Research paper notes

The concept of Home for Immigrants

Article 1. “How Immigrants Perceive Home and Identity.” Psychology Today,

Sussex Publishers, 13 Jan. 2020, www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/alien-

nation/202001/how-

immigrants-perceive-home-and-identity.

‘’During the early stages of adjustment, immigrants often feel that things fall apart as

the word “Patria” becomes no longer synonymous with the concept of home. As

people begin to redefine those concepts, they often report feeling adrift, uncertain of

the direction to head in. Those in Erikson’s “identity vs. role confusion” stage of

development (ages 12 to 18) are particularly vulnerable to strong shifts in identity as a

result of immigration.

The relationship between native places, identity, and one’s sense of home is becoming

one of increased complexity as people migrate to further lands with significantly

different cultures than the one they are brought up in. Global travel has allowed

humans to connect with new people and places on a grander scale than ever before.’’

In 2008, The Pew Research Center conducted a survey of 2,260 American adults.

They asked participants to identify “the place in your heart you consider to be home.”

Thirty-eight percent of the respondents did not identify the place that they were

currently living to be “home”; 26 percent reported that “home” was where they were

born or raised; 22 percent said that it was where they lived now; 18 percent identified

home as the place that they had lived the longest; 15 percent felt that it was where

their family had come from, and 4 percent said that home was where they had gone to

high school.

Notes This first source is about the psychological effects on immigrants, put the
survey research in the paper.

The researchers concluded that home is “the place closest to their heart, the place

where they can maintain their identity, integrity, and way of living.” It sheds some

light on the connection between “home” and “identity.” Since elderly immigrants are

more likely to depend on memories rather than thoughts of the future for comfort,

their perceptions of home are quite important to their wellbeing. Although ideas about

what constitutes a home tend to be formed in early childhood, culture and changes to

life circumstances in adulthood affect its ultimate perceptions.

Gender, too, has been found to have a significant influence on one’s perceptions of

home. Specifically, men have been shown to base their sense of home on status and

achievement, whereas women perceive home more like an “emotional retreat or a

protective shelter.”

Notes: Immigrants pass through an extremely challenging time adapting, when you
must learn a new language and you are far from your family and friends. When you

first move you have a roller-coaster of emotions.

Despite the numerous challenges associated with immigration, people are often highly

resilient. As they adjust to their new view of themselves, identity, and home, their

cognitive flexibility and intercultural sensitivity are enhanced (Christmas & Barker).

The cognitive flexibility gained through undergoing the transformative process of

immigration has been linked to creativity and innovation(Ritter et.al). This allows

individuals to have an expanded worldview and a more complex, flexible perception

of other people, in turn, building interpersonal sensitivity and cross-cultural

competence.

WHO ARE THE IMMIGRANTS ARRIVING AT THE BORDER? Most of the

immigrants arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border are from El Salvador, Guatemala,

and Honduras, three of the most violent countries in the world. They are fleeing

gang violence, rape, and extortion, many seeing flight as the only way to save their

lives and the lives of their children. U.S. policy toward Central America, dating

back decades, played a significant role in the failure of those countries to develop

strong democratic institutions. The end of Temporary Protected Status, which

could send up to 57,000 Hondurans, 2,550 Nicaraguans and 195,000 Salvadorans

back to countries that cannot support them, is likely to further exacerbate problems

in the region.

Notes: put on the paper the data of who are the most commons immigrants
arriving at the border. Most people are from third world countries. They are

running from poverty and hunger and to give they child a better future.

Article 3 “Migrants’ Rights.” The Fund for Global Human Rights, 13 Nov. 2019,

globalhumanrights.org/issues/migrants-rights/.

An estimated 1 billion people around the world today are migrants; more than two-

thirds of whom are forcibly displaced. Their journeys are treacherous: desperate to

flee violence, oppression, and poverty at home, they may choose to cross an

inhospitable desert or board a makeshift boat without life preservers. Along the

way, they are prime targets for robbery or sexual assault.

Those who arrive at their destination often find themselves in a state of limbo,

stuck in detention centers or migrant camps with limited access to legal and

healthcare services. Children who are separated from family or unaccompanied by

caregivers have particular barriers to advocating for their rights.

Notes: Sometimes migrating is not a choice, people desperately go away from
home, just because they cannot put a plate of food in the table. It is incredibly sad

to see siblings split because one has papers and the other not.

“U.S. Citizen Children Impacted by Immigration Enforcement.” American

Immigration Council, 1 Apr. 2020,

• A child’s risk of having mental health problems like depression, anxiety, and

severe psychological distress increases following the detention and/or

deportation of a parent. Since late 2016, doctors and service providers have

reported anecdotally that they have seen more children exhibiting stress- and

anxiety-related behavioral changes, including symptoms of “toxic-stress,”

due to fear that a family member will be deported.

• Children experience toxic stress when they are suddenly separated from their

parents, which negatively impacts brain development. They are also at

greater risk of developing chronic mental health conditions that include

depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), as well as physical

conditions such as cancer, stroke, diabetes, and heart disease.

• A 2010 study of immigration-related parental arrests (at home or worksites)

found that the majority of children experienced at least four adverse

behavioral changes in the six months following a raid or arrest. Compared to

the previous six months, children cried or were afraid more often; changed

their eating or sleeping habits; and/or were more anxious, withdrawn, clingy,

angry, or aggressive.

Notes especially important to add the pink information.

The deportation, and even the arrest or detention, of a parent or other household

family member has significant short- and long-term financial implications. U.S.

citizen children and any remaining family members can face substantial economic

disadvantages following the removal of a primary provider. In general, increases

in immigration enforcement have been linked to higher poverty rates among U.S.

citizen children with likely unauthorized parents.

Notes Deportation affects underage kids that are citizen and they parent are not.

ICE issued more than 200,000 deportation orders between 2010 and 2012 for

parents who report having U.S. citizen children, according to the most recent

estimates of government data available. While the government does not track

whether U.S. citizen children stay in the United States or leave with a deported

parent, both scenarios occur and pose challenges.

Children are spending more time inside and participating in fewer activities

because remaining adults are working all the time and/or more fearful of

spending time outside. Some families reported that children became angry or

resentful about remaining adults working all the time. Families and stakeholders

also noted that some parents have less patience with their children because of

increased work and stress. In some families, older children took on jobs or

increased roles caring for siblings. Stakeholders also noted that older children often

take on challenging roles advocating and translating for their parents. A number of

families noted that older children changed their plans for the future, for example,

getting a job instead of joining the armed forces or declining acceptance to a

university.

Notes: immigrants’ children that they parents work all day and do not have time to

them, they tend to be withdrawn and be less active in social activities.

Article 6

“Immigration.” Encyclopædia Britannica, Encyclopædia

Britannica, Inc., www.britannica.com/topic/immigration.

Immigration, process through which individuals become permanent residents or

citizens of another country. Historically, the process of immigration has been of

great social, economic, and cultural benefit to states. The immigration experience

is long and varied and has in many cases resulted in the development of

multicultural societies; many modern states are characterized by a wide variety of

cultures and ethnicities that have derived from previous periods of immigration. In

the post-World War II period, immigration was largely the result of the refugee

movement following that war and, during the 1950s and ’60s, the end of

colonization across Asia.

Notes: add the concept of immigration to the introduction and put the effects of it

on children and parents. How can affect this change? Copping mechanism such as

working excessively can affect they health and the home environment, because

children feel an empty nest.

Recent immigration policies related to family separation and deportation have

negative mental and physical health implications for immigrant families

across the life course. In this brief, we detail mental health (e.g., stress,

trauma) and physical health (e.g., nutrition, chronic conditions) impacts of

policies focused on immigrants and immigration across the life course.

Consequently, we recommend the dismantling of policies that are harmful to

immigrant families (e.g., zero tolerance, the proposed public-charge rule,

changes to Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals and Temporary Protected

Status) and the strengthening or initiation of policies to bolster health and

well-being among immigrant families across the life course (e.g., DACA; TPS;

access to the social safety net, including Medicare, Medicaid, and Social

Security).

Notes: Add some information about government policies for immigration. Add
the types of government programs to help the families and what other should be

helpful to modify. Make sure to explain the effect of families splitting and what

psychological damage can do on adults and children.
