Abstract:
Structural racism is historically rooted, and has been a foundation for United States immigration policy. This injustice has intergenerational effects that cost society greatly - with impacts on social cohesion, individual and collective health, and well-being, and ultimately our ability to function as a civil society. Limited pathways to citizenship and major restrictions to resources that promote integration have adverse consequences for immigrants and, their families. Research shows that children experience toxic stress that negatively impacts their long-term health and development from heightened immigration enforcement, regardless of any personal impact. In embracing the next generation of children, we will not succeed unless we support sound integration policies that promote the health and well-being of immigrant families across this nation. We must recognize how intricately our fates and our health are tied to each other; we all depend on immigrants being well. We must advance new a social contract, one that counters the \'othering\' of immigrants\" and recognizes that we must invest in the health and well-being of all families.
摘要:
结构性种族主义是历史根源,并一直是美国移民政策的基础。这种不公正具有代际效应,使社会付出了巨大的代价-影响了社会凝聚力,个人和集体健康,和幸福,以及最终我们作为公民社会运作的能力。获得公民身份的途径有限和对促进融合的资源的重大限制对移民产生不利影响,他们的家庭。研究表明,加强移民执法,儿童会遭受有毒压力,对他们的长期健康和发展产生负面影响,不管任何个人影响。拥抱下一代孩子,除非我们支持促进全国移民家庭健康和福祉的健全的融合政策,否则我们不会成功。我们必须认识到我们的命运和我们的健康是多么错综复杂,我们都依赖于移民的健康。我们必须推进新的社会契约,一个反对“移民”的人,并认识到我们必须投资于所有家庭的健康和福祉。
