Center for Poverty Research publishes policy brief by Caitlin Patler, Erin Hamilton, and Robin Savinar titled DACA Uncertainty May Undermine its Positive Impact on Wellbeing
In this brief, Caitlin Patler, Erin Hamilton and Robin Savinar discuss new research on the impact of gaining temporary legal status on the psychological well-being of young, undocumented Latino immigrants in California. They find that early improvements in psychological well-being that occurred after receiving DACA have not been sustained over time, perhaps due to uncertainty about the policy's future.
