Immigration reform remains one of the most contentious issues in
the United States today. For mixed status families-families that
include both citizens and noncitizens-this is more than a political
issue: it's a deeply personal one. Undocumented family members and
legal residents lack the rights and benefits of their family
members who are US citizens, while family members and legal
residents sometimes have their rights compromised by punitive
immigration policies based on a strict "citizen/noncitizen"
dichotomy. This collection of personal narratives and academic
essays is the first to focus on the daily lives and experiences, as
well as the broader social contexts, for mixed status families in
the contemporary United States. Threats of raids, deportation,
incarceration, and detention loom large over these families. At the
same time, their lives are characterized by the resilience,
perseverance, and resourcefulness necessary to maintain strong
family bonds, both within the United States and across national
boundaries.
