How U.S. Schools are Affected by Undocumented Immigrant Dreamers and Deferred Action Recipients

Abstract

As of the middle of 2018, Congress still has not provided any legislative response to President Trump’s rescinding of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program – the Obama-era executive action called “DACA” for short that provided relief from deportation to approximately 800,000 migrants that grew-up in the United States. This report examines how U.S. schools are affected by undocumented immigrants dreamers and deferred action recipients.
