How might social work research inform dialogue on efforts to reform the immigration system? Social work research can provide valuable insights and inform dialogue on efforts to reform the immigration system in several ways. Understanding the needs and experiences of immigration populations is one way. Social work research can examine the challenges and vulnerabilities faced by immigrants, such as mental health issues, discrimination, poverty, and access to social services. This knowledge can inform policy discussions by highlighting the specific areas that need attention and improvement. Another way would be assessing the impact of immigration policies. Social work research can assess the impact of current immigration policies on individuals, families, and communities. This includes examining the consequences of detention, deportation, family separation, and other immigration enforcement practices. These findings can inform discussions on the humanitarian aspects if immigration reform and advocate for policies that prioritize the well-being of immigrants. Child welfare social workers should be informed of deportation cases that involve children to be advocates for them (Jansson, 2020). Social work research often focuses on social justice and equity issues. It can shed light on the structural inequalities and systemic barriers that affect immigrants’ access to education, employment, healthcare, and social services. Social work research can provide real evidence, insights and recommendations that inform and shape the dialogue on efforts to reform the immigration system. Reference Jansson, B. S.
