A Child Focus on Immigration

Can a nation fix one of its most prevalent and primary problems by placing a focus on children? 

I have long advocated that a concentration on what is best for a child can bring a demise to rampant family breakdown.  See Rethinking Mom and Dad, describing the importance of dual gender parents, and Marriage, State Domestic Relations Power, and Family Strength, and Child Policy & National Strength: Restoring Ukraine in the Best Interests of the Child,  both outlining why family law is important to state and national policy. 

So, can placing children at the center of immigration reform be good for America?  Absolutely.  Because when parents and a nation place the protection of kids first, both will do what is in the best interests of those children because both parents and the government are required to do so by law.  As a pro-life, pro-child, and pro- family scholar and advocate I have been writing about this for a long time.  See Are We There Yet? Immigration Reform for the Best Interests of Children, Berkeley La Raza L. J. (2013)(reprinted Regent J. Int’l L. (2013)), focusing on protecting native born children when their undocumented parents are facing deportation.

Think through this important problem carefully.  Rather than unwittingly parrot what you might hear in the media which may or may not necessarily be based on fact, take a moment to educate yourself.  Rather than rush to judgment either way, take the time to be responsible and get caught up with what is happening regarding children parents, nations, and immigration at pp. 78-80. 

Children may just be the solution to America’s immigration concerns.  Placing them first is the best thing for immigrant parents, the nation, and for family restoration.
