The combined forces of globalization, the economic crisis and the emphasis on immigration reform have made undocumented immigrants one of the most visible and targeted populations in the United States. Children from undocumented families bear the psychological burden of this visibility, while at the same time remaining quite invisible within their schools (Solis 2003; Abrego 2008).
