This supplemental reading discusses the paucity of social services available to immigrants and suggests social worker actions. Needs include policy for school-age children to support their academic success. Currently, attention to reasons immigrant children struggle in the classroom is neglected, such as fear of deportation and resulting mental health issues. Additionally, policies that promote immigrant family acclimation, such as the ability to obtain a driver’s license and methods to dispel family separation are needed.
