Related to confirmation bias in 21st century literacies, immigrant students that apply for DACA are majority from a Latinx background however there is few research done on Middle Eastern students. News sources or search engines such as Google and Fox News can affect the way a person correlates race and DACA status. A few thousand students come from the Middle East and apply for DACA status in order to live progressive lives in the United States. However, the United States stigma of Muslim nations and stereotypes of terrorism has impacted the support for these students.  Rather than focusing on how to help and best assist these students, the society focuses on the past terrorist attacks that DO NOT identify a whole section of the world. Tying it back into confirmation bias once again, society ignores the information that casts doubt on Middle Eastern groups not being terrorist or Muslim extremist. Therefore, these students who left these war ridden countries are looking for opportunities and sanctuary in the United States not discrimination.
