“One of my students has been here since she was 1 year old, but she can’t afford to pay the out-of-state rate to a university in a place she’s grown up in,” Mr. Lakin said. “Her mother has a work permit and pays taxes here, yet her daughter is essentially denied access to higher education.”

“This student always assumed she’d go to a good college,” Mr. Lakin said. “She’s used to getting awards and internships, but nobody ever explained to her the gravity of what remaining undocumented would mean for her college prospects.”
