College financial aid forms cause fear among children of undocumented immigrants, according to a report.

The process of applying for college aid has become increasingly stressful for some students due to the fear of revealing their undocumented parents on financial aid forms, as President-elect Donald Trump has promised mass deportations, according to a Los Angeles Times report.

A high school student, whose father illegally immigrated to the U.S. from Guatemala 28 years ago, expressed concern that Trump's election could mean suffering as a citizen due to their parents' decision to move to America for a better life.

According to the report, the teen and her father visited college counselor Lynda McGee to help the student fill out the FAFSA form, which is used by schools to determine Pell Grants, federal loans, and other financial aid for students.

The application requires parents' Social Security numbers, which causes concern among students and counselors about potential immigration status issues if any entries are missing.

"McGee informed the LA Times that unfortunately, he has numerous students facing the same predicament. These students must make a difficult decision between securing their own future and that of their parents."

Approximately 5.1 million US citizen children reside with an undocumented family member, as per the American Immigration Council, a pro-immigration organization.

Trump stated that he is ready to declare a national emergency and utilize military assets in a mass deportation effort. Although the president emphasizes removing illegal immigrants who have committed crimes as the top priority, his administration is prepared to proceed with otherwise law-abiding immigrants following that.

College counselors and student advocacy groups are cautioning students from "mixed-status families" that there may still be risks associated with sharing Social Security data, despite guidelines from the Department of Education stating that it is only used for determining and awarding financial assistance.

The National College Attainment Network, a nonprofit student advocacy group, stated that it cannot guarantee the protection of FAFSA data for mixed-status students and families due to the priorities publicly announced by the incoming administration.

"A first-generation student whose parents are undocumented immigrants from Puebla, Mexico, expressed their stress in navigating college admissions and financial aid as they do it mostly on their own. The student told the Times that the FAFSA confusion and wait make it feel like their wings are being clipped."

The father from Guatemala still wanted his daughter to apply for aid.

According to the Times, he said that filling out the FAFSA may or may not negatively impact me, but if it can aid her, she should do it.

Trump has long advocated for ending birthright citizenship via executive order "on day one," which would almost certainly be challenged on constitutional grounds.

Last month on NBC News, Trump proposed deporting entire families of the millions of U.S. citizens living in mixed-status households.

""To avoid breaking up families, the only solution is to keep them together and send them all back," Trump stated."

The president-elect was more lenient towards "Dreamers" who entered the U.S. as minors and were protected from deportation under an Obama-era policy.

"We must address the Dreamers because they are individuals who were brought to this country as children and many of them are now middle-aged, not proficient in their native language," he stated, emphasizing, "I will collaborate with the Democrats to devise a solution."
