These efforts, which have been successful in ten states, can be characterized as a human and civil rights struggle based on the fundamental premise that no group should be subjected to discrimination. Undocumented students seek equality under the law while affirming their humanity and thus their rights as human beings. Undocumented immigrants seek to overturn government and media images that portray them as illegal; devoid of all rights simply because they are working and living in a country other than the one in which they were born. -- Publisher description.New Americans (LFB Scholarly Publishing LLC)NoncitizensEducation (Higher)United StatesUniversities and collegesResidence requirementsUnited StatesHigher education and stateUnited StatesTuitionLaw and legislationUnited StatesIllegal immigrationNoncitizensEducation (Higher)Universities and collegesResidence requirementsHigher education and stateTuitionLaw and legislationIllegal immigration.378.1/98269120973Rincón Alejandra1561754MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910782667803321Undocumented immigrants and higher education3828760UNINA
