Most people who work with the system don't even understand all of the policies and legal guidelines. However, two things are true. 1. Once someone is in the country without documentation it is not possible to gain citizenship without leaving the country and then spending as long as ten years trying to get back in legally causing major problems for the person and their family. 2. Gaining legal status can be an extremely expensive process that most immigrants simply do not have the resources for.  The United Nations has recognized migration for the sake of protecting and improving a person's basic condition of life as a human right. If our laws not respecting this human right, it is our responsibility to make sure they work to protect human dignity and equality.  Citizen, I would be more than happy to supply you with factual resources about this issue.  U.S. immigration policy is very complicated.

I'm at graduate Social Work student at the University of Michigan and part of Social Work Allies for Immigrant Rights (SWAIR). We just started a mentor program for high school DREAMERS. It would be worthwhile to look into Madonna University as well. They are another private University in Metro Detroit and very supportive of the cause.  This list is helpful.
