Looking at the Numbers

that our president in power has
targeted for, at the very least,
anti-immigrant rhetoric but also
for deportation and removal.”
Student
advocacy
groups
have
responded
negatively
to the decision. Engineering
senior Javier Contreras has
been involved in immigration
advocacy
for
five
years
at
three
different
schools.
He
began
his
work
in
a
mentorship
program
in
his
senior year of high school,
helping
students
find
colleges with resources for
undocumented
students.
Contreras
is
a
DACA
recipient and has focused
his
recent
advocacy
on
protecting
undocumented
University students.
“Generally,
we’re
not
going to have a proper
portrayal of our presence,”
Contreras
said.
“The
numbers would lie and be
skewed to say that we have
a smaller presence (than we
do).”
Contreras noted DACA
applicants
are
required
to provide a large amount
of
personal
information,
including
past
addresses
and fingerprints, but usually
find the benefits outweigh
concerns about the use of
that information. He claims
the same would not be true
for the census. Contreras
also said information and
language
barriers
could
stoke more fear and lead
to an even lower amount of
responses from immigrants.
LSA
senior
Alejandro
Navarrete works at the Student
Community
of
Progressive
Empowerment, which supports
and
serves
undocumented
students. Like Contreras, he has
been working in immigration
advocacy
for
his
entire
undergraduate career.
“The usability of the census
for
any
type
of
empirical
research
would
also
be
impacted,
which
would
pretty much make the census
useless, especially given the high
proportion of undocumented
immigrants that live in the
country,” Navarrete said.
Navarrete said undocumented
University students will not be
in immediate trouble, and other
issues are far more pressing for
undocumented
immigrants.
However, he expressed concerns
about the long-term effects of an
inaccurate population count,
which could potentially hurt
the immigrant population as a
whole.
“When drafting policy —
thinking about who constituents
are
—
representatives
will
underestimate
the
number
of
immigrants
and
also
underestimate the effect of
immigrants,” Navarrete said.
“In the long term, it will just be a
negative for any progress related
to the estimate of immigration’s
impact on the country.”
CENSUS
From Page 1
On Monday evening, current
and
incoming
University
of
Michigan
Central
Student
Government
leadership
released a statement of support
for the Lecturers’ Employee
Organization.
The
statement
encourages students to engage
in
LEO
bargaining
efforts
and support lecturers at the
University.
Since
last
October,
LEO
has been bargaining with the
University for increased wages
and benefits. According to the
statement, LEO is comprised of
1,700 non-tenure track faculty
across all three campuses, and
in the 2016-2017 school year
generated $462 million for the
University. Lecturers’ contracts
are set to expire on April 20,
and while the administration
had initially responded to LEO’s
requests with a proposition,
LEO referred to their proposal
as “insulting.” If the University
does not properly comply with
LEO’s
demands,
they
have
authorized a possible vote for a
strike.
The joint CSG statement,
signed by current CSG President
Anushka Sarker, an LSA senior
and CSG Vice President Nadine
Jawad, a Public Policy senior, and
incoming CSG President Daniel
Greene, a Public Policy junior,
and CSG Vice President Izzy
Baer, an LSA sophomore, called
for students to stand in solidarity
with LEO. The CSG leadership
also acknowledged the hardships
lecturers at the University face
due to low salaries.
“When
our
lecturers
are
forced to work multiple jobs,
face
food
insecurity,
and
struggle to make ends meet
in Ann Arbor, we as students
feel the repercussions through
the quality of teaching in our
classrooms,” the statement read.
“Lecturers’ working conditions
are our learning conditions.”
CSG
leadership
also
encouraged
students
to
participate in the LEO Weekend
of Action, which will take place
from April 6 through April 10,
and will include open bargaining
sessions and a potential strike if
LEO demands are not properly
acknowledged.
