Proposal
In this paper, the area of interest is the deportation of parents
and the effect it has on children. As such, the research topic is;
the effects of parents’ deportation on children. Children do not
easily express their emotions and disappointment concerning
particular issues. As such, a parent could easily assume that
everything is fine, which could not be the case. Children that
have experienced the deportation of their parents often
experience a rollercoaster of emotions. If left unresolved, it
could mark the starting point of major psychological and
developmental challenges. Children often display challenges
that they could be facing through incidents of violence against
other challenges or even utterances that portray their pain and
frustrations.
This topic is of great importance to me. First, children are very
innocent, and in most situations, they end up suffering due to
the choices made by the adults in their lives. On the other hand,
deportation is not an appealing experience as it rips off a
person’s dignity leaving them to deal with the harsh judgment
of the world and the harsh reality of being an illegal immigrant.
Also, deported individuals receive harsh treatment from
government officials overseeing the process. Most immigrants
have valid reasons for illegally moving into countries they
perceive as safer. Some of these reasons are a need to run away
from natural calamities such as drought and floods, or even
running away from political instabilities. While some of the
immigrants may be moving to the safer havens motivated by the
wrong reasons, most of them have valid reasons that warrant

them a better stay that would accord them physical and
emotional tranquility. Changes n immigration laws always result
in huge numbers of people being deported to their countries of
origin. On such occasions, children suffer the most.
In exploring the research topic, the methodology to employ
would be mixed-methods research. This method enables the
collection of qualitative and quantitative data. When using
qualitative and quantitative methods, there are advantages and
disadvantages. However, when using the two combined through
the mixed-methods research, it is possible to maximize the
benefits accrued while minimizing the associated disadvantages.
The mixed-methods would entail the use of questionnaires while
supplementing the same with interviews. As such, it is possible
to collect both numerical and qualitative data such as facial
expression, tone, and body movements. While available
research materials provide greater insight on the topic under
study, getting first-hand experience from parents who have
faced deportation who help provide a deeper understanding of
the effects it has on children. While undertaking the
methodology part, there would be a need for methods that would
ensure the respondents are comfortable while enabling them to
share their experiences during deportation willingly and the
effects manifested in their children. For instance, there would
be consideration of the support groups where individuals want
to highlight their plight in the hands of the deportation officials.
In data analysis, a researcher reason analytically and logically
to be more informed about the collected data. When conducting
the data analysis, the purpose would be to create meaning out of
the collected data to come up with an informed conclusion. The
methodology shall entail the use of descriptive statistics for
data analysis. This technique ensures the presentation and
description of the data in the simplest form to enable a better
understanding of the consumers of the information. The
descriptive analysis enables the presentation of data in the form

of graphs, percentages, pie charts hence simplifying the
complicated information often collected in the research process.
In their original form, data may not highlight what is to be
presented, which may lead to confusion. For individuals not
well-versed with the research processes, data presented in the
form of graphs and charts could be easy to analyze and
comprehend. Unlike other methods of data analysis, such as
inference statistics, descriptive analysis ensures a general
description of data and what it portrays. Despite using the
mixed –methods, one cannot deny the important role played by
the quantitative data. With the complex nature of using
numerical data, descriptive statistics would help in simplifying
the large amounts of data collected during the research. The
large volumes of data become small summaries that could be
comprehended by participants and individuals the research
targets.

I. Introduction
Immigrant families always live in fear of the realization of their
status by the immigration officials. When a member(s) of a
family face deportation, the community and other members of
the family they leave behind feel the effects. The numbers of
deportation cases have rapidly increased in the last few years
with the effects of the same felt by the countries, society, and
international relations. In most immigrant families, they have at
least one undocumented family member risking deportation.
II. Body
1) Children face lots of difficulties adjusting in their countries
of origin.
a) Morey (2018) highlighted that having being born and brought
up in their host countries, children end up learning the national
languages in these countries. As such, following the deportation
of their parents and settling in their countries of origin, they
face a lot of challenges learning other languages and even the

norms and values as per the cultural backgrounds. As such,
assimilation into the new society ends up being an uphill task
that may affect their psychological well-being.
2) Deportation brings on board stigma from the host country and
the country of origin.
a) Deportation is not an easy affair as there is the involvement
of the local authorities, and the individuals are forced into the
available means of transport that would ensure their arrival to
their destination. As such, arriving in such a state in their host
country attracts harsh judgment and ridicule, especially by the
fact that one arrives from abroad without anything tangible.
Deported individuals end up being subjects of discussion
resulting in them isolating form the rest of the society.
3) Children of deported parents stand a high chance of
developing psychological problems while exhibiting behavioral
changes (Baum 2010).
a) The changes in the behavior could be depicted in the high
possibility of picking up fights with their peers in school and
poor academic performance. These children often lack the
support they need going through their academics hence having
no idea of how to maneuver the challenges that they face. With
the continuation with such a trend, the effects will be felt in the
economy due to the increased number of unemployed
individuals. Unemployment burden’s a country’s economy while
increasing the crime rates. In addition, the vicious cycle of
poverty continues hence impacting the standards of living in the
nation at large.
4) According to Baum (2010), deportation increase economic
hardships.
a) Parents are the bread-winners in most families. With their
deportation, families are left with no one to depend on in the
fulfilment of their basic needs and housing. As such, families
end up facing lots of instabilities, low-income levels and even
inadequate food for all the family members. While immigration
officials may think that their efforts would be for the good of
their country, the aftermath sends ripple effects to affected

families and the society at large.
III. Conclusion
Deportation cases strive for the good of their country by
expelling individuals who have illegally gained entrance into a
country. During the exercise, the officials target undocumented
individuals or even those with expired documents overstaying
the allowed timeframe. Deportation affects the families the most
as members are separated from each other, with the children
being the ones that suffer the most. Also, deported individuals
face stigma from their host countries, making the adjustment to
the society a challenging experience.

Part 1
Why the Topic is of Interest
The topic explores how the deportation of parents impact on the
children. For most deported adults, they have children that have
not reached the age of the majority and have no means of
fending for themselves. As such, the children of deported
parents are left in a state of limbo, not knowing where to go or
who to depend on. As such, innocent children suffer due to
deportation, with the exercise bringing emotional and physical
torture. These children end up with nobody to care for them,
with others being placed under the foster care system. The topic
shall help in unearthing the effects deportation has on the
society at large. Families are the basic units of society. As such,
with the deportation resulting in the separation of the parents
from their children, there is the breaking of the family. Other
social effects emanate from deportation.
In the face of increased international trade, the relations
that countries have with each other are instrumental in
determining the success of bilateral trade. The deportation of
parents strains the relationship between countries, especially
when the children are left behind. Despite the desire to make
the world a global village, lack of consideration in making
deportation arrangements compromises the urge to benefit from
the cordial relationships between countries. Deportation
disrupts the lives of young children, especially those born in the
host countries by immigrant parents. Being born in the host
countries assures the children of citizenship while their parents

remain undocumented citizens. As such, these children continue
leaving in fear of their parents being noticed by the immigration
officials.
