“Mario Escobar’s boisterous laughter dies out as he tells his story. As other students focus on their final exams this week, he also has to cope with the possibility of being deported to a violent country.

“It’s crazy; it’s a hell,” said Escobar, a fourth-year English and Spanish student.

Escobar is one of dozens of UCLA students who are undocumented, meaning that they do not have the papers necessary to be legal residents of the United States. While there is no official count of such students, an on-campus support group for undocumented students has nearly 60 members.”
