Abstract

After Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival (DACA, 2012) was rescinded

by the Trump Administration in 2017, many students were left in “limbo

legality” (Gonzalez 2012) This study addresses the question, “What are the

experiences of undocumented students regarding their academic motivation

toward graduation now that DACA has been rescinded at San Jos. State

University (SJSU)?” Grounded in a Chicana Feminist Epistemology

approach, the methodology of testimonio is used to capture the experiences

of the author alongside an undocumented graduate student. Findings

suggest that college campuses should incorporate faculty knowledgeable in

policies that affect undocumented students, Undocumented Ally trainings

in college campuses, and campus support groups specifically for

undocumented students.
