No, it's not correct that 39% of California students are undocumented

The image of the virus on social media - the image criticizing illegal immigrants - has been circulating for years. According to Snopes.com, the list of complaints was first published in the form of e-mail chains in 2006. Six years later, we confirmed some claims on our own.

According to estimates by Enrico A. Marcelli of San Diego State University and Manuel Pastor of the University of Southern California, approximately 3% of California children (defined as children under the age of 18) are not documented during 2008 I was an immigrant. 39% by recommendation

There is another way to examine the extent of immigration that is not documented in California's K-12 system - see the proportion of unauthorized parents of California's K-12 students

According to the Pew Research Center, 12% of California's K-12 students had unapproved immigrant guards in 2014.

This is a broader category - not only parents but also students - yet it is not close to 39% of memes

Jeffrey Passel, senior demographer at Pew Research Center, says:

Manuel Pastor, Director of the Center for Immigration and Integration Studies, University of Southern California, said 39% of people "gone".

This is much higher than the most reliable estimate we have ever seen. Perhaps 3% of the students do not have the documents themselves, and 12.3% of the students have undocumented parents.

Education Trust - The West is an advocacy group in Auckland and one out of 750,000 students living in 12 to 12 schools in California has a parent not listed in the document and the total number of registrations is 620 It is all. Some of these students may not have their own documents, but the majority of K-12 children whose parents do not have a document are US citizens. In an interview with the Associated Press last week, Mr. Trump said that undocumented students who received temporary aid through the DACA program can "be at rest". "We do not follow dreamers, we are following criminals," he said. "This is our policy." The term "Dreamers" is used unofficially to refer to DACA students who must be at least 15 years of age to qualify.

There are some early evidences that the political situation is bringing chills to the university process of students who are not documented. In California, 25% of the country's undocumented immigrant population applied for funds through the national DREAM law and provided state university financial aid, community college exemption, other subsidies law to undocumented students We are accepting you. According to the California Student Support Committee, about 34,000 students submitted a dream application on March 2, last year. Approximately 12,000 students have submitted the application so far. This may be because the student has to wait until the last minute to apply.

To help undocumented students attend university, at least 18 states passed a law that provides students not documented with the opportunity to earn tuition fees in the state. California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Kansas, Maryland, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhodes Island, Texas, Utah State and Washington State, undocumented students can go to state elementary and junior high school and graduate and pay the same university tuition fee as residents of other states. Under law, normally undocumented students go to schools in the state for a period of time and oblige state high school to graduate.

New York seeks to reduce barriers to higher education for undocumented immigrants. As in California, undocumented students are eligible to pay state tuition fees in certain circumstances. In New York, after graduating from New York's high school for at least two years (or after completing GED in New York), an affidavit to oblige students not listed in the document for five years and apply for legal entry permission I will submit a letter (Rhymer 2005). Today, the New York State Assembly is considering a bill that allows undocumented immigrants to participate in the state's class support program. This increases the chances of undocumented students receiving higher education (Jimenez and Lee, 2006).
