‘Ripple effect:’ In US, anti-immigrant policy strains child and eldercare
By Tyler Hicks
(Excerpt)
“Wendy Cervantes says these changes have been made so that immigrant families are “attacked from every angle”.
Cervantes is the director of immigration and immigrant families at The Center for Law and Social Policy, and her team recently held a webinar to provide technical assistance for childcare providers across the US. She said more than 1,000 people showed up, driven by the “stress and fear” created by the new administration’s approach to immigration.
“People aren’t just worried about parents any more; they’re worried about staff, too,” she told Al Jazeera.”
