Deportation nation
Deportation nation
- August 31, 2012
- Research by Ruben Rumbaut, sociology professor, and M. Kathleen Dingeman, sociology graduate student, is featured in the New York Times August 31, 2012
From the New York Times:
IT would have taken a hard heart not to be moved this month as tens of thousands
of “Dreamers” — young undocumented immigrants who were brought to this country as
children — emerged from the shadows to apply for temporary work permits and deportation
deferrals under a new policy by the Obama administration that has delighted immigrant
advocates and enraged conservatives... In a study of Latin American deportees who
had lived for long periods in the United States (on average, 14 years), the sociologists
M. Kathleen Dingeman and Rubén G. Rumbaut found that deportees who had emigrated as
children suffered the most. Deportees to El Salvador (a country many had fled during
the civil war of the 1980s) encountered discrimination because of their accents, style
of dress and California gang-themed tattoos.
