Should Illegal Immigrants Have Acceptance To Education

Improved Essays
Children of illegal immigrants should have acceptance to attend public school. Why should we deny a child from receiving an education? Everyone deserves at least a chance to enroll in public school, they could go to school to get educated so they can eventually get jobs. In the Plyler v. Doe case of 1982 the court said, “Education has a fundamental role in maintaining the fabric of our society”, when a Texas school tried to deny an immigrant child their right to an education. An uneducated child has little to no chance to thrive and succeed in life. Public schools cannot treat any student differently by law.

    because what’s the difference between a child who was born in the U.S and whom parents are legal, versus a child who is born in the United States but whose parents are immigrants. There is absolutely no difference because the own amendment states that once you are born in the U.S, you are automatically a citizen and no one could take that away. In my point of view, I don’t see any difference because they are both citizens and it doesn’t matter if your parents are legal immigrants or illegal immigrants, because the child is already a citizen. Therefore, any child born in the United States is automatically a legal citizen and deserves every right just like any other citizen. I don’t think they should deny citizenship from those who have illegal immigrant parents, because most of the United States is filled out with people from other…

Doe in which the Supreme Court ruled that undocumented students would be guaranteed a K-12 education by federal law, there is nothing protecting them after they graduate in many states. As there are about 11.2 million total undocumented immigrants in America as a whole, it is important…
