A Harvard Attorney Whose Job Is Advising Undocumented Students in the Age of Trump
Corral, Jason
New England Journal of Higher Education, Apr 2018
As an immigration attorney for the past 14 years in both private practice and legal services, the author feels confident in saying there is not a "single" kind of immigrant or one kind of immigration story. There are multifarious individuals and families of diverse global origin bearing a cornucopia of ideas, perspectives, hopes and dreams. This past year, the author was given another vantage point to observe the manifold immigration experience when he was hired by Harvard University to provide legal representation to its DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) and undocumented students in order to prepare for the anti-immigrant threats that Donald Trump made on the campaign trail. In this article, the author shares his experience.
