The University of Texas at El Pasohas always been a very diverse and multicultural
university from the beginning, especially since we live right by the boarder there is a lot of the
Hispanic culture in where we are all able to mix our cultures and ethnicities together and make a
wonderful community that makes us unique. With all these new strict immigration laws that have
been enacted and the way life has been changing a lot all around us makes us wonder what we as
a community are doing for those students who are under the DACA program or students who are
immigrants. The DACA program (or deferred action for childhood arrivals) is extremely
important because it’s what keeps our students at UTEP with us and without it our university
would change completely and it would never be the same. As an education major, I want to
know if the education program at the university is doing anything concerning the immigration
laws and if there are students who are in the education program who are affected by the laws and
are at risk of being deported. Are there any organizations, programs, or even meetings that take
place here at UTEP? I hope to discover that UTEP does do a lot for our DACA students and that
they have a good future here with us at with at the university. There should be more
organizations to not only help them in a political way but also in an emotional way.

Gallo, S., & Link, H. (2016). Exploring the Borderlands: Elementary School Teachers’
According to Gallo and Link, attending to teachers’ experiences may help create spaces
for more critical attention to the impacts of navigating difference, such as immigration
status, on teaching (p.181). With all the new rules and regulations that have been set
towards the banning of immigrants, Gallo and Link argue that teachers should be more
practiced on how to work with children in those situations. They believe that teachers do
not have enough or any experience in a situation where a child may lose his/her parent(s)
due to immigration laws and it is unacceptable for a child to not have their teacher to turn
to. A teacher is generally supposed be there for a child no matter what, and a child is
supposed to trust their teacher so they are just saying how a teacher should be well taught

laws and many would rather not want immigration laws to be an issue. Burnett, Kugler,

According to Stewart, says Dworkin, unless our society improves its educational
programs for immigrants, we will see the underclass grow and the United States will not
benefit from the contributions that the immigrants can do for us (p.236). This is despite
the fact that under new law immigrants are being deported back to their countries, even
though they benefit the United States. The author argues that we need immigrants in the
United States because they have the potential of enriching our nation and changing our
nation for the better. Having good education programs for immigrants would be a good
way of teaching them about our nation and getting them closer to having citizenship

because English is not their first language, but the authors compare the immigrant
students to the American ones and say that their education level is the same.

and to be attending overcrowded, underfunded inner-city schools that offer too few of the
critical resource and social support systems that enable young people in general to
graduate from high school and go on to college(p.12). Klineberg argues that immigrants
are less likely to be educated, not because they do not care or value education but because
they live in poverty where there are not enough resources to get them where they need to
be. Although there are many programs out there for minorities that may help them, many
of them live in places where there is not enough help or money to get them started which
causes them to either give up or have to work instead of attending school. The author
argues that if we changed the way they lived and we helped and cared more then we

educators can come alongside undocumented students to make a change (p.197). This is

members that have their citizenship and some have even lived a majority of their life over
here. Crawford and Arnold argue that Educators are here to help undocumented students
reach their academic and life goals. They believe that if people were to stand together and
were more in favor of immigrant students then there could be a chain effect and change
would occur.

According to Moreno, migrants and their children now represent more than half of the
student population in many urban schools and post-secondary educational (p. 419). In the
journal article the author argues that there are many migrants coming into our schools in
the USA, and she argues if we as a nation and if universities are doing anything to
accommodate the transition of the new people. This is despite the fact that many laws are
now trying to get rid of the DACA students and are sending them back to their country
and/or deporting their parents back. The author asks and answers if our universities are
doing something to help these students feel more included and a part of our schools, in a

Thorndike’s claim that intelligence is what intelligence tests measure is not entirely
facetious. With this you are able to assume that immigration children are probably
stereotyped and their tests scores are not as they seem. Despite this the author still says
