Title: Arguing for the Rights of Undocumented Minors, to attend public primary and secondary schools.
“Education is they key to unlock the golden door of freedom.” - George Washington Carver
We may all can concede education is a key aspect to a brighter future, not allowing undocumented minors the right to attend public schools is excluding these minors by not giving them the benefit of the doubt to brighten their future. Many high-achieving young undocumented immigrants face challenges in pursuing higher education, according to Sonali Kohli college campuses are “undocufriendly” labeling and discriminating against these minors because of the lack of funds and financial aid. Not granting access to education to these minors and acknowledging their talents because of their legal status is unreasonable. In fact, Robert Teranishi, education professor at UCLA conducted a study showing “ undocumented students surveyed had better GPAs than U.S. undergraduates as a whole.” Teranishi, added, it makes sense that undocumented students have higher GPAs than American Undergraduates as whole because they often need scholarships or financial aid to attend college, and the bar for securing that fundings is very high.
Certainly, securing the funds are extremely high as well as the factors of finding colleges that are “docufriendly” is one the main issues. More than half, of respondents approximately 61 % indicates “that their household income was less than $30,000.” Many argue that the main issue undocumented students are dealing with is not giving the right to education has more to do than just their legal and financial status. …show more content…
About half of the students, according to the survey expressed “they’ve received mistreated by other students because of legal status, and many also said they experienced negate or unfair treatment from college representatives.” To recapitulate these students should be given full acknowledgement and recognition for their diligence and hard-work. Passing judgement on the lack of funds they have and not acknowledging their constant effort and determination is awful. The lack of having no emotional or academic support of their constant effort and determination is inequitable. Although I may criticize Teranishi claim on the self reported GPAs of the undocumented students is a bit questionable on how exactly are we suppose to know the self reported data is reliable , or if the GPA is accurate. I must say these students are talented individuals who are just trying to make the best out of an education to have a positive affect on society and on their own future as stated previously these students are pursuing careers that most american undergraduates aren’t we need this in our society. On the other hand, DACA (Deferrend Action of Childhood Arrivals) is a law that allows students to pursue an education with protection from deportation we can agree and disagree that the self-reported data isn’t very reliable, but we must all agree that they have the right as any human being to pursue an education. If these undocumented individuals aren’t causing any sort of harm to society why not allow them to pursue their dreams. However, Genevieve wood makes a point worth listening to stating that the U.S. spends approximately $12,000 per year to educate each child in public school and the cost of illegal children will increase the numbers, because they must hire bilingual teachers and more resources have
