Challenges Facing Latinx ESOL Students in the Trump Era: Stories Told through "Testimonios"
Journal of Latinos and Education, v19 n4 p383-391 2020
In this essay, two ESOL teachers reflect on the implications of the DACA program and the DREAM Act for undocumented Latinx ELs, their families, and their communities in the United States. Six "testimonios" from real undocumented ELs are shared with the vision of illustrating the real-life struggles these students and their families are exposed to in the Trump era. The authors' vision is that these "testimonios" will shed light on the realities their students experience and will combat stereotypical beliefs that Latinx ELs/immigrants are uneducated, do not value education, cannot learn English, and have a poor work ethic.
