Abstract
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 1982 that the children of undocumented immigrants have a right to a free, public education. But those rights present schools and children with difficult obstacles. About 1.5 million undocumented children and youth live in the United States, a statistic that evokes both burdens and opportunities. Many immigrants had little education in their country of origin and might not be equipped to assist their children. Children face mobility issues of transferring in and out of school related to their parents' employment, language barriers are all around, and cultural and social adjustments to the American way of schooling and in the schoolhouse pose obstacles for the students as well. Further, sometimes parents get deported, leaving unaccompanied minors.
