## Description

In Forgotten Citizens, Luis Zayas draws on his extensive research and experience as a psychological evaluator to present the most complete picture yet of the mental health and lasting trauma experienced by US citizen-children who are threatened with their fate of becoming an exile or an orphan.

Review: Captivating and inspirational - Zayas ability to capture the difficulty youth go through as a consequence of draconian immigration policies is inspirational. “Forgotten Children” helped me understand the long-term effects deportability can have on youth. The symptoms identified in the text, such as attachment disorders and anxiety, that follow the trauma of deportation of a parental figure (that fuel other forms of trauma), and the ability to identity how these affect families, is powerfully captured in numerous case studies. These case studies help humanize the impact deportation has on individuals, families, communities, legal advocates, and social workers. What distinguishes this book from others is the ability to weave these stories together to prescribe clear policy changes that can reconcile the best interest of the child doctrine in American family and juvenile law and the humanitarian principles that define us as a nation.
