Roberto G. Gonzales, “Learning to be Illegal: Undocumented Youth and Shifting Legal Contexts in the Transition to Adulthood”, Am Sociological Review, 2011
Transition of Undocumented Youth into Adulthood:
There are several limitations that undocumented youth experience:
• Educational
• Economic
• Social
These limitations “diminish the likelihood of those individuals to fully participate in society”
They learn about these limitations, for example, when:

• Applying to college
• Attempting to obtain employment
• Acquire driver’s licenses
