现有文献阐明了年轻无证移民面临的多重障碍，但我们对这些挑战在无证青年中的差异知之甚少。本文探讨了如何无证青年“管理”他们的法律的地位在教育背景下的变化。借鉴拉丁美洲/o，亚裔美国人和太平洋岛民（API），和黑人无证年轻人在加州的采访，我分析了影响因素，以及如何青年决定透露或隐瞒法律的地位，从学校人员或同龄人，以及教育的后果，这样的决定。我发现无证学生隐藏法律的身份的决定，虽然实际上，可以限制社会网络的形成和限制获得学术资源。然而，透露或隐瞒法律的身份的决定并不是统一的，而是因政治和社会背景以及在同族裔社交网络内获得支持的机会而异。最后，了解其他无证移民是无证青年在教育系统中导航的重要资源。
Existing literature illuminates the multiple barriers young undocumented immigrants face, yet we know little about how these challenges vary among undocumented youth. This article explores variation in how undocumented youth “manage” their legal status in the educational context. Drawing on interviews with Latina/o, Asian American and Pacific Islander (API), and black undocumented young adults in California, I analyze the factors influencing when and how youth decide to reveal or conceal legal status from school personnel or peers, and the educational consequences of such decisions. I find undocumented students’ decisions to hide legal status, while practical, can constrain social network formation and limit access to academic resources. However, decisions to reveal or conceal legal status are not made uniformly but vary by political and social context, and access to support within co-ethnic social networks. Finally, knowing other undocumented immigrants is an important resource for undocumented youth as they navigate the educational system.
