SAN MARCOS, Texas  - Some Texas State Dreamers are working to renew their DACA recipient status, while simultaneously working on a degree.

President Donald Trump ended the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program earlier this month. 

Like most universities, Texas State University doesn't track DACA recipient students, so there's no way of knowing what percentage of the student body is undocumented. However, the university acknowledges that these students are here, and that they are supported.

"We don't have data about them, but we know that they exist," said university spokesperson Matt Flores. 

Flores says Texas State officials are watching closely as legislation regarding DACA recipient status is being written, and rewritten, in Washington.

"We need to know how it's going to affect the students, what we need to be able to relay to those students, so that they are prepared to deal with whatever changes in the law come," said Flores.

One of the students affected is Ayo Ogunbire, who came to the United States from Nigeria when he was nine.

He knows the naturalization process isn't easy.

"It's not something that happens in a year or two years," said Ogunbire. 

Ogungbire is happy the university supports its undocumented students by offering free legal advice right on campus.

"The process is rigorous, the process is tough and it's definitely hard on students because they're not just focusing on school, but also having to worry about like, am I going to be here in the next year or two years?" said Ogunbire. 

Flores says in the wake of President Trump's decision to end DACA, students have formed grassroots organizations to rally around their peers without papers.

"We want to be able to do what we can to help students along in the process, whatever obstacles they may encounter along the way," said Flores. 

Some student-run organizations are even helping to fund DACA renewal for undocumented students because it costs nearly $500 to renew your status.

There will be DACA renewal clinic on campus on Saturday at 9 a.m. More information can be found at SCOPE at Texas State.
