Abstract

Family integrity, although central to child welfare, is undermined by immigration laws that fail to consider the best interests of the child. This article discusses the threat that deportation poses to family integrity and analyzes the Child Citizen Protection Act of 2009, a potential remedy pending before the United States Congress. It also addresses the roles that public child welfare agencies can play to ensure the well-being of children in mixed-status immigrant families.
