Federal and state laws govern the education system in the United States. In Arizona there are current laws that govern English Language Learners (ELLs), specifically Proposition 203, which Arizona voters approved and went into effect in 2001. Proposition 203 changed the law by removing bilingual education and putting the Structured English Immersion models into place instead, (Jost, K. (2009, December 16). Bilingual education vs. English immersion. The CQ Researcher Blog.). According to Proposition 203, the proposed changes were due to the claims that the majority of Arizonans speak English, immigrant parents want their children to learn English quickly, literacy in English is important to becoming a productive member of society, the previous

    Proposition 61 Case Study

    Proposition 61 is The Drug Price Relief Act and it deals with the regulating of drug price by requiring state agencies to pay the same price that the US Department of Veteran Affairs pays for prescriptions. Although proposition 61 entices many voters, it excludes 88% of Californians. Voting Yes on Prop 61 means state agencies will be prohibited from raising drug prices on any of the lowest prescriptions paid for by the US Department of Veteran Affairs. This will limit the price state agencies are paying for prescription drugs. Voting No on Prop 61 means that state agencies will be given the chance to negotiate the price and pay for prescriptions without having to pay the same as the US Department of Veteran Affairs.…

    Hr 1227 Research Paper

    The reason I stand for the HR 1227 bill, is because I believe that people want marijuana for all of the wrong reasons. Even though this drug is used for health purposes, there are other ways for people to access this drug for other purposes. As a matter of fact, it would actually be easier for certain kinds of people to access this drug, if this bill didn’t get passed. You also need to look at the jurisdiction standpoint. If we allow this law to pass we would potentially stop things from getting confused.…

    Senate Bill 1070 Research Paper

    Senate Bill 1070 is an Arizona Law that requires the Arizona police to check the immigration record on people they pull over. If the immigration position does not say they are from the U.S. they will be transported back to the country that they have come to America from. Many people disagree about this as it is invading people’s privacy. A lot of people that come illegally to America don't even pay the taxes they should. Also, most of the youth that come to America illegally end up most of the time joining dangerous gangs.…

    Sb 1070 Law Research Paper

    America is a melting pot of different nationalities coming together as one. Most everyone who lives in America either originates from a different country or their ancestors came to America looking for opportunity. Since America is made up of immigrants that arrived in our country years ago, it is reasonable to conclude that America would have an open door policy for everyone today. In reality, immigrants don’t arrive at Ellis Island and simply walk off the boat becoming a U.S. citizen anymore. There is a long and strict process in place created by our federal government to become a legal resident of the United States.…

    The New Bathroom Policy At English High School, By Martin Espada And Richard Rodriguez

    Discrimination against bilinguals manifests in the issue of bilingual education. I support bilingual education and access to it. Lack of access to bilingual education inhibits bilinguals’ ability to learn. I agree with Espada’s position to teach bilinguals in the language they prefer because doing so grants bilinguals a more equal access to education as English speakers. Providing bilinguals with a more equal access to education is essential in bilinguals’ battle for equality.…

    Plyler Vs Doe

    Bilingualism has long been a hot-button topic in the United States and it’s often hard to tell the difference between bilingualism and other controversial issues such as segregation, immigration and education reform. Bilingualism often involves some of the most, economically and politically, disadvantaged groups living in the United States, namely, undocumented immigrants. Since the addition of the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, legal battles have been fought and won, to ensure that all people regardless of their citizenship status, are equally protected under the law. One such case is Plyler v. Doe 1981.…

    The Influence Of Bilingual Education

    Rodriguez grew up in a Spanish speaking family thriving and eager to expand his education and vocabulary in the “loud, booming with confidence” English language. According to Rodriguez, bilingual educationists have strong disbelief in the idea that schools should be assimilated with bilingual education because the students lack “a degree of ‘individuality’” This sense of individuality is absent in public society because often your heritage sets you apart from most others around you.…

    Aria A Memoir Of A Bilingual Childhood By Richard Rodriguez Analysis

    is so far behind in advancements academically and socially. Every other country encourages and supports bilingual education. In each claim and argument Rodriguez presents there are harmful consequences that the reader takes away from them. He believes that one’s native language and the public language are unable to coincide, not based on research or statistics, merely based on his own personal experience with not being able to handle the two. The takeaway from this belief is that there should only be one language in America, the public language.…

    Warren Blumenfeld's Argument Analysis

    If I were to move to Russia, the government would require me to learn Russian, however if I were to move to Japan there’s no requirement to learn Japanese; I would be relying on other forms of communication to go about my life. This is the case in many areas around the United States and most noticeably in Miami. Declaring English as a requirement instead of a suggestion will not only improve bilingualism but also increase productivity for foreign born…
