America Now—or—Later: The Immigration Experience

Author:

Abstract

This session will discuss the difference between the terms emigration and immigration and the impact immigration has on children and teenagers. Through interviews and discussions, we will attempt to determine if it is easier and more beneficial for young children versus teenagers to immigrate to the United States and adapt to a new culture, language, and environment. We will highlight advantages and disadvantages of immigration for each population.
