Immigration Reform and the Impact on Children: A Town Hall Discussion

Nearly 17 million children in the United States have at least one foreign-born parent who is either a naturalized citizen, a lawfully present immigrant or an undocumented immigrant. These immigrant children are particularly vulnerable and require special protections under U.S. and international law. How do immigration policies impact immigrant children? And what protections do they need?

At this town hall event, a panel of experts discussed the unique challenges facing these children and their families. They also considered the effect of U.S. immigration policies on the health and well-being of immigrant children, as well as common-sense solutions to address the immigration crisis. Journalist and business owner Linda Lorelle moderated the discussion and engaged the audience in this interactive town hall, where all are invited to ask questions and participate in the dialogue.

This event was free and open to the public.

This event was co-sponsored by the Baker Institute Center for the United States and Mexico, Children at Risk, Center for Houston's Future, Rational Middle, and Lorelle Media.
