The impact of the U.S. immigration and legal systems on children
and youth In the United States, millions of children are
undocumented migrants or have family members who came to the
country without authorization. The unique challenges with which
these children and youth must cope demand special attention.
Illegal Encounters considers illegality, deportability, and
deportation in the lives of young people-those who migrate as well
as those who are affected by the migration of others. A primary
focus of the volume is to understand how children and youth
encounter, move through, or are outside of a range of legal
processes, including border enforcement, immigration detention,
federal custody, courts, and state processes of categorization.
Even if young people do not directly interact with state
immigration systems-because they are U.S. citizens or have avoided
detention-they are nonetheless deeply affected by the reach of the
government in its many forms. Contributors privilege the voices and
everyday experiences of immigrant children and youth themselves. By
combining different perspectives from advocates, service providers,
attorneys, researchers, and young immigrants, the volume presents
rich accounts that can contribute to informed debates and policy
reforms. Illegal Encounters sheds light on the unique ways in which
policies, laws, and legal categories shape so much of daily life
for young immigrants. The book makes visible the burdens, hopes,
and potential of a population of young people and their families
who have been largely hidden from public view and are currently
under siege, following their movement through complicated
immigration systems and institutions in the United States.
