Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), which began in 2012 through an Obama executive order, provides individuals who entered the country illegally or overstayed visas as minors with work permits and protection from deportation. Of the approximately 11 million undocumented people in the United States, 690,000 hold DACA permits. They are known as Dreamers--a term derived from the name of the proposed DREAM Act, which was introduced in Congress in 2001 and aimed to create a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants brought to the US as children. However the Trump Administration announced the DACA program's repeal, calling it "an unconstitutional exercise of authority by the Executive Branch." The repeal came with a six-month grace period for Congress to pass legislation on the issue. In 2018, the first DACA permits started to expire. As of this article, a legislative solution had not been forged, leaving DACA Dreamers in anxious states of limbo. This article examines how colleges and universities are trying to keep their undocumented students motivated when DACA and other policies are in question.
