11 April 2017 Argumentative essay: why illegal aliens should not be given a free public education

Anita Shaw was in the middle of her second tour in Iraq as a U.S. Army sergeant on March 28, 2008, when she received a phone call that no parent should ever have to hear. Her son, Jamiel Shaw, had been gunned down after getting off at his bus stop upon completion of his school day.

Illegal aliens also commit more than 61% of all federal crimes in the U.S., and almost 75% of all federal drug related sentences in 2014 (Fox News).

It has been proven by fact after fact, stat after stat, that these aliens provide huge risks to the security of our homeland where our children sleep. But to go a step even further, where they learn and spend most of their time when they are awake. A child’s mind is still developing at the ages when they go to school.

When they are adults, this could lead to serious problems such as them joining a gang, or being involved in drug related activity. But this is not the only concern to be …show more content…

223 Words | 1 Pages

Child Immigration Argumentative Analysis

1155 Words | 5 Pages

Another argument of anti-immigration groups is that the U.S. population is growing out of control due to immigration. According to the Census Bureau, the United States is growing at less than 1% a year, and this growth is fueled by newborn babies, not immigrants (Balkin 98). Population control is a poor argument for opposing immigration. Regardless of the modest amount of new immigrants as a whole, the number of immigrant children in the child welfare system has more than doubled in the past fifteen years. According to a 2014 Citizenship and Immigration Ombudsman’s report, oftentimes child immigration cases are judged without consideration of their parents, and children are treated as functional adults who must find their own legal representation and participate in interviews that use questionable interrogation tactics (Padilla-Rodriguez).

The American Alien Argumentative Essay
