The closing of Cardinal Stritch University in Milwaukee is a huge loss for many undocumented students in the state. The university was known for giving grants and opportunities to undocumented kids who don’t have access to higher education. There are an estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the United States. They can attend public schools but it’s more difficult for them when they want to go to college here in the US. WUWM’s Emily Files brings us the story.
