Brief Description: According to the Migration Policy Institute, immigrant children are the “lost generation” of the underground economy. While immigration reform has been a subject of intense political debate and controversial legislative action, the plight of undocumented children, who have been raised in the United States, is largely overlooked. Many of these individuals have not been steeped in the language and culture of their home countries, and when confronted with the possibility of being removed from the United States, find themselves functionally stateless. The purpose of the conference is to make visible the invisible plight of this groups by focusing on how issues of immigration such as documentation, repatriation, asylum, trafficking, and exclusion from higher education, among others, differentially impact children.
