This study evaluates the recent political context in which foreign-born noncitizen immigrants in the United States exist, their traditional and new settlement locations of residence, and where they are most likely to use public policies that encourage college enrollment. Legislative trends indicate that state activity continues to evolve around the issue of college access for undocumented immigrants, whereas U.S. congressional activity on the federal version of this educational legislation and general immigration policy remains unresolved.
n: Este estudio evalúa el contexto político reciente en el que inmigrantes extranjeros no-ciudadanos se encuentran en los Estados Unidos de América; sus arreglos tradicionales y nuevos lugares de residencia, y donde existen más posibilidades de utilizar políticas públicas que apoyan inscripciones universitarias. Tendencias legislativas indican que la actividad estatal continúa evolucionando alrededor del problema de acceso universitario para inmigrantes sin documentos, mientras que la actividad del congreso estadounidense en la versión federal de esta legislación educacional y política inmigratoria general se mantiene sin resolución.
