Navigating Immigrant Illegality: Higher Education and Student Affairs Professionals' Experiences with Undocumented Students in the Southern United States
Blanca Elizabeth Vega
College Student Affairs Journal, v43 n2 p44-51 2025
For this reflexive essay, I examine how immigration policy influences the student affairs profession, with a particular focus on undocumented students. I will first review how immigration and student affairs intersect. Then, I will discuss ideologies that shape Southern student affairs. Finally, I will share brief findings from my research and what I have learned from Southern student affairs professionals who work with undocumented students.
