The Undocumented: Educating the Children of Migrant Workers in America.
Green, Paul E.
Bilingual Research Journal, v27 n1 p51-71 Spr 2003
Partly because of mobility, but mostly because of poverty, migrant children are systematically denied their right to equal educational opportunity. This review covers migrant families' immigration and illegal immigration, migration patterns, poor living conditions, impact of migrant workers on the U.S. economy, children as migrant workers, impact of mobility and poverty on educational attainment and achievement, and efforts to improve migrant education. (Contains 55 references.) (SV)
