The focus of the Silicon Valley philanthropists is Educators for Fair
Consideration, or E4FC, a nonprofit that gives scholarships, career
advice and legal services to students brought to the U.S. illegally as
children.

Companies that knowingly hire illegal immigrants can face civil and
criminal penalties. Among other ideas, the Silicon Valley donors are
studying the possibility of using unpaid internships as way for
students to come to the attention of employers who might later sponsor
them for a legal work visa.

After helping a few dozen students through college with small
donations, the San Francisco-based organization expanded with money
from the tech leaders. It now has enlisted immigration attorneys to
offer legal advice to hundreds of undocumented students.
