Mauricio Gomez of the Kansas University Office of Multicultural Affairs notes undocumented students struggle to pay tuition and find jobs. President Obama’s June executive order creating Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals grants two-year work permits and deportation relief to qualifying youths, aiding those brought to the U.S. before age 16 who have stayed five years, finished high school, and avoided certain crimes. The program, supported by groups like HALO, marks a potential turning point for these students.
