“…UC and undocumented youth are typically characterized as vulnerable populations dependent upon family members for development and guidance (United Nations 1997). However, research over the past decade suggests that undocumented youth assume various roles left vacant by their parents or guardians and have the capacity to act as active social agents who participate in economic and social contributions to their communities; activities typically reserved for adults (Suarez Navaz, 2006;Valdez-Gardea, 2007). Because UC are unaccompanied, this underage population must learn to survive and navigate various bureaucratic spaces while in the U.S. federal custody.…”

Migrant and refugee studies have received much attention grounded in Agamben’s state of exception and homo sacer theory. Much scholarship draws from Agamben’s work and the relationship between the sovereign state and biopolitical subjects in a permanent state of exception. Absent from Agamben’s homo sacer theoretical argument is a discussion on the political influence of undocumented youth. Now more than ever, unaccompanied children have an innocuous ability to transform and influence bidirectional immigration policy. The present research contributes to the literature by repositioning unaccompanied children away from the presupposition of bare life and the state of exception to an active role in the political sphere. This analysis maintains that in the United States, undocumented youth act as nonstate geopolitical actors who influence federal policy and are not necessarily in a complete state of exception or homo sacer an area not fully considered by Agamben.
