Abstract: Despite educational gains in recent decades for many Latino students, there are still significant barriers to universal quality education in the U.S.; among these are the stresses of current U.S. immigration policy and political discourse, which serve as negative multipliers to pre-existing social, economic, and health inequities. This report captures the experiences of educators in UnidosUS K-12 programs across the U.S. to document the effects of immigration policy on UnidosUS-affiliated students' well-being and classroom climates.
