An estimated 1 million undocumented children under the age of 18 live in the U.S. and 65,000 undocumented high school students graduate each year. Yet, according to the Pew Hispanic Center, only 7,000-13,000 undocumented students are believed to be enrolled in college systems throughout the U.S., with the largest numbers in California, Arizona, Texas, Florida and Illinois*. While Congress has failed, to date, to pass the D.R.E.A.M. Act, many states have passed legislation to facilitate undocumented students access to higher education. There remains a great deal that student affairs educators can do to work WITH and FOR undocumented students on their campuses. |
