This comprehensive book brings together the most recent and comprehensive collection of articles on a vulnerable population: the children of immigrants in the United States, particularly those whose parents came to the country without legal authorization. The consequences of the end of compassion and the shift towards temporary migration to meet the labor needs of the American economy have been far-reaching and complex. The chapters in this collection provide a detailed account of the enforcement initiatives implemented by the American government in recent years and their interplay with state policies and local reception contexts. This collection serves as an exhaustive testimony to the severe conditions faced by unauthorized migrant families and their children, both in their countries of origin and in the countries where they reside.

The End of Compassion will appeal to researchers and academics studying migration in the United States, as well as those in ethnic and racial studies, and advanced students of sociology, public policy, law, and political science. This book originally appeared as a special issue of the journal Ethnic and Racial Studies.
