In the United States, in most families, both parents have to work in order to move forward and have a better life. But in some Hispanic traditional families the belief is that the men are the ones that need to work outside and bring money home, and according to Christine Valenciana, and Rosario Ordonez, in their journal "Unconstitutional Deportation Of The 1930S: Learning From The Voices Of The Past," "men are the ones that mainly get deported since 1930" (81). That is one of the causes for these children facing economic hardships because their mother needs to get a job, and it is difficult for only one to maintain the necessities of a home. As Kristin Anderson has noted in his journal "Denied, Detained, Deported: Stories From The Dark Side Of American Immigration," "Parents' employment and financial struggles combined with the daily difficulties of paying bills and affording basic necessities trigger emotional reactions within the family that affect children's development" (120). So, it is important that we as citizens know the problems that we are having right now and understand that for these children the word "deportation" changes their life, because if they stay here with one of their parents, or a family member, either way will affect their development as students and future adults.
What is best for these children is unknown because the best would be that this situation did not happen in this country, but unfortunately it is a common issue that we are living right now. On some occasions, when a parent is deported, they have the decision of leaving, or bringing the children with them, either option affects the children because they either stay here in their country, but without their parents, or they choose to move to a strange country where they don't know the people, and the environment is different. That is why something needs to be done as soon as possible because every day children are dealing with the issue of deportation.
