Although children born in the U.S. are citizens, many Latino parents face obstacles such as:

  • Language barriers

  • Lack of clear information

  • Fear over their immigration status

  • Requirement that both parents be present

  • High costs

  • Lack of time due to work

These barriers not only complicate the process, but also limit opportunities for their children.

Getting informed and seeking community support can make all the difference.
