Abstract	For more than a decade, the Foundation for Child Development, through the Young Scholars Program (YSP), funded studies about the early education, health, and well-being of children from low-income, immigrant families. Through YSP, the Foundation aimed to fill a gap in policy and practice-relevant research on young immigrant children. It invested in early-career researchers who investigated the education and health needs of this population. This document provides two timely reports authored by a YSP scholar, commissioned by the Foundation. They provide a systematic review of YSP research and situate findings related to the well-being of children of low-income, immigrants into today's socio-economic and sociopolitical climate. YSP research can help equip decision makers with knowledge about both protective and risk factors that influence the developmental outcomes for young children within immigrant families. It also highlights contextual conditions that may contribute to greater resilience among children of immigrants and present recommendations for action at the public policy, family, school, and neighborhood levels. Recommendations based on research are suggested to promote the overall well-being and academic achievement of children of immigrants with beneficial approaches to address the needs of all children and inform public policy. This collection of findings document a troublesome reality for young citizens of this country. Latino citizen children of immigrants are growing up in a unique historical context in U.S. history-a time marked by aggressive immigration policies and practices. These systematic policies and practices place their parents and families in precarious situations leading to a cascade of short- and long-term risks known to be detrimental to child development. Alarmingly, the data also indicate that immigration policies affect not just those children in mixed-status families when an unauthorized parent is detained or deported. Instead, immigration policies and practices, and an overall anti-immigrant climate, are systemic, and they affect, to varying degrees, all citizen children of immigrants-particularly Latino citizen children, the fastest growing child population in the United States.
