Anita Casavantes Bradford, associate professor of Chicano/Latino studies and history;
Laura E. Enriquez, assistant professor of Chicano/Latino studies; Susan Bibler Coutin,
professor of criminology, law, and society and anthropology at the University of California,

educators to also consider how they can support the broader undocumented immigrant
population in their communities and nationwide.
