Abstract	In this article, I show that the intersection between education policy and immigration law in the United States sustains a permanent underclass and reinforces the deliberate disenfranchisement of students without authorized immigration status. I critically analyze the Supreme Court case "Plyler s. Doe", and I suggest the DREAM Act as a means for these students to secure a "right to rights" for economic, social, and political agency. At the heart of the argument is my assertion that domiciled residency ought to ensure these students' right to educational equity within the United States, from preschool through postsecondary levels. Throughout, I reflect on the amassing group of well-educated students, whose papers are diplomas, and who increasingly make apparent the futility of citizenship status for demarcating possibilities for mobile border crossing--not only territorial borders, but also the walls built up to obstruct class and social border crossings. (As Provided).
