Abstract

Policies have significantly influenced the experiences of Latino/Latina communities in the United States, spanning immigration, education, health, and labor domains. The Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) of 1986, while providing a path to citizenship for some undocumented immigrants, also resulted in increased exploitation and discrimination of undocumented Latino workers. Education policies, like the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) of 2001, have faced criticism for exacerbating educational inequalities among Latino students due to its focus on English proficiency and disregard for socio-economic and cultural barriers.
