00:00In the United States, between immigration raids and school shootings, children are starting a
00:04new school year. But many immigrant parents are hesitant to send them to class for fears of
00:10losing them in one of these events. Our correspondent in New York, Henry Camelo, tells us more.
00:19The start of this new school year for millions of children in the United States will bring much
00:24more than academic challenges. Migration raids in mainly Hispanic neighborhoods have terrified
00:30immigrant parents who now struggle between taking their children to school or risking deportation.
00:41It's scary because I don't know if something will happen here or to us when the children come here.
00:46Their fears are not unfounded. This father was detained and forcibly arrested by ICE agents
00:57after dropping his children off at school. I don't know anything. I want to be with my family.
01:04I want to be with my family. And being separated from their families is what immigrant children
01:12fear most. According to experts, the anti-immigrant environment in the United States ends up affecting
01:18their academic performance.
01:23Many physical symptoms are present, as well as mental health issues, which prevent the child
01:28from performing well academically, from studying. They cannot focus in school. And if the teachers
01:33are unaware of what is happening and do not quickly address the situation, through doctors and mental
01:39health professionals, the children begin to fail in school.
01:48According to the results of the most recent evaluations by leading universities in the United
01:53States, the daily school absenteeism rate has increased by 22 percent, with particularly
01:58significant increases among younger students. But despite the risks and fear for Maria,
02:03her children's education comes first.
02:13We are willing to take risks. We came here for a better future, and we need our children
02:17to succeed and get a good education here.
02:24We live in fear of whether we will make it home from work or not, of whether we will return
02:41with our children, or perhaps they will catch us out there, and we will never see our child
02:46again, separating me from my child.
02:54A risk that more than five million children in the United States will have to face as another
02:58subject in this new school year.
03:06A risk that more than seven years is a child of the U.S. that you can do great education here.
03:14It is also the rest of the U.S. that you are confident that you have to support the
03:19students and their youth who are in the U.S. that you will often consider their children
03:19when you are concerned.
03:21This is the rest of the U.S. that you are actually remotely concerned with the U.S. will
03:22be expected to be on the right time.
03:22We are the first to admit in the U.S. to come to the U.S. as aścian
03:26opportunity with the U.S. this is the U.S. that you are First
03:30of the U.S. this is the U.S. that you have to deal with the U.S. that you
03:31have to do, and look at the U.S".
