Abrego offers a sobering and nuanced summary of the status of the children in El Salvador who have undocumented parents now living in the United States.
Question One: Please summarize Abrego’s key finding about the condition of the children left behind in El Salvador discussed in these chapter and assess whether or not the family separation and sacrifice was worth it.
