Undocumented immigrants face diverse challenged when pursuing postsecondary education. The imposition of out-of-state tuition fees effectively keeps them out of college in most of the United States. This report provides a repository of financial resources for undocumented students. ; Immigrants Rising

Since the 1990s, immigrant settlement has expanded beyond gateway cities and transformed the social fabric of a growing number of American cities. In the process, it has raised new questions for urban and migration scholars. This article argues that immigration to new destinations provides an opportunity to sharpen understandings of the relationship between immigration and the urban by exploring it under new conditions. Through a discussion of immigrant settlement in Nashville, Tennessee, it identifies an overlooked precursor to immigrant incorporation—how cities see, or do not see, immigrants within the structure of local government. If immigrants are not institutionally visible to government or nongovernmental organizations, immigrant abilities to make claims to or on the city as urban residents are diminished. Through the combination of trends toward neighborhood-based urban governance and neoliberal streamlining across American cities, immigrants can become institutionally hard to find and, thus, plan for in the city.

This paper is an analysis of the determinants of self‐reported health status of immigrants, with a particular focus on the type of visa used to gain admission. The empirical analysis uses the three waves of the Longitudinal Survey of Immigrants to Australia (panel I). Immigrant health is greater for immigrants who are younger, more educated, male, more proficient in English, and living outside an immigrant ethnic enclave. Immigrant health is poorest for refugees and best for independent (economic) migrants, and declines with duration in the destination. Alternative hypotheses for the decline in immigrant health with duration are explored (JEL I12, J15, J61, F22).

In the waning days of the Obama Administration, with Trump's promised immigration crackdown looming, over one hundred advocacy organizations joined forces to urge President Obama to permanently protect hundreds of thousands of immigrants from deportation by pardoning their breaches of civil immigration law. That pardon never materialized and, as expected, the Trump enforcement regime is sowing terror and devastation in immigrant communities nationwide. While it seems unfathomable that the current president would use his pardon power to mitigate even the most extreme applications of our nation's immigration laws, there is unfortunately no indication that the harshest aspects of the immigration laws are likely to be revised by the current political branches. Accordingly, future presidents will likely once again face the questions of how they may use prosecutorial discretion generally, and the pardon power specifically, to address the human toll of such laws. Since the founding, the pardon power has been used primarily to forgive individual criminal convictions. Thus the broad civil immigration pardon, which Obama declined to issue, would have raised novel questions regarding the appropriate boundaries the presidential pardon power. Resolution of those previously unexplored questions is necessary to help future presidents determine whether their pardon power can serve as a safety valve to alleviating the disproportionate penalties that our immigration laws have imposed on longtime members of our communities.This article explores the novel concept of a civil immigration pardon. Specifically, it closely examines the language and drafting history of the Pardon Clause, exhaustively reviews early and modern pardon practice and jurisprudence, and considers whether a president could, consistent with the Constitution, use that power to protect some of the largest categories of noncitizens currently at risk of deportation. Ultimately, it argues that that the president possesses the constitutional authority to categorically pardon broad classes of immigrants for civil violations of the immigration laws and to thereby provide durable and permanent protections against deportation. As millions of noncitizens and their families face a historically unprecedented wave of deportations and as traditional mechanisms for policymaking continue to fail, the immigration pardon offers an important tool for future presidents to forgive the civil offenses that result in some of the most unforgiving penalties in our nation's justice system.

This article explores the paradoxes of Toronto's experience of immigrant and minority political incorporation. The city once synonymous with ethnic homogeneity is now among the world's most multicultural urban centers. The city, which proclaims "Diversity Our Strength" as its official motto, has a poor record of electing immigrants and minorities to public office. And the city, whose municipal council is overwhelmingly composed of White, European-origin politicians, has an exemplary record of promoting inclusion, equity, antiracism, and human rights in its policies and programs. The article analyzes these ambiguities of governing immigrant city Toronto.

En este supuesto práctico, vamos a resolver la situación que se nos plantea y que es la siguiente: se trata de un alumno immigrante, procedente de China,que llega a nuestro centro y al que tenemos que hacerle una adaptación, puesto que no habla nada de Inglés y sus conocimientos de la lengua española son escasos. Se trata de un grupo de segundo curso de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria. Tendremos que plantearnos una metodología inclusiva atendiendo a la legislación vigente en esta materia. ; In this case study, we will have to solve or to give answer to a particular situation which is having an immigrant student in class. This is a possibility to give him/her proper accomodation. He/ she is from China and does speak English and speaks a little bit of Spanish. It is a group of Second year of Compulsory Secondary Education. In this case we wll follow an inclusive methodology according to our Spanish current legislation.
