He disparaged Mexican immigrants, calling some criminals and \u201crapists,\u201d and swore he would build a wall on the United States-Mexico border.<\/p>\n<p>During the long campaign, Trump announced a hardline immigration plan that included deporting undocumented immigrants who have committed crimes, ending the catch-and-release policy by which immigrants who cross the border illegally are free until their hearings before immigration judges, and the end of \u201csanctuary cities,\u201d which protect undocumented immigrants from being detained by law-enforcement agencies.<\/p>\n<p>Trump also targeted two of President Obama\u2019s executive orders: the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) and the Deferral Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents (DAPA), programs intended to protect both children and their parents from deportation.<\/p>\n<p>As the next president, Trump is expected to follow up on his campaign promises, a prospect that is already sending shockwaves through the 11 million illegal immigrants who live in the United States.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis morning, many immigrants and children of immigrants woke up fearful, defeated, and worried about their place in this country,\u201d said Roberto Gonzales, sociologist and assistant professor at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gse.harvard.edu\">Harvard Graduate School of Educatio<\/a>n,\u00a0who has studied the quandary of undocumented young adults who were brought here by their parents.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor immigrants who live here, this election has been largely around the question of who are we as a country,\u201d he said Wednesday. \u201cTrump certainly rallied the masses on an anti-immigrant and an anti-Latino platform, and the fear of the country\u2019s changing demographics played a central role in the campaign. There is a lot of uncertainty and fear.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>Gonzales\u2019 main concerns are the children of undocumented immigrants in the Trump era. In \u201cLives in Limbo,\u201d his recent book, Gonzales wrote about how the lack of legal status puts undocumented youth at risk of becoming a \u201cdisenfranchised underclass.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt seems to me that building an actual wall is going to be costly and difficult,\u201d said Gonzales. \u201cDACA is going to be a low-hanging fruit, and canceling it will be a very quick and easy way to satisfy Trump\u2019s base. The questions I have are: Will DACA, as we know it, continue? And what will it happen to those who have it?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Life for immigrants was already trying during the Obama administration, said Gonzales. Obama deported 2.4 million illegal immigrants, more than any other American president, but it could be worse with Trump, he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMake no mistake about it,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s going to be a very difficult. We have much work ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As for the United States-Mexico relationship, Trump\u2019s presidency poses a serious risk to the advances made during the Obama years, said David Carrasco, Neil L. Rudenstine Professor of the Study of Latin America, who teaches at Harvard Divinity School, the Department of Anthropology, and Harvard Extension School.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is fear and anger in Mexico,\u201d said Carrasco. \u201cAlthough Obama deported many thousands of people, there was a sense in Mexico that Obama was a partner they could work with. And we know that Trump\u2019s motto of \u2018Making America Great Again\u2019 has meant, to some people, \u2018Making America White Again.\u2019 This message &#8230; is what in part propelled Trump to victory. Looking at this, as a Mexican-American, as a person of mixed race who identifies with the Obama years of inclusion, this looks like a big step back. I think Mexico will see it also as a step back.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As part of his campaign, Trump promised to build an \u201cimpenetrable, physical wall\u201d on the southern border and make Mexico pay for it, an endeavor that Carrasco decries as doing\u00a0more harm than good.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think this is going to be &#8216;Fortress America&#8217; rather than &#8216;America, the Beautiful,\u201d Carrasco said. \u201cI hope I\u2019m wrong. The wall will end up dividing America within itself, and it will create divisions within the United States even more deep than they are now, and that would be terrible.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New pressures are expected on undocumented immigrants living in the United States.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":108352576,"featured_media":214099,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"gz_ga_pageviews":13,"gz_ga_lastupdated":"2018-02-14 04:08","document_color_palette":null,"author":"Liz Mineo","affiliation":"Harvard Staff Writer","_category_override":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1378],"tags":[11279,17719,21923,29754,37251],"gazette-formats":[],"series":[],"class_list":["post-214087","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nation-world","tag-donald-trump","tag-immigrants","tag-liz-mineo","tag-roberto-gonzales","tag-undocumented"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.0 (Yoast SEO v27.1.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Fear among some immigrants &#8212;

He disparaged Mexican immigrants, calling some criminals and \u201crapists,\u201d and swore he would build a wall on the United States-Mexico border.<\/p>\n<p>During the long campaign, Trump announced a hardline immigration plan that included deporting undocumented immigrants who have committed crimes, ending the catch-and-release policy by which immigrants who cross the border illegally are free until their hearings before immigration judges, and the end of \u201csanctuary cities,\u201d which protect undocumented immigrants from being detained by law-enforcement agencies.<\/p>\n<p>Trump also targeted two of President Obama\u2019s executive orders: the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) and the Deferral Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents (DAPA), programs intended to protect both children and their parents from deportation.<\/p>\n<p>As the next president, Trump is expected to follow up on his campaign promises, a prospect that is already sending shockwaves through the 11 million illegal immigrants who live in the United States.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis morning, many immigrants and children of immigrants woke up fearful, defeated, and worried about their place in this country,\u201d said Roberto Gonzales, sociologist and assistant professor at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gse.harvard.edu\">Harvard Graduate School of Educatio<\/a>n,\u00a0who has studied the quandary of undocumented young adults who were brought here by their parents.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor immigrants who live here, this election has been largely around the question of who are we as a country,\u201d he said Wednesday. \u201cTrump certainly rallied the masses on an anti-immigrant and an anti-Latino platform, and the fear of the country\u2019s changing demographics played a central role in the campaign. There is a lot of uncertainty and fear.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>Gonzales\u2019 main concerns are the children of undocumented immigrants in the Trump era. In \u201cLives in Limbo,\u201d his recent book, Gonzales wrote about how the lack of legal status puts undocumented youth at risk of becoming a \u201cdisenfranchised underclass.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt seems to me that building an actual wall is going to be costly and difficult,\u201d said Gonzales. \u201cDACA is going to be a low-hanging fruit, and canceling it will be a very quick and easy way to satisfy Trump\u2019s base. The questions I have are: Will DACA, as we know it, continue? And what will it happen to those who have it?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Life for immigrants was already trying during the Obama administration, said Gonzales. Obama deported 2.4 million illegal immigrants, more than any other American president, but it could be worse with Trump, he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMake no mistake about it,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s going to be a very difficult. We have much work ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As for the United States-Mexico relationship, Trump\u2019s presidency poses a serious risk to the advances made during the Obama years, said David Carrasco, Neil L. Rudenstine Professor of the Study of Latin America, who teaches at Harvard Divinity School, the Department of Anthropology, and Harvard Extension School.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is fear and anger in Mexico,\u201d said Carrasco. \u201cAlthough Obama deported many thousands of people, there was a sense in Mexico that Obama was a partner they could work with. And we know that Trump\u2019s motto of \u2018Making America Great Again\u2019 has meant, to some people, \u2018Making America White Again.\u2019 This message ... is what in part propelled Trump to victory. Looking at this, as a Mexican-American, as a person of mixed race who identifies with the Obama years of inclusion, this looks like a big step back. I think Mexico will see it also as a step back.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As part of his campaign, Trump promised to build an \u201cimpenetrable, physical wall\u201d on the southern border and make Mexico pay for it, an endeavor that Carrasco decries as doing\u00a0more harm than good.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think this is going to be 'Fortress America' rather than 'America, the Beautiful,\u201d Carrasco said. \u201cI hope I\u2019m wrong. The wall will end up dividing America within itself, and it will create divisions within the United States even more deep than they are now, and that would be terrible.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n"}},"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":327392,"url":"https:\/\/news.harvard.edu\/gazette\/story\/2021\/05\/tania-dominguez-rangel-is-ready-to-tell-immigrants-stories-firsthand\/","url_meta":{"origin":214087,"position":0},"title":"In their own words","author":"harvardgazette","date":"May 26, 2021","format":false,"excerpt":"DACAmented senior Tania Dominguez-Rangel wants to tell firsthand stories of undocumented immigrants.","rel":"","context":"In &quot;Campus &amp; Community&quot;","block_context":{"text":"Campus &amp; Community","link":"https:\/\/news.harvard.edu\/gazette\/section\/campus-community\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"Tania Dominguez-Rangel","src":"https:\/\/news.harvard.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Radcliffe_Tania.jpg?resize=350%2C200","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/news.harvard.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Radcliffe_Tania.jpg?resize=350%2C200 1x, https:\/\/news.harvard.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Radcliffe_Tania.jpg?resize=525%2C300 1.5x, https:\/\/news.harvard.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Radcliffe_Tania.jpg?resize=700%2C400 2x"},"classes":[]},{"id":173906,"url":"https:\/\/news.harvard.edu\/gazette\/story\/2015\/09\/measuring-assimilation\/","url_meta":{"origin":214087,"position":1},"title":"Measuring assimilation","author":"harvardgazette","date":"September 21, 2015","format":false,"excerpt":"U.S. immigrants today are assimilating as quickly or quicker than past generations of immigrants, according to a study by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine.","rel":"","context":"In &quot;Nation &amp; World&quot;","block_context":{"text":"Nation &amp; World","link":"https:\/\/news.harvard.edu\/gazette\/section\/nation-world\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"https:\/\/news.harvard.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/092115_waters_206_605.jpg?resize=350%2C200","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/news.harvard.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/092115_waters_206_605.jpg?resize=350%2C200 1x, https:\/\/news.harvard.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/092115_waters_206_605.jpg?resize=525%2C300 1.5x"},"classes":[]},{"id":185074,"url":"https:\/\/news.harvard.edu\/gazette\/story\/2016\/06\/limitations-on-the-undocumented\/","url_meta":{"origin":214087,"position":2},"title":"Limitations on the undocumented","author":"harvardgazette","date":"June 23, 2016","format":false,"excerpt":"A divided Supreme Court ruled against President Obama\u2019s executive actions that could have aided 5 million illegal immigrants, and Harvard analysts reacted.","rel":"","context":"In &quot;Nation &amp; World&quot;","block_context":{"text":"Nation &amp; World","link":"https:\/\/news.harvard.edu\/gazette\/section\/nation-world\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"https:\/\/news.harvard.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/supreme_court2.jpg?resize=350%2C200","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/news.harvard.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/supreme_court2.jpg?resize=350%2C200 1x, https:\/\/news.harvard.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/supreme_court2.jpg?resize=525%2C300 1.5x"},"classes":[]},{"id":208642,"url":"https:\/\/news.harvard.edu\/gazette\/story\/2016\/11\/stuck-between-two-lives\/","url_meta":{"origin":214087,"position":3},"title":"Stuck between two lives","author":"gazettejohnbaglione","date":"November 15, 2016","format":false,"excerpt":"Alfredo Garcia, an undocumented student at Harvard Divinity School, is pursuing a master\u2019s in theological studies.
