Illegal Immigrants Should Not Be Denied Enrollment Into Public Schools

Illegal Immigrants are people from other countries such as Mexico, Latin Countries, and some countries in Asia (India, China, Philippines, Vietnam, and Korea) (Gibson) that migrate to another country for a better life. Immigrants come to the U.S to be someone, so that they can give their families a good life, and in general they believe that

As a result, she lacked confidence in her education. She stated, “My early education did not partake of the abundant opportunities which the present day affords and which even our common schools now afford. I was never sent to any school; I was always sick.” Even though she did not attend a formal school it did not put her out of reach of a proper education (Peterson, 9).

Undocumented students have a harder time trying to pursue a higher education; this is due to the fact that they cannot receive federal aid. College is like a safe haven for these undocumented students. Higher education gives undocumented students the opportunity to better themselves as individuals. Higher education also allows undocumented students to pursue a better life for themselves and for their family. Every year over 65,000 undocumented students graduate from high school in the United States (Gray). Experts estimate that fewer than 6,500 of those undocumented students actually go on to attend college (Sheehy). One reason for why the amount is so low is because college is expensive for these undocumented students. Undocumented students are unable to achieve any of these goals, that is, unless they receive federal aid. It is sad to see undocumented students give up on their dream to attend college and get a higher education.

I strongly agree that a child of an illegal immigrant should be able to get an education because at the end of the day, they’re just normal kids who would love to receive an education. And their parents would love so much to see their child grow up to do to the career that they would want pursue, wouldn’t you want your child going to school to get a education if you were a illegal immigrant?

Education is important and should be available for everyone. Because of that, I strongly disagree that the government prohibit foreign students from attending college. One reason I maintain this position is that a lot of specialists that work in the US for example in technology are from other countries. In the article “International students in the US”, Project Atlas presents convincing data regarding the positive consequence of foreign students. For example, 20% of the college students that study engineering and graduate are foreign. Proponents of prohibiting exchange students tend to [point out that they take away resources that Americans could use. However, current data from US Study abroad actually demonstrate that a lot of US Students are in other countries to study and use their resources too. Another reason why foreign students should continue studying in the US is due the economy. In fact Huma Nisar shows in his article in “Views and News” that exchange students contribute $32 billion to the US economy in the year 15/16. This money is used and needed to improve the own education system. Equally important for those numbers are the relations that are built between countries and nations.

What is a illegal immigrant you may ask. Well an illegal immigrant is a person that illegally crossed a country's borders without proper papers and has not gone through an immigration checkpoint to authenticate their papers and baggage.

An illegal immigrant defined, by law is a person of a foreign nationality immigrating to the US without the permission of the government. Many people view people who do come to the US without that permission as an “Illegal Immigrant”. And many of those people are viewed by other as criminals, but what makes them criminals. But what if someone was forced to come to the US when they are kid does that still make them an Illegal Immigrant. Should those kids still be labeled as an illegal immigrant, even though they most likely had no choice in coming here to the US?

Maston notes that although most Negroes approve the Supreme Court decision, they were not overly enthusiastic about it. Now they would have “to accept the full responsibility that first-class citizenship” places on them. They “must measure up to higher standards than they have in the past.” No longer “could they explain away or rationalize their failures by saying that they were Negroes and did not have a chance” (p. 29). Sixty years later many Blacks either refuse to or are incapable of accepting the responsibilities of first-class citizenship. They blame their failures on Whites, racism, slavery, the Confederate flag, etc. — everything but themselves. They still use the excuse that they are Negroes and do not have a chance.

A man walks into a room; the air smells of fresh drywall and high gloss paints. The wood floors have been polished recently, but the dim light makes it hard to see how perfect the floorboards were put together. The room is close to empty, only holding within the man who entered, and a display case being shone on by several spotlights. The man smiles with pride at the recent accomplishment. It has been at least 20 years since he has been in high school, and he finally made the perfect room to hold his most prized possession. He walks to the new, bullet proof display case in the middle of the room, and peers in, keeping his hands in his pockets for the fear of the temptation to touch the flawless glass. He thinks back to how he received such a wonderful object; sweaty games of football, loss after loss, him sitting on the bench most of the time. The day he saw the trophy written with his name on the front, and the “You

What does it mean to be an illegal immigrant? An illegal immigrant is a person that migrated across national borders in such a way that violates the immigration laws of the designated country. There have been a lot of debates on whether illegal immigrants should be allowed legal citizenship in the United States. In my opinion, I believe that illegal immigrants should not be allowed legal citizenship because it violates the country’s law. Hey, the majority of immigrants come in illegally for some reason may it be opportunity or purpose. In my eyes, these illegal immigrants come to the United States and have access to government assistance programs that are available, but do not have to pay the proper taxes. These are the beginning actions that lead to an economic burden. According to Stephen, “Since the raid in May, which resulted in the arrest of nearly 400 illegal workers, additional serious allegations have emerged against the plant owned by the Brooklyn-based Rubashkin family, including inhumane working conditions, egregious violations of child-labor laws, sexual harassment of female workers and multiple workplace safety infractions.” (Steinlight) This means that not only were the law broken towards being an illegal immigrant there were other laws that were broken as well. One significant law that relates back to September 11 is the potential risk of terrorism. These illegal immigrants that have been known for breaking

Illegal immigration is a controversial topic discussed in our country everyday. An illegal immigrant is anyone who has illegally crossed some kind of border whether it is by land, water, or air. These people are undocumented, unauthorized and unnaturalized people. In America’s case, these immigrants usually come from the south where the neighboring countries such as Cuba and Mexico reside. Some also come from Canada, but it is not too common. Should illegal immigrants be allowed to live in our country? Is there something that one can do to be legally allowed in the states after being illegal? These illegal immigrants are both beneficial and harmful our country. Whether it is with the

An illegal immigrant is a foreigner who has entered or resides in a country without the countries authorization. According to the C.I.A. "the nations immigrant population reached a record of 37.9 million in 2007 and nearly one in three immigrants is an illegal alien."(Camarota) In 2000 there were reported 214 million immigrants in the world, "immigrants now make up 3.1 percent of the world population." (Gonzalez and Nowicki) Normally illegal immigrants go overlooked in big economies, usually taking jobs that the citizens will not do. However when a recession hits the illegal immigrants will be looked down on and blamed for being the cause of

The official definition of illegal is “contrary to or forbidden by law”. The definition of an Immigrant is “an individual who comes to live permanently in a foreign country”. Therefore Illegal Immigrants are foreigners who enter another country, the United States of America, without a Visa. They cross the border by avoiding inspection and overstay the allotted period of time allowed as a visitor, tourist, or businessperson. There are 12 million illegal immigrants in America today. How is the possible if it is illegal? And more importantly, why are they allowed to stay if they went against federal law? The United States claims to have safe borders, but fails to enforce law by accommodating to the needs of these illegals that make it past

According to Merriam Webster illegal means “not according to or authorized by law” (Merriam-Webster). To become an American citizen, as my parents did, an immigrant must be a legal permanent resident for five years”(Mallain). For instance, if a legal American citizen does something illegal, there would be a punishment for their actions. Illegals are getting rewarded for their wrong doing and getting rewarded for health care. The average American legal citizen works hard for their money, long hours, sleepless nights, migraines etc. This is
