Many undocumented young people like myself, do not qualify for DACA, which targets a rather narrow population lucky enough to meet all of its requirements... Case-by-case attempts to salvage parts of this untapped pool of talent have been successful, as evidenced by that passage of a bill to allow undocumented attorney Sergio Garcia to practice law, and the UCSF admission this fall of its first undocumented medical student. These two exceptions are simply a drop in the pool of undocumented workers – future attorneys, doctors, and lawyers – that currently make up nearly 10% of California’s workforce and collectively contribute around $130 billion to the state’s GDP. via Luz Sandoval of Educators for Fair Consideration (E4FC) parent org of PHD: Pre-Health Dreamers a local partner for the Documented theatrical in Berkeley, CA a few months ago.
