undocumented and asylum-seeking children from Central America went to American schools from 2017 to 2019. </span> <span data-start-time='16583' data-end-time='23854'>The research was by the Rand Corporation, a nonprofit group based in California.</span> <span data-start-time='23854' data-end-time='42188'>During that same time period, the United States saw a large increase in undocumented immigrants entering the country through the southern border, mostly from Mexico, El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras, the study says. </span> <span data-start-time='42188' data-end-time='54625'>The report estimates that 491,000 of the immigrants who remained in the United States were children, meaning just 65 percent enrolled in school.</span> <span data-start-time='54625' data-end-time='74417'>About 75 percent of the 321,000 students went to school in 10 states: California, Texas, Florida, New York, Virginia, Maryland, New Jersey, North Carolina, Georgia and Louisiana.</span> <span data-start-time='74417' data-end-time='85271'>When inside the country, U.S. federal law guarantees children an education without considering their immigration status.</span> <span data-start-time='85271' data-end-time='94792'>U.S. Education Secretary Miguel Cardona said he supports undocumented students’ right to a public education. </span> <span data-start-time='94792' data-end-time='110313'>That is a contrast from former Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, who testified to Congress that school districts should be able to decide whether to report undocumented students to immigration officials.</span> <span data-start-time='110313' data-end-time='120104'>Cardona said in an interview with Newsweek that “when there are students that are here that need to be educated, we have an obligation. </span> <span data-start-time='120104' data-end-time='125438'>Whether or not that means they have different rights, I'll leave that to others. </span> <span data-start-time='125438' data-end-time='131938'>But when it comes to education, every student should get an education when they're here.”</span> <span data-start-time='131938' data-end-time='141938'>Many states offer different levels of support to immigrants, both documented and undocumented, as well as to refugees. </span> <span data-start-time='141938' data-end-time='148250'>That can affect the quality of their education argue the Rand researchers.</span> <span data-start-time='148250' data-end-time='156292'>Some states give students more financial aid while some limit enrollment based on age. </span> <span data-start-time='156292' data-end-time='165229'>Some states give undocumented students access to lower in-state tuition to public universities, but others do not.</span> </p></div><div class='control-buttons-sticky' style='display:none;'><div class='control-buttons'><button title='Back' class='back'
