Immigrant populations, growing quickly in both size and diversity, have become an important segment of the U.S. college student population, one that will profoundly transform the educational landscape and workforce in coming decades. Nevertheless, immigrant students in higher education are often inaccurately characterized and largely misunderstood. In response to this alarming disconnect, this monograph reviews and synthesizes the existing body of literature on immigrant students, with special attention placed on transitions to college and collegiate experiences. The authors lay a foundation for future research and draw out implications for policies and practices that will better serve the educational needs of this growing population. This is the 6th issue of the 38th volume of the Jossey-Bass series ASHE Higher Education Report. Each monograph is the definitive analysis of a tough higher education issue, based on thorough research of pertinent literature and institutional experiences. Topics are identified by a national survey. Noted practitioners and scholars are then commissioned to write the reports, with experts providing critical reviews of each manuscript before publication.

This qualitative study explored the experiences and challenges of six undocumented students in higher education. Through in-depth interviews, the study sought to assist teachers, college counselors, faculty and academic support staff in understanding the unique needs of undocumented students in their pursuit toward higher and to pinpoint particular academic support services needed to help them persist until graduation. A portraiture design was utilized to capture each student's experiences and challenges. This approach allowed the researcher to enter into each student's life and experience their hopes and dreams of being a college graduate and discover how they face each barrier of being undocumented. The findings revealed each student's emotional effects of being undocumented and the emotionally supportive efforts of instructors, college counselors and administrators that empowered them graduate high school and peruse higher education.

Rincon reviews the struggle by undocumented immigrant students to gain access to college by paying in-state tuition rates. 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 "aliens" and "illegals," devoid of all rights simply because they are working and living in a country other than the one in which they were born.

This book weaves together two distinct and powerfully related sources of knowledge: the author’s journey and transition from a once undocumented immigrant from Guatemala to a hyperdocumented academic, and five years of on-going national research on the identity, education, and agency of undocumented college students. In interlacing both personal experiences with findings from her empirical qualitative research, Chang explores practical and theoretical pedagogical, curricular, and policy-related discussions around issues that impact undocumented immigrants while provide compelling rich narrative vignettes. Collectively, these findings support the argument that undocumented students can cultivate an empowering self-identity by performing the role of infallible cultural citizen.

Immigration is arguably among the most divisive global and national issues at present. In the U.S., undocumented persons (the DREAMers) who arrived to the U.S. as children have been the central focus of legislation and debate. As of 2013, the undocumented population has increased from less than a million in 1980, then reaching 12.2 million in 2006, to an estimated population of 11.3 million (Passel, Cohn, Krogstand, & Gonzalez-Barerra, 2014) just a few short years ago. For the numerous undocumented students who have excelled academically and socially, and make positive contributions to their communities, the goal of obtaining a college degree is naturally the next step after high school. While undocumented students face intractable challenges in the areas of residency/citizenship, the college admission process, and financing their education, many still find their way on college campuses seeking degree completion. Academic advisors are uniquely positioned to support the persistence and graduation of students, especially undocumented students. Therefore, this research examined perspectives and behaviors of advisors concerning their interactions with undocumented students in public universities utilizing the framework of Michael Lipsky's (1980) understanding of street-level bureaucracy to determine the discretionary behaviors exercised by academic advisors who advise undocumented students. Study participants included college advisors located in the middle southern and western regions of the United States, where undocumented populations are highest. A qualitative methodology with a case study research design was used in this phenomenological guided research to determine two major study findings: (a) academic advisors are exercising discretionary behavior in advising undocumented students and general population students and (b) the academic advising needs of undocumented students differ from other students. This study has contributed to public administration and higher education advising literature by providing insight into how advisors understand their roles, implement policy, and participate in divergence to meet the needs of students.

Americans by Heart examines the plight of undocumented Latino students as they navigate the educational and legal tightrope presented by their immigration status. Many of these students are accepted to attend some of our best colleges and universities but cannot afford the tuition to do so because they are not eligible for financial aid or employment. For the few that defy the odds and manage to graduate, their status continues to present insurmountable barriers to employment. This timely and compelling account brings to light the hard work and perseverance of these students and their families; their commitment to education and civic participation; and their deep sense of uncertainty and marginality. Offering a rich in-depth analysis, the author presents a new framework for educational policies that recognizes the merit and potential of undocumented Latino students and links their situation to larger social and policy issues of immigration reform and higher education access.

It is estimated that approximately 65,000 undocumented students graduate from U.S. high schools every year across the United States. However, only five to ten percent of these students go on to college (NCSL, 2011). Under U.S. law, undocumented students who wish to pursue a higher education are not eligible to receive financial aid and are treated as international students who must pay out-of-state tuition rates even if they have lived in the U.S. for most of their lives. Since federal legislation to help undocumented students enroll in colleges and universities has not passed to date, some states have taken the matter into their own hands and enacted a state version of the DREAM Act making undocumented students eligible to receive in-state tuition benefits and thus making college more affordable and feasible. Other states however have enacted opposing legislation creating financial obstacles for undocumented students to attend public colleges or universities or even prohibiting them from enrolling or attending these postsecondary institutions. The present study aims at examining states with current statutes or regulations either for or against in-state tuition benefits. Demographic data from 2000 and 2010 of the Latino populations in selected states are used to examine for associations between Latino population growth and the condition of population anxiety (Bobo & Hutchings, 1996; Semyonov et al., 2004; Fossett & Kiecolt, 1989; Esses et al., 2001) that might lead states to anti-immigrant legislation. The analysis indicates that states that have passed legislation to restrict undocumented students from public universities tend to have higher levels of recent Latino population growth compared with states that permit undocumented students to enroll in public universities and colleges. In addition, other factors, such as Latino historical presence and advocacy coalitions, are also assessed for their significance in impacting state legislation affecting the ability of undocumented students to attend public universities.

The purpose of this study is to explore and understand how undocumented students construct their sense of reality as college students by retaining positive feelings toward higher education. Given their college experience is shaped by their undocumented status limiting their access to such things as financial aid, scholarships and loans, how do they reconcile the contradictions of their college experience given their undocumented status? The participants in this study were between the ages of 18 and 27 who have or are currently attending a suburban college. Many undocumented students decide to risk pursuing higher education despite knowing that upon completing a degree, it will still be difficult to find work in the United States. Currently, only twelve of the fifty states allow undocumented students to pursue higher education paying in-state tuition if certain criteria are met. Using primary data collected from archives, legal documents and ten in-depth, semi-structured interviews, this study uses a symbolic and phenomenological framework. During the course of this study, Deferred Action was announced which further complicates their lives given it only grants a two year window for work with no promise of amnesty or hope of legal residency. The results reconfirm previous themes that have been discussed in previous literature and research, but also indicate a need for future research to establish a better understanding of the experiences of undocumented students.
