Enyioha  \nThere are over 32 million undocumented immigrants in the United States and of this population,  \nover 1.5 million are children (Palmer & Davidson, 2011) . These children grow up in the US,  \nachieve primary and secondary education, and when they are ready to pursue postsecondary  \neducation, it becomes harder for them to achieve. In this paper, undocumented students’ access to postsecondary education in the US is examined: laws that affect their access to postsecondary education, previous cases on access to education for undocumented students, and the difficulties  \nundocumented students often encounter when pursuing postsecondary education are discussed  \nand analyzed. Best practices and suggestions for supporting undocumented students in pursuing  \npostsecondary education are shared.  \nIt is predicted that as of 2018, higher education will be required for 62 percent of jobs in the US  \nand by 2025, there will be a shortage of 23 million people living in the US with postsecondary  \neducation in the US workforce (Moore, Bridgeland, & Dilulio, 2010) . Postsecondary education  \nin this paper is referenced to as attaining a Certification, Associate’s degree, or Bachelor’s  \ndegree. Attaining postsecondary education is essential to achieving career opportunities with  \nhigher-paying salaries (Knight-Diop, 2010) . However, postsecondary education is not accessible to or attainable for all ofthe US population such as students from underserved backgrounds due  \nto numerous barriers (Kezar, 2009) . Undocumented students in the US are underserved. As of  \n2016, 17 percent of the US undocumented immigrant population attained a Bachelor’s degree  \n(López & Radford, 2016) .  \nWho are Undocumented Students in the United States?  \nUndocumented students are students who were not born in the US, but immigrated, live and  \nattend school in the US: about 65,000 undocumented students graduate from US high schools  \neach year (Olivérez, 2006) . According to the National Immigration Law Center, an  \nundocumented immigrant “is a foreign national who: (1) entered the United States without  \ninspection or with fraudulent documents; or (2) entered legally as a nonimmigrant but then  \nviolated the terms of his or her status and remained in the United States without authorization”  \n(as cited in San Jose State University, 2017, para 2) . Undocumented students were youth when  \ntheir parents decided to immigrant their ","cbCaimdZ1ruiOgO6","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimdZ1ruiOgO6","pdf",368804,12,"English","# College Access for Undocumented Students and Law\n## Who are Undocumented Students in the United States?\n## Acts and Laws that Affect Undocumented Students","[{\"question\":\"What population does the paper focus on regarding postsecondary education access?\",\"answer\":\"The paper focuses on undocumented students in the United States, describing their background and the fact that many graduate from U.S. high schools each year.\"},{\"question\":\"Which legal and policy sources does the paper consider when discussing access?\",\"answer\":\"It discusses the U.S. Constitution, federal statutes, treaties, and how states regulate education systems, including the role of funding obligations for public institutions.\"},{\"question\":\"What does the paper suggest for supporting undocumented students’ pursuit of postsecondary education?\",\"answer\":\"The paper shares best practices and suggestions aimed at supporting undocumented students as they pursue postsecondary education.\"}]","College Access for Undocumented Students and Law - Article 7 | PDF",1792093677]
