Blocked Paths, Uncertain Futures: The Postsecondary Education and Labor Market Prospects of Undocumented Latino Youth (2010, background): “…derived from obtaining legal status would likely be even greater for the undocumented 1.5 generation because these students would combine their newfound labor mobility and freedom from immigration enforcement with significantly increased educational attainment (Cheeseman-Day & Newburger, 2002).”
