The topic of immigration has become increasingly volatile in U.S.
society, and undocumented college students play a central role in
mobilizing and politicizing a critical mass of activists to push
forth a pro-immigration agenda, in particular the Development,
Relief, and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act. The DREAM Act
is the only federal legislation that would grant conditional
citizenship and some financial aid assistance to undocumented
students who have completed two years of college or enlist in
military service. Since the DREAM Act failed to pass, undocumented
students have moved from peaceful marches to acts of civil
disobedience, seeking to disrupt the public discourse that
positions undocumented students as living in the shadows of our
system. Undocumented college students have created public forums in
which they "come out" from these invisible images and pronounce
themselves as "undocumented and unafraid".
