3. How do some students self-identify?
Undocumented
Out-of-State
UndocuQueer
DACA or DACAmented
AB540
International
Dreamer
Noticed patterns of how people self-identify based on their nationality
Most AAPI undocumented students use (1) international (2) Out of state and (3) Dreamer
Dreamer tends to be a “comfort” word. Remember “confort” means “a state of physical ease and freedom from pain or constraint and the easing or alleviation of a person's feelings of grief or distress”. This makes sense when individuals who are not open about their immigration status because of the lack of empowerment, unresolved shame, confusion, etc.
Younger generations who use “DACA Recipient or DACAmented” feel like they have a different status and are no longer undocumented (I have to pop their bubble!)
Some students have taken the word “illegal” back! I challenge you NOT to use it.

8. Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA)
Work Authorization Number
SSN
The best way to discuss DACA is to discuss what it is not.
DACA is not a pathway to citizenship
It is not a green card
It is not permanent
It is not legal status (different between legal and lawful)
Executive Order: June 15, 2012, the President Obama announced that certain people who came to the United States as children and meet several key guidelines may request consideration of deferred action for a period of two years, subject to renewal, and would then be eligible for work authorization.
Deferred/Protected from deportation.
