For now, here&#8217;s a bit more about what we&#8217;re aiming to do:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Everyday, approximately 11 million individuals labeled undocumented in the United States provide the essential services that keep this country afloat.<\/p>\n<p>Through this simple process of surviving, these individuals incur myriad costs that are largely invisible to the majority of Americans. From financial expenses like out-of-pocket health care to the emotional costs of constant fear of deportation to the spiritual costs of perpetual separation from friends and family, these are costs with compounded, long term implications.<\/p>\n<p>La Cuenta begins the arduous process of accounting for these myriad costs, one expense at a time. Each week, we will explore one item added to the metaphorical bill of what undocumented American living costs. Our bill includes a sum of dollars, hours, tears, scars, goodbyes, and discarded opportunities. It is both incomplete and overwhelming.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I&#8217;m excited about pushing the boundaries of who does research, what\u00a0<em>counts<\/em> as scholarship, and toward what ends this work travels. If you are interested in contributing to\u00a0<em>La Cuenta<\/em>, get in touch.
