Illegal Immigrants

There is almost about an average of sixty five thousand undocumented students in the United States that do not have that option to get in-state tuition or go to college due to their legal status. Illegal immigrants should be allowed to go to college and get In-state tuition for the following reasons, the students shouldn’t be denied college education with or without legal status, the united states is a country of opportunities, and the students who are hard working and stand a high academic standard should be granted that wish to go to college.

Students should not be denied college education with or without legal status

Illegal immigrants do not qualify for in-state tuition or financial aid due to their legal status. Therefore, this is the main reason why immigrants have not been able to stay in college. Since out-of-state tuition is about three times as higher as in-state, many young immigrants forgo higher education(Green). It does not matter if the student has amazingly high grades, it affects them completely because they cant pay for college. In-state tuition should be offered to anyone who shows their abilities to max and it should not matter their legal status. It is ignorant to say that only citizens of the united states can only qualify for in-state tuition. Even though these kids show all to their ability to get high grades and be the top of their class even be athletes and be the best candidate for the united …show more content…

The dream act is for undocumented students who are honor students and are amazing candidates to the community. Most of these students push them self's from their abilities because they want to pursuit the American dream by getting a career and having a life of many opportunities. These students are perfect but, all they are missing is a legal status. Illegal immigrants can make a difference having to do with a better future by granting a superior economic growth and enthusiasm for being a part of the so called, "Country of opportunities". It will make a grand impact in our economy if we let these undocumented students be a part of this great country. A students named Jacqueline who is a native from Mexico and has lived in North Carolina since she was nine years old has said that if one day they throw her out of the United States, she will become a teacher and teach English so students wont be bullied or think they are not capable of doing what citizens of the United States can do(us

Since the students couldn’t read or speak English proficiently, the Supreme Court ruled the SFUSD had in fact denied them their right to equal educational opportunities that were afforded to them under Section 601 of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Section 601 was the sole basis for the Supreme Court ruling in favor of the students of the SFUSD. Section 601 states individuals may not be discriminated against based on race, color, or national origin in any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance. The Department of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW) clarified Section 601 of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. HEW issued guidelines for school districts to give students of a certain race, color, or national origin an opportunity to achieve the same education

Others may say that, they believe Daca recipient should not be allowed to pay In-state-tuition. According to Undocumented Students & In-State Tuition, “states have limited resources and in-state tuition rates and admission to public colleges and universities are coveted benefits that states cannot afford to extend to non-members.” This quote has proven that Daca recipient are still considered as non-members of the United States no matter what the Daca program offers. Another main reason why others want Daca recipient to pay out-of-state decision is simply based on the respect for the law. Based on the Undocumented Students & In-State Tuition, “extending in-state tuition rates, or admission, to undocumented students rewards or encourages unlawful activity.”

After a number of attempts, the federal Dream Act legislation has still not passed. Despite the difficulty the federal government has had on passing the DREAM Act, several states have taken it on their own initiative to create their own version of the DREAM Act. “Currently, at least seventeen states have laws allowing students who meet specific requirements, regardless of their immigration status, to pay in-state tuition rates at public postsecondary institutions” (Table). Supporters believe the federal DREAM Act will impose significant benefits to both the United States and immigrant populations and will continue to push to get the legislation passed.

Now, that it is 2017, The United States of America does not deny education to anyone. Including those who are undocumented such as myself. I can’t compare to those life threating dangers that they face but to this day I still fear deportation. I was brought to The United States when I was two-years old and since then I have not been back to my home country. I grew up here, I learned the culture, the language, and I was also blessed to be able to get an education here.

Because of their little interactions with other social, ethical, and economical groups, they deny themselves to the ability to learn from people of success. As a result, it becomes more difficult for these students to adapt to the world as much as students would if they come from a more privileged school systems. The increase in bilingual programs in schools would also allow the stigma of being a potential Latino immigrant to be alleviated. By assimilating into our culture, immigrant culture will become more accepted throughout America. However, it would be a disrespect to the student

Just because of her immigrant status, she can’t get financial aid or the in state tuition rate. Because of this, her father works 18-hour days as a dishwasher and her mother works cleaning houses. This is unfair because without the huge amount of money, she wouldn’t get education she needs. If she was able to get the instate tuition rate or financial help, her parents wouldn’t have to work so hard for her to get a good education. However, because of their immigrant status,

Some critics feel that it is not beneficial. They believe that the DREAM Act will encourage illegal immigration. There are millions of undocumented immigrants in the United States, and many of these people are qualified for the DREAM Act.

This requirement significantly hindered immigrants’ ability to access higher education. After all, the cost of out-of-state tuition is considerably more than the cost of tuition for California residents. For example, this years’ tuition for California residents at UC Davis is $13,952 whereas the price for out-of-state tuition is $38,660 (Budget and Institutional Analysis, 2015). Since the majority of Latino individuals without legal status come from low-income backgrounds (Diaz-Strong et al., 2011), the cost to attend college appears to have been prohibitively expensive for them before AB 540 was enacted. Clearly, undocumented students were blocked from accessing the one institution which could give them the opportunity to gain social

Yet, we the people of the United States failed to realize another component in order to form a perfect union. Which is to establish and promote equal opportunities for a quality education for all.
