San Diego Community College District’s Commitment to
Immigrant Students
Dr. Maria Nieto SenourBoard President

California DREAM Act
Each year about 25,000 undocumented students graduate from high school in California
AB 540 (Firebaugh, 2001) allows undocumented students to be exempted from paying nonresident tuition at California public institutions of higher education under specified conditions (e.g., 3-years high school attendance or graduation, filed affidavit, etc.)
AB 131 (Cedillo, 2011) allows undocumented students who were brought to the US illegally before the age of 16 and who otherwise meet criteria for in-state tuition to apply for financial aid
20
Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act
First introduced in the U.S. Senate on August 1, 2001
Would allow young undocumented immigrants a pathway to legal resident status if they attend college or serve in the militaryo Must have arrived in the US as minors, graduated from US
high schools, and lived in the US continuously for 5 years prior to the bill’s enactment
o If they were to complete two years in the military or two years at a four-year institution of higher learning, they would obtain temporary residency for a six-year period, during which they could qualify for permanent residency
As of November 2013, 15 states have their own versions of the DREAM Act, which deal with tuition prices and financial aid for state universities.
21
Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA)
The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) was immigration policy that allowed some individuals who entered the country as minors, and had either entered or remained in the country illegally, to receive a renewable two-year period of deferred action from deportation and to be eligible for a work permit.
As of 2017, approximately 800,000 individuals—referred to as Dreamers were enrolled in the program created by DACA. The policy was established by the Obama administration June 2012 and rescinded by the Trump administration in September 2017.
