Acknowledgements This report benefited greatly from the contributions of many individuals. I interviewed several policy-makers, child advocates, pro bono attorneys representing undocumented Central American children and youth, service providers, especially those providing post-release services, school adminis- trators and teachers, and community leaders. Some of them spoke on the condition of anonymity, therefore their names do not appear in the acknowledgments. They know that I appreciate their input enormously. My special gratitude goes to Elaine Kelley of the Office of Refugee Resettlement; Leslie Velez of UNHCR; Su- san Downs-Karkos of Welcoming America; Claire Sylvan of Internationals for Public Schools; Lina Avidan of the Zellerbach Family Foundation; Michelle Brané and Jennifer Podkul of the Women’s Refugee Commission; Wendy Young of Kids in Need of Defense (KIND); Nathalie Lummert and Kirstyn Peck of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops; and Tania Hindert of Mary’s Center. They have either spoken with me at length or invited me to meetings where I gained additional insights into the integration issues facing unaccompanied children and youth. I have also benefited from talking to a number of researchers with a long history of studying undocumented chil- dren, youth, and families from Latin America, including Susan Terrio of Georgetown University; Cecilia Menjivar of Arizona State University; and Deborah Boehm of University of Nevada, Reno. Sarah Graveline, my graduate research assistant, provided indispensable assistance in conducting literature re- views and masterfully copy-editing and formatting this report. Many thanks to Meg Shoemaker Little of Welcoming America and M. Aryah Somers of KIND for providing com- ments on an earlier draft of this report. Finally, Suzette Brooks Masters of the J.M. Kaplan Fund commissioned this analysis and provided invaluable guidance and support throughout the process of researching and writing this report. WHAT KIND OF WELCOME? INTEGRATION OF CENTRAL AMERICAN UNACCOMPANIED CHILDREN INTO LOCAL COMMUNITIES Page 3 KEY OBSERVATIONS Child migrants have been coming to America alone since Ellis Island. American society has been favorably disposed to prior waves of youth migration. The arrival of large numbers of migrant youth from Central America and Mexico is also not new. But the recent migration from the south has some distinct characteristics: • The majority of Mexican youth are sent back immediately or do not make it to the border. • Mostly Central American children and youth are reporting to immigration authorities or being apprehended at the border. • More young women are migrating, often with small children of their own. • The vast majority of the young migrants are seeking to unite with family in the U.S. Despite occasional anti-immigrant sentiment, local reception has been generally positive. Some lo- cal governments have provided additional funding to facilitate the integration of the youth and support legal services to help them pursue their claims to remain in the United States. Others have offered to host reception centers for migrants awaiting placement with family and sponsors. In addition, philan- thropy has stepped up in several locales to provide additional resources, primarily legal in nature, but also for general services and mental health support. Overall, local communities are generally able to absorb the relatively small numbers of children and youth released to family or community members. The Central American migrant youth face many of the same challenges as other young migrants with poor English language skills and lack of documented status. Strong models of intervention exist that should be extended to assist these newly arrived migrants as well. Community groups and school districts have considerable experience supporting Latino migrants. However, they do require additional resources to address the effects of psychological trauma and disrupted schooling that many recent child migrants experienced. Family reunification is a positive outcome of the migration. However, this reunification must be managed to ensure a healthy transition to life in the U.S. for the migrants. Further research is needed. Especially important is comparative research examining the social, cultural, and legal well-being of three distinct groups of newly arrived Central American youth: • Those who have been apprehended, detained in U.S. immigration custody, and released to family or community with post-release services; and • Those who have been detained and released from U.S. immigration custody without post- release services; and • Those who were not apprehended when entering the U.S. without authorization and have not had contact with local, state or federal law enforcement or social services.

INTEGRATION OF CENTRAL AMERICAN UNACCOMPANIED CHILDREN INTO LOCAL COMMUNITIES By Elżbieta M. Goździak Director of Research, Institute for the Study of International Migration at Georgetown Prepared for the J.M. Kaplan Fund, February 2015 INTRODUCTION Child Migrants Make Headlines Unaccompanied child migrants from Central America and Mexico arriving at the U.S. southern border be- came national news in the summer of 2014. A multitude of front-page stories about the influx of unaccom- panied children and youth travelling to the United States to seek refuge from horrific violence--rape, gang recruitment, and murder--in Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador, and Mexico followed.1 Advocacy groups and UN agencies produced reports urging international protection for the children on the move.2 Migration policy advisors and congressional researchers also chimed in.3 Journalists wrote about anti-immigrant sentiments reaching fever pitch over the arrival of these youngsters.4 CNN reported that in places such as Murrieta, California, and Oracle, Arizona, the message was clear: immi- grant children fleeing Central America are unwelcome in Small Town USA.5 Child advocates countered these attitudes with calls for protecting the children and ensuring due process in immigration proceedings. The at- tention overwhelmingly centered on the push factors driving the arrival of unaccompanied children and youth to the U.S. and their treatment while in government custody. Fewer advocates focused on how the young mi- grants fared once released from detention centers to family and community. Mark Greenberg, Acting Assistant Secretary in the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), testified that in FY 2014, “approximately 95% of children released [from the Department of Health and Human Services custody] were released to a parent, relative, or non-relative sponsor.”6 Most unaccompanied children spend, on average, 35 days in HHS custody,7 but wait 578 days for a court date to appear in front of an immigration judge.8 Five hundred seventy eight days is a long time, a little over a year and a half. It is difficult to predict how many of the young migrants will remain after their immigration hearing. However, whether they will be allowed to stay or will be eventually deported, they are here now. What will happen to them in the intervening months and years? How will they fare in the families and communities to whom they have been released? Will their relatives embrace them? How will anti-immigrant sentiments affect their daily lives? Will they be integrated into American schools or even go to school? Who will support them? These are some of the issues that this report addresses. WHAT KIND OF WELCOME?

  • Healing the Scars of Forced Migration: an Italian-American Story
    RSAJOURNAL 30/2019 LINDSEY N. KINGSTON Healing the Scars of Forced Migration: An Italian-American Story There’s an expression for wishing someone “good luck” in Italian – in bocca al lupo – that literally translates to “in the mouth of the wolf.” I imagine my grandfather’s friends saying this to him as he left his Sicilian village, Grotte, in 1938. The expression would have certainly been fitting for the 17-year-old; the intimidating journey looming before him must have felt like staring down the jaws of a predator. He traveled to America several years after his father and two older brothers, who had saved money and made the necessary arrangements to bring the rest of the family over. Grandpa was not particularly eager to leave Sicily, but his mother and siblings were going with or without him; the decision he faced was between family and homeland. He first went to Naples, where he was awe-struck by the endless rows of ships in port. He had never been to a city before, even to nearby Agrigento to see its famed Greek temples. Yet he had already survived extreme poverty and hunger when he boarded his ship, the SS Roma (where he felt every seasickness-inspiring roll of the ocean, and where he likely spent his eighteenth birthday), so he had endured harder things than the long voyage to New York. He arrived in the United States with one suitcase and the remnants of a handmade guitar that was crushed along the way. He had no real job prospects, no education to speak of, and initially no English skills whatsoever.

Children begin their consumer journey in infancy. And they certainly deserve consideration as consumers at that time. – James U. McNeal | Pioneering Youth Marketer [TITLE SCREEN] Consuming Kids: The Commercialization of Childhood NARRATOR: Not since the end of World War II, at the height of the baby boom, have there been so many kids in our midst. There are now more than 52 million kids under 12 in all in the United States – the biggest burst in the U.S. youth population in half a century. And for American business, these kids have come to represent the ultimate prize: an unprecedented, powerful and elusive new demographic to be cut up and captured at all costs. There is no doubt that marketers have their sights on kids because of their increasing buying power – the amount of money they now spend on everything from clothes to music to electronics, totaling some 40 billion dollars every year. But perhaps the bigger reason for marketers’ interest in kids may be the amount of adult spending that American kids under 12 now directly influence – an astronomical 700 billion dollars a year, roughly the equivalent of the combined economies of the world’s 115 poorest countries. DAVID WALSH: One economic impact of children is the money that they themselves spend – the money that they get from their parents or grandparents, the money that they get as allowance; when they get older, the money that they earn themselves.

    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS/MORMON CHILDREN’S MUSIC: ITS HISTORY, TRANSMISSION, AND PLACE IN CHILDREN’S COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT Colleen Jillian Karnas-Haines, Doctor of Philosophy, 2005. Dissertation Directed by: Professor Robert C. Provine Division of Musicology and Ethnomusicology School of Music The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has a children’s auxiliary program for ages three to eleven that meets weekly before or after their Sunday worship service. This auxiliary, called Primary, devotes much of its time to singing. Music is not a childish diversion, but an essential activity in the children’s religious education. This study examines the history of the songbooks published for Primary use, revealing the many religious and cultural factors that influence the compilations. The study then looks at the modern methods of transmission as the author observes the music education aspects of Primary. Lastly, the study investigates the children’s use of and beliefs about Primary music through the lens of cognitive development. The study reveals that Primary music is an ever-evolving reflection of the theology, cultural trends, and practical needs of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Unaware of such implications, the children use Primary music to express their religious musicality at cognitive developmentally appropriate levels.

  • Sequestered Inclusion: Social Service Discourses and New Latino Diaspora Youth in the Shenandoah Valley
    SEQUESTERED INCLUSION: SOCIAL SERVICE DISCOURSES AND NEW LATINO DIASPORA YOUTH IN THE SHENANDOAH VALLEY A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Elizabeth Esther Phelps May 2015 © 2015 Elizabeth Esther Phelps SEQUESTERED INCLUSION: SOCIAL SERVICE DISCOURSES AND NEW LATINO DIASPORA YOUTH IN THE SHENANDOAH VALLEY Elizabeth Esther Phelps, Ph. D. Cornell University 2015 Abstract: This dissertation explores ethnographically the impact of discourses of belonging and exclusion in a New Latino Diaspora (NLD) city located in the heart of the Shenandoah Valley, Virginia. Young NLD adults in Rocktown, Virginia, experience a form of sequestered inclusion shaped by racializing narratives based in nativist hostility as well as by implicit deficit narratives embedded in humanistic multiculturalism. Based on more than twelve months of ethnographic field work (and over six years of ordinary life in Rocktown), this dissertation explores how advocates, activists, and their allies in the social service and educational institutions in the Rocktown area have institutionalized processes of inclusion over a period of fifteen years both with and for NLD youth. These processes have been constrained by the paternalistic and reductive discourses that frame youth both as inherently needy and as a resource that benefits the receiving community. NLD youth themselves recognize their own specific needs and contributions, but resist the reductionism and racializing tendencies of these discourses. Within this context, a small group of young NLD activists formed to support and promote the DREAM Act (for Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors), both capitulating to and contesting dominant discourses and constructing a narrative frame for belonging on their own terms.
