The millions of undocumented immigrants living in the U.S. include young people who are studying hard and achieving academic success — only to find the doors of opportunity closed to them when they reach college. Education professor William Perez records their plight in a series of portraits in his new book, We ARE Americans. NPR's Guy Raz interviews Perez and one of the book's success stories, lawyer Nora Preciado.
