“Our county is spending too much on immigrants!” “Immigrants are dumb!” “Why should we be responsible for educating immigrants?!” “Immigrants are lazy!” “They should stay uneducated!” These are the types of things you may hear when it comes to the issue of illegal immigration or immigration in general. Through this paper we will explore some of these issues, keeping in mind immigrants are just as human as you and I, and everyone else.
Are there clear costs that immigrants are costing us?
Should immigrants be banned from education?
Are we criminalizing immigrants?
If we don’t educate immigrants will they cost us more money later?
Should we punish immigrant children for their parents’ decisions?
Do immigrants really want to learn?
Do immigrants want to assimilate into Americans?
How can we educate immigrants effectively?
What’s the purpose of education?
These questions help to guide this paper and shape it in a way that is educational and personal. I try to speak to you, the reader, in order to get you to figure out where you stand on some important issues associated with immigration. I want to give you a view into immigration that you may have never experienced before. I want to give a voice to a side of the immigration debate that often goes unheard. I want to challenge you to consider new thoughts and ideas.
