Background
Deportation is an overwhelming experience for people going through the process while being more difficult for the parents. When being deported, parents have to decide whether to tag along their children or leave them behind. Regardless of choice, there are emotional and logistical difficulties that both the parents and their children encounter. If left behind, parents have to make arrangements with family and even friends to host their children. While it may seem like a fair play considering the situation of the parent, it could be a phase of difficulty to the parties playing host to the children. Most children of immigrant parents are often born in the host country. As such, when parents choose to move with their children, it could be a traumatizing experience. It means that these children start living in a new country with different languages, religions, and even cultural orientations. The parents might be okay and fit in perfectly, but the children may not get used to the new country very fast due to the values and ways of life that has been instilled in them since they were born, and which could be completely different from what is in the new country. By being different from other children, the children born by immigrant parents are highly susceptible to stigma and ridicule from their peers and society as well.
Recommendations
In watering down the negative effects associated with forced deportation, a parent could consider seeking help from advocacy groups. Advocates work to support a cause, especially when they think that it is right. The pro-immigrant rights create avenues where there could be the resolution of the deportations and the threats that deported parents often encounter. According to Nagle (2018), immigration advocacy pushes for the rights of individuals awaiting deportation by offering an avenue for immigrants to highlight their plight. Also, these entities push for the adherence of human rights during the deportation exercises. Harassments and police brutality is prominent in most cases of deportation. While most immigrants arrive in their host nations legally, others are often duped into getting into the country in question without knowing that they are doing that illegally. Regardless of the case, advocacy would ensure that the rights of deported parents are respected and that undeserving parents do not get deported without a solid ground necessitating the same.
The government of the host country and that of the country of origin need to work together to ensure the smooth reception of the deported parents. Characteristically, this cooperation should move towards ensuring that the parents can continue with their life as a means of protecting the children from suffering. While there is a valid reason(s) behind most cases of deportation, others do not have. Most migrants escape their country seeking asylum due to war and natural calamities such as drought. As such, when deported, they have nothing and nowhere to start their life from, and often have to depend on family members, which may not be easy. Dragostinova (2011) highlighted the case of the deportees in Greece who faced lots of difficulties in finding employment, buying land, and even locating their properties. The deportees often do not have financial resources and hence no means of survival. The case is worse when deported parents have their children with them. As such, it is imperative to have mechanisms that ensure that deported individuals have a smooth transition.
