College Administrators: Immigrant Students and Sanctuary Cities

college administrators: New Mexico has a higher percentage of Latino residents than any other state, according to The Chronicle Herald. Meanwhile, pressure is building from advocates in California, Illinois, Minnesota and Texas for universities there to provide sanctuary to these immigrant students, known as DREAMers. College administrators in New Mexico are looking into proposals that would grant immigrant students living in the country illegally protections while they pursue their studies. Some advocates and professors are asking colleges not to co-operate with federal authorities on immigrant issues, while others want administrators to block federal immigration authorities from searching campuses. He also vowed to withhold federal funding from sanctuary cities. The movement comes after President-elect Donald Trump promised to end an executive order that granted temporary status to students living in the country illegally. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
