“We Call Them International Students”: The Consequences of the Newcomer and International Student Labels for Immigrant Students in Public Schools

ABSTRACT This article uses the framework of legal violence to examine two educational labels attached to immigrant young people: newcomer and international student. We demonstrate how these labels function to obscure immigrant students' long‐standing relationships with the United States and result in missed opportunities to address how legal violence manifests in their lives. We invite scholars to better attend to how immigration policies are intertwined with schooling in the lives of immigrant young people.
