One of the biggest topics in the media and politics today is immigrants. Many travel to the United states for miles and days in order to be part of the “American Dream”. Some of these people who decide to migrate and risk their lives are not only parents but also children ranging from months old to teenagers. “California has over 25,000 undocumented students graduating from California high schools each year” (Underground Undergrads, 3).
