Children of Immigrants: Health, Adjustment, and Public Assistance (1999) Commission on Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education (CBASSE) Since enactment of the Immigration and Naturalization Act of 1965, the United States has witnessed a large influx of immigrants who a e diverse in their ethnic and social backgrounds. The 1965 act eliminated severe restrictions on Asia and Africa by placing identical numerical limits on migrants from all countries, including those of the Western Hemisphere. The new immigrants have generated much research about their experiences, but most of the studies have focused on the socioeconomic attainment of adult migrants, As a result, researchers know little about the social-psychological costs to those who migrate. In addition, research on adult migrants is more comprehensive than that on children; Children of adult migrants may suffer more than their native peers in managing two conflicting worlds—their parents and their peers.
