    EDUCATIONAL RESOURCE BINDER College Access for Undocumented Students in California INTRODUCTION All of us should have the freedom to pursue our dreams without constraint. When everyone is allowed to realize their full potential, we all benefit. However, every year, too many undocumented young people miss key opportunities to enter and succeed in higher education due to a lack of accurate information. The Educational Resource Binder: College Access for Undocumented Students in California has been created by Immigrants Rising to ensure undocumented students and the educators who serve them can easily access accurate and up-to-date information about attending college, including the CA Dream Act, AB 540/SB 68 & Residency, Scholarships That Don’t Require Proof of Citizenship, Institutional Practices, the Sanctuary School and Safe Zone Movement and more! DEFINING UNDOCUMENTED UNDOCUMENTED Deferred Entered with Entered Action for Currently in Legal Status Vulnerable without Childhood the Process but Immigrants Inspection Arrivals of Legalizing Overstayed (DACA) WHO ARE INCLUDED IN THE TERM “UNDOCUMENTED”? We define the term “undocumented” broadly to include all immigrants who reside in the United States without legal status. This includes individuals who: 1. Entered without Inspection (also known as “EWI”) Individuals who entered the United States without presenting themselves for inspection at an official checkpoint to obtain permission to enter the country (e.g. crossing the border without inspection). 2. Entered with Legal Status but Overstayed Individuals who entered the United States with legal status (e.g. student visa) and then remained in the country after their ‘duration of status’ date (found on their I-94) or after their visa expired.

    The American DREAM: DACA, DREAMers, and Comprehensive Immigration Reform Heather Fathali* “Immigration policy shapes the destiny of the Nation . The his- tory of the United States is in part made of the stories, talents, and lasting contributions of those who crossed oceans and deserts to come here.” –Justice Anthony Kennedy, Arizona v.

INTRODUCTION In 2011, Maria Gomez earned her master’s degree in architecture and urban design.3 This is an outstanding achievement for any student. For Maria, it was the result of the same hard work and diligence she had practiced since her days as a middle-school honor student, when she first knew that she wanted to become an architect. In high school, Maria excelled in community service, extracurricu- lar, and school leadership activities.4 She graduated tenth in her class with a 3.9 GPA and was accepted by every college to which she applied.5 * J.D.

  • In Their VOICES Undocumented in California Public Colleges and Universities INTRODUCTION
    In Their VOICES Undocumented in California Public Colleges and Universities INTRODUCTION California has a proud history of welcoming the immigrant and recognizing the tremendous value immigrants bring to the fabric of our state and the inextricable ties that bind our collective future. College opportunity is key to ensuring that California can meet its economic goals, maintain its global standing, and keep up with technological advances. As California’s economy becomes increasingly reliant on a better-educated workforce and further connected to a global marketplace for its services and products, immigrant students are poised to make major contributions to future growth. Nearly 27 percent (three million) of the United States’ undocumented immigrants reside in California.1 Among this diverse population of undocumented immigrants, however, few adults have a college degree. Conservative estimates find that between 64,000 and 86,000 undocumented students are enrolled in California’s public higher education systems.2 Losing, or even underutilizing, these talented students poses a threat to our state’s workforce and economy when you consider California needs an additional 1.65 million college-educated workers by 2030.3 In September of 2017, the Trump Administration announced that it was removing protections for immigrants by rescinding the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program and ordered the Department of Homeland Security to stop accepting new or renewal applications. Numerous lawsuits ensued, and several courts have halted the Administration’s attempts to end DACA.4 As a result, current DACA holders and potential DACA recipients are in a state of limbo, unsure of their status and what the future will hold.

    The Integration of Mexican Undocumented Students in American Society: An Analysis of the DACA Program Master Thesis by Anniek van Keeken 1 July 2015 Anniek van Keeken 900507-425-090, [email protected] Wageningen University - MSc International Development Studies Communication, Technology, and Policy. Thesis code: LAW 80433 www.wageningenur.nl Supervisor: Dr. Michiel Köhne Photo on the cover: Volunteers of the NGO Border Angels go into the desert to place water jugs to limit the deaths of immigrants crossing the border illegally (approximately 1,000 deaths of dehydration each year). Source: author. 2 Abstract ________ This research demonstrates the significance of immigration status in the integration processes of undocumented Mexican students with regards to their access to institutions and (social) services, belonging, and identity (formation), arguing that the DACA program influences predominantly the economic integration of students while lacking the ability for social/cultural and identity integration of its participants. This DACA program stands for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals and grants eligible students a Social Security Number through which they are able to – among others – apply for legal employment, financial aid, and a drivers’ license. The program is temporary in that eligibility is only for two years (after which participants have to apply again) and it is yet unknown if a next presidential administration will continue this program put in place by President Barack Obama. A qualitative study was conducted within the undocumented Mexican student community of San Diego, California to explore their integration experiences. The research draws on participant observation and interviews with both DACA participants and undocumented students.

In over 500 congregations, people from all faiths and from across the theological and political spectrum gathered to hear the stories of DREAM students, to pray for their welfare and for their hopes to become U.S. citizens to become true, and to further educate themselves and their communities about the DREAM Act and the need for it to become law. In many of the 500 services, DREAM Act students gave testimony to their struggle of growing up in the United States, succeeding in their schools and communities, but yet, not being allowed to be fully recognized for their contributions.

Ek The University of Texas at San Antonio http://amaejournal.utsa.edu ISSN: 2377-9187 Núñez, Cruz Lopez, Sarmiento Hernández, & Smedley La Lucha Sigue: Making the Case for Institutional Support of Undocumented and DACAmented Students in Higher Education Vanessa Núñez Esmeralda C. Cruz Lopez Mariana Sarmiento Hernández Anna C. Smedley University of Nevada, Las Vegas Abstract This project used a Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) approach to explore the experiences of undocumented and DACAmented college students in Southern Nevada. CBPR is a collaborative approach to research that involves members of the community being studied to be a part of the entire research process and builds on the strengths of the community. Relying heavily on the knowledge and voices of our community partners, the UndocuNetwork, we conducted interviews with undocumented and DACAmented student activists about their experiences in higher education. We discuss the findings from in-depth interviews with twelve undocumented and DACAmented student activists who are leading the movement at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas to make higher education more accessible and supportive of undocumented and DACAmented students. The questions were written broadly to foster discussion on three main topics: institutional activism, access and barriers to student resources, and campus climate. Participants shared a sense of responsibility to engage in institutional change work, and embraced their agency and exhibited resiliency for navigating higher education through their peer support network.

  • Ensuring Health and Justice for Undocumented Boys and Men of Color 3 TABLE of CONTENTS
    ENSURING HEALTH AND JUSTICE forUNDOCUMENTED BOYS AND MEN OF COLOR ENSURING HEALTH AND JUSTICE forUNDOCUMENTED BOYS AND MEN OF COLOR Erika Cabato, MPH • Bridges to Health Fellow Anthony Galace • Bridges to Health Director MAY 2016 • BRIDGES TO HEALTH ACKNOWLEDGMENTS About the Greenlining Institute Founded in 1993, The Greenlining Institute envisions a nation where communities of color thrive and race is never a barrier to economic opportunity. Because people of color will be the majority of our population by 2044, America will prosper only if communities of color prosper. Greenlining advances economic opportunity and empowerment for people of color through advocacy, community and coalition building, research, and leadership development. We work on a variety of major policy issues, from the economy to environmental policy, civic engagement and many others, because economic opportunity doesn’t operate in a vacuum. Rather than seeing these issues as being in separate silos, Greenlining views them as interconnected threads in a web of opportunity. The Greenlining Institute Bridges to Health Program Nothing is more essential than our health. Everybody should have access to good health regardless of race or income. Health care must be responsive to the nation’s growing communities of color, but health care is not enough. People also need access to the things that lead to good health such as safe neighborhoods, healthy foods, clean environments and decent jobs. Greenlining brings the voices of communities of color into critical decisions that affect all of our lives and health. About the Authors Erika Cabato, MPH, Bridges to Health Fellow Erika is a recent graduate from San Diego State University Graduate School of Public Health.
