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. Jamiel had never once been so much as even given a detention, and had a very promising future in football, one of his many dreams and aspirations that had been brutally terminated. The one responsible for this heinous act was 22-year-old Pedro Espinoza, an illegal alien brought over here by his …show more content…

About 40% of all homicides committed in the state of Florida and 70% of all drug deals big and small involve illegal aliens (Federal Prison Bureau). 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). Please note that illegal aliens also only make up 3.5% of the whole country, which makes these numbers even more appalling. 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. These years are the most crucial in how a child’s future is shaped, and how they look at the world. This means that they are also very vulnerable though. Exposure to this sort of beyond unruly behavior and criminal activity at this early age could lead to children growing up believing that that is fine and normal. 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…

Jeremy Smith writes about the American policy’s negative effects on immigrants, particularly unaccompanied minors to unearth why they are criticized so harshly. Rodrigo Smith was a fourth grader in Berkeley California when he was deported to Mexico long after his tourist visa expired. As a result, his classmates asked, “How is that fair?” When they worked together to create a video to bring his spirits up, they showed more empathy and comfort than an abundance of humans on our planet. Despite the emotional punch this anecdote lands with readers, it is not an effective piece of writing on its own.

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).

Many white Americans do not believe that legalization should happen to undocumented immigrants because they assume that immigrants committed a crime before entering the United States illegally. They also believe that immigrants are stealing their jobs. In the article “American Without Migrants” by DW Gibson, he mentions that “before, I speak no English, I have no license, and I find work. How do these people speak English, have a license, and they don’t have work? I don’t get that” (qtd in Gibson 24).

“Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.” By Emma Lazarus (1883). No undocumented person should be treated as a criminal. Undocumented immigrants arise in the United States due to the lack of opportunities in their homeland, and they know America is a nation where a dream can become real. Those individuals willingly perform jobs that nearly all Americans refuse to do; they are reliable people, pay taxes, and help America’s economy. Yet, should undocumented immigrants be granted a path to citizenship?

Hispanic, Hasiah, Caribbean, Canadian, African, and European, are a few of the many people that help make the American Dream possible.

Despite the multiple attempts at creating a well-rounded immigration reform the United States has failed to achieve the full capacity of the reform. The United States first failure at the reform was in 1986 when congress passed the “Immigration Reform and Control Act”.

The content of this bill is overwhelming and is divided into many sections such as control of unauthorized immigration, legalization and reform of legal immigration.

When SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Life) Institute revealed that they had detected a strange signal 94 light years away from Earth, they were hoping that this revealed the presence of extraterrestrial life. However, the signal was debunked to be no more than interference from a military satellite. Although they were hoping for an interaction, prominent physicist, Stephen Hawking, predicts that with any interaction between Earth and extraterrestrial life, “…the outcome would be much as when Christopher Columbus first landed in America, which didn't turn out very well for the American Indians.” Hawking’s prediction is based off of the fear of foreigners or foreign ideas taking over a community, which is also known as xenophobia. Today, the
