or many, the hardest part of jotting down a social
security number is remembering those nine
digits, but for UCSC’s undocumented students
those empty boxes are room for anxiety.
Undocumented immigrants —those without
active immigration papers— do not have access to
the institutional resources many of us take advantage
of everyday.
This status prohibits access to federal
financial aid and most jobs —two obstacles that create
a sea of barriers for undocumented students.
Carmen Macias and David Padilla are both
undocumented student activists on-campus in
Students Informing Now (SIN).
Most students can rely
on the career center staff and department counselors
to provide insight for post-UCSC life.
Macias and
Padilla seek alternatives for the resources many take
for granted.
