Abstract: Work­ing in an urban safety net facil­ity, my col­leagues and I daily face any num­ber of chal­lenges. In some respects, an undoc­u­mented immi­gra­tion sta­tus is just another one of those chal­lenges. How­ever, it is a par­tic­u­larly inter­est­ing one given the con­text cre­ated by polit­i­cal, social, and eth­i­cal debate about immigration.
