Title: Students Who are Undocumented and Identify as Queer (Information Resource)
Description: Research on the matter is limited, but estimates suggest there are 11 million undocumented immigrants in the U.S. Of these, recent a ppraisals suggest a range from 267,000 to as many as .5 million identify as LGBT (lesbian, gay, bi
sexual, transgender, questioning, etc.). Many of these are minors or young adults pursuing an education.
Despite some progress in establishing rights fo r undocumented and LGBTQ students, barriers that interfere with their schooling are common for these youngsters. And this is especially so for undocumented young people who also identify as “queer.” Access at: http://smhp.psych.ucla.edu/pdfdocs/lgbtq.pdf
