Human Impact Partners has just released a report that that sheds light on the public health consequences of the nation’s broken immigration system. The report, Family Unity-Family Health: How Family-Focused Immigration Reform will Mean Better Health for Children and Families, finds strong evidence that the children of undocumented immigrants are harmed by current detention and deportation policies, and that immigration reform that prioritizes keeping families together will have far-reaching benefits for these children and our society.
Dean Luis H. Zayas and Andrea Campetella were part of the Advisory Committee for this project. The Advisory Committee guided and provided feedback on the research scope, analysis, findings and recommendations of this report.
