This paper presents the state of the knowledge of the right to higher education in migratory contexts, especially that of Mexican and Latino migrants in the United States of America. The literature review sets the scientific production on the dreamers’ movement related to the DREAM Act (2000) and the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) of 2012. The analyzed information helps to building meta categories and emerging categories and recovers theoretical-methodological findings such as political discourse analysis, the contextual narrative of struggle and resistance, the Critical Race Theory and Latcrit, collective participation for social transformation, and social movements as a sociological theory of migrant organization and empowerment. The literature review reveals scientific production as an emerging field and interest, mostly in North American researchers. It is noticeable that the research contributions impact the social, political, cultural, and legal aspects that make it possible to enforce the right to education of migrants without documents.
