From 2016 to 2023, undocumented student enrollment at California's public universities dropped by about 50%, highlighting the impact of DACA restrictions on access to education.
The findings underscore how common it is for young Gen Z undocumented college students to struggle when DACA is beyond reach and when they are excluded from campus jobs.
This decline emphasizes the unique challenges undocumented students face compared to their low-income peers who have citizenship, pointing to the urgent need for legislative action.
The study serves as a reminder that action is needed to address the fading away of DACA, which benefited so many young noncitizens, stressing the importance of future reforms.
