quite evident that
President Trump wants to keep both unauthorized and authorized members of the
immigrant community in constant fear and in a limbo as to what’s next in their
lives. In the article presented above, there are two studies that have proven :
“1) Immigrant parents are “often” guided by worry, and it’s not just
unauthorized immigrants, 2) Parents aren’t anxious about themselves, they’re
anxious about their kids, and that 3) when
parents suffer from anxiety and depression, those teenagers are at much
elevated risk of failing in school, engaging in substance use, having their own
mental health problems.”
