values, talents, and contributions of immigrants. People from all over the world seek the United States for just one honest reason, a better life and future. Most of the immigrant families and their children come from Mexico, Central and South America, and even Asia. These people enter the United States via one of three modes of entry, legal immigration, illegal entry, and as refugees. Because of their legal status, many immigrants are illegible to receive any type of public services such as healthcare and public education. This is something that has been going on for years, and many Americans feel that it is a fair thing to do. By actually providing illegal immigrants to have access to public services the United States could benefit a lot from it, starting with a healthier and safer environment, also, having access to public education will help the economy in the long run, and lastly, after obtaining a college degree, it is extremely possible for them to get a good paying job.

America is known for giving opportunities for those who seek them. Every year, many immigrants come to this country looking for an opportunity to better their lives. For many, it is a struggle to find these opportunities. They are being exposed to a new culture, a new language, and a new mentality. Some immigrants catch a break and go to work right away. But it is not always so easy. Many of the immigrants who come to America are young people who accompany their families on this odyssey. They are too young to work and their only option is to continue school. There is a huge barrier facing them, being and undocumented student means having almost no financial help from the government, and also having no benefits. There is also the fear of being deported while being a student. It would be devastating to enroll in school just to be deported a short time after. These issues have been mitigated for many undocumented students due to the Development Relief and Education for Alien Minors act, simply known as the DREAM Act.

Opponents to immigration say that immigrants are over crowding the public schools; therefore taking away the education those citizens’ children should be receiving. While it may not necessarily be the responsibility of the government to decide what should be done with the children of illegal immigrants, it is their responsiblitly to ensure the basic rights of Americans.

“A child without education, is like a bird without wings.”- Tibetan proverb. Since the discovery of the Americas, immigration has played a vital role in the development of the United States of America. People migrated here due to the extensive land available, resources but most of all the countless opportunities this new territory had to offer. In the present day, immigration has changed from being opportunistic to trying to find a complete new and better way of life, immigrants are risking their lives to get in and improve their way of life. For a person to succeed in life, there is a basic right which many countries unfortunately do not even offer its citizens, the right for the best education

Should illegal immigrants that have children born in the U.S be entitled to public education? Wait don't answer that yet. Let me tell you why they should. Every kid has the right to a public education no if you're an immigrant or a U.S citizen. Children of an illegal immigrant in the U.S want to have a better life than their parents and go to college. Another reason is that most people don't have the chance to a public education.

Children of illegal immigrants are allowed an education but schools will have to provide for the rise in number of students. “Nationwide, public school enrollment is projected to rise 6.3 percent to 53 million students between 2014 and 2024” (FAIR). According to Camarorta, from Center for Immigration Studies revealed, the majority of the student population are children of illegal immigrants in 700 of the country’s largest school areas (Camarota). Children of illegal immigrants are also costly to the education system. “The U.S. spends approximately $12,000 a year to educate children in public schools but with the rising number of children from illegal immigrants will future increase these costs” (Camarota). The cost of providing kindergarten to 12th grade education to the children of illegal aliens alone (including students who are themselves illegal and the U.S.-born children of illegal aliens) amounts to $438 million annually” (FAIR). A program that is necessary for children who may have parents who do not speak English and need to learn are provided a program called Limited English Proficiency (LEP). LEP helps teaches children how to speak, read, and write in English. “The cost of this supplemental English language instruction is $54 million a year, which presents a major strain on school budgets” (FAIR) Most of the children who are involved in this program are likely to be the children of undocumented immigrants instead of children of natives or legal immigrants. This is because legal immigrants often learn English before immigrating or study English in America and teach their children to speak English (FAIR). Due to the overcrowding, schools struggle to provide quality education because money will instead go towards hiring more teachers and building new schools. This is also unfair to taxpayers who are paying for their children to go to school. “Education for the children of illegal aliens

Though I have seen poverty and injustices amongst those who were born to low-income parents in the United States, I am unfamiliar with the prevalent struggles of immigrants in the U.S. Therefore, I cannot relate to

Immigrants today are well treated than those back in the mid-1800 and early 1900’s and helped shape America for what it is today. Immigrants is treated as second class citizens often time they are knowing for “stealing other people jobs”. Looking back, immigrants has been improving since and makes up half of the population. “their education levels, the diversity of their jobs, and their wages are improving, and the newest generations of immigrants are assimilating into American society as fast and broadly as the previous ones. simulating into American society as fast and broadly as the previous ones” Immigrants are getting the grasp of the American life. The newer immigrants are learning more quickly than the previous ones. Based on the results

is a place where they can start over and began to build up their own wealth. There are things like “economic factors, most notable the rising price of oil and the resulting boom in the economy of Texas, drove the demand for new workers” (Brannon & Albright pg.4) that drive the immigration of people to the U.S because they know that they will have a secure job. Additionally, for many of the families that come to the U.S. their purpose is to provide a better education to their children, so that they can have a more stable life. The U.S is able to provide a free public education for these kids and will even (depending on the state) will aid them to go on to college. Unlike Mexico, where education can become a burden to the families because they must pay enrollment fees, transportation fee, food feeds, and material fees. Therefore, for some families sending their kids to school becomes a problem so they don’t allow them to keep on going to

Illegal people come to United State for a better future for their family but more for their kid’s future. To have a better education and a better future different from their parents who maybe didn’t finish their education because they had to work to help their family in their native land. There are millions of people from different lands who have to immigrate to a better state to look for their future even if they become illegal. They do the jobs that others don’t do like work on the field or lands keeping because others don’t want to do it because they are difficult work to do. There’s more jobs that are hard to do and that illegal immigrants do them to get money. The students that come with their parents from their nation and don’t know ingles it’s hard for them to learn the new language but they do their best to learn it to be bilingual and have a better job in the future, some of them come when they are little and learn it fast but others come teenagers and is harder for them because they have learn another language when they were

Education is an important necessity in society because it helps teach children, teenagers, and adults about the world around them to learn how to work, live, and love. However, there are millions of illegal immigrants that cross our borders to find a better lifestyle for themselves. They do this for a variety of reasons, a stronger education being one of them. Every child no matter where they are from or what their situation is, should have the opportunity to grow and learn.

I am the first immigrant generation in my family, who recently moved from the Middle East, Jordan. I moved to the U.S two years ago; however, this is not my desire or will. In reality, people fight and do whatever it needs to get to the U.S, but I am not one of them, and I will never be one of them. I was forced to come here by my parents even when they knew that coming here is not my wish.

American education and employment opportunity today is more attractive and wanted in the world. Many immigrants view the United States as the land of opportunity because it presents them with life options they may not have had in their countries. America offers free education for all who can’t able to pay; meanwhile, there are lots of job opportunities too, from the minim wage up to highly paid job. Of course, language, educational and cultural factors can delay immigrants' success, even for those with professional credentials earned in their homelands, but they are more likely to make it in America when they have access to schools that do a good job of educating them because greater access to quality education helps create greater and more

The United States of America is a nation of many immigrant people. People come from all over the world, leaving their homeland and sometimes leaving their loved ones to escape deep poverty and violence. When immigrants come to America, in their dreamland they face many problems such as language, education, job, legal paperwork, housing, food, and health issues. Immigrants do all kinds of low-quality jobs. They clean houses for a living. Some immigrants come with very small businesses. Many immigrants pay taxes which helps better the U.S. economy.

One of the main reasons illegal immigrants come to America, is to seek a better life for themselves and their family. The U.S. allows people to live in freedom, and practice their own beliefs. People from other countries are very intrigued by all the opportunities the U.S. has to offer. Many pregnant women will immigrate to the U.S, so their children will have the opportunity to live a good life. The 14th Amendment, grants citizenship to anyone born in the U.S. Therefore, children born to undocumented parents in the U.S. are granted birthright citizenship. People will receive a better education living in America than most other places. Illegal immigrants can receive a college and high school education. Young people who weren’t born in the U.S may apply for DACA. DACA is a federal government program. It allows unauthorized immigrants who were brought to the U.S.
