Dreams and Nightmares takes a critical look at the challenges and
dilemmas of immigration policy and practice in the absence of
comprehensive immigration reform. The experiences of children and
youth provide a prism through which the interwoven dynamics and
consequences of immigration policy become apparent. Using a unique
sociolegal perspective, authors Zatz and Rodriguez examine the
mechanisms by which immigration policies and practices mitigate or
exacerbate harm to vulnerable youth. They pay particular attention
to prosecutorial discretion, assessing its potential and
limitations for resolving issues involving parental detention and
deportation, unaccompanied minors, and Dreamers who came to the
United States as young children. The book demonstrates how these
policies and practices offer a means of prioritizing immigration
enforcement in ways that alleviate harm to children, and why they
remain controversial and vulnerable to political challenges.
