Abstract: Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals continues to be an issue of national concern, as both individuals who were afforded its temporary reprieve and other undocumented individuals fear deportation. Close to home, DACA's effect ripples across the nation. For undocumented youth, the ability to earn a post-secondary education is the pathway "out of the shadows" - out of socioeconomic inequality. As of 2019, while some U.S. states permitted undocumented individuals residing within their geographical limits the same tuition subsidies at public institutions as other state residents who were U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents, more than half of the U.S. states prohibited these subsidies. Without DACA, one could argue that undocumented youth would not enroll or continue in postsecondary education, and thus, post-secondary enrollment of undocumented youth is dictated by federal immigration policy. However, this study shows that individual states have substantial power to control and affect the enrollment of undocumented youth residents.
