Most students that are undocumented face discrimination from teachers, along with individuals involved with the school systems feel the need to isolate immigrants from the others that are U.S citizens, or treat them a different way in view of the fact that they aren't supposed to be here legally. Each year there are more than 65,000 undocumented students that come to America graduate high school. Most of them at the top of their classes, yet cannot go to college, work, or join the military. In 1982, the Supreme Court established Plyler v. Doe, a decision stating that states cannot legally deny students the right to have a free public education based on …show more content…

So even though they aren’t in truth citizens but they have the right to attend a public school, it should still apply to them that they have the right to freedom, therefore they should have the freedom to attend any college they desire, work anywhere they desire and pursue their dreams the way they desire, without any complications with the non-documentation.

    There is a big disparity between urban and suburban secondary education in public schools. Many critics of this inequality are arguing that urban schools are not receiving the same attention as schools that are in suburban areas or wealthier parts of country. Urban schools are facing a large crisis on there hands, these schools are not meeting the required criteria in educating and graduating their students. So, why is there a huge inequality between urban and suburban secondary public schools? Much of the debate falls around school funding and how much schools are given to operate. Many urban schools are not being given enough money to educate its students, pay its teachers, buy new books, and afford technology that could be used in the classroom in order to educate its students. Though funding plays an important role in education another issue that urban schools are facing is prejudice from teacher towards minority and lower income students; students who fit description are often thought of as worthless because either they are receiving low test scores, can not speak English well, create trouble in the classroom or they are simply thought of as futile. While minorities fall under prejudice, illegal immigrant students are being attacked because they are attending public schools at the expense of tax payers. Illegal immigrants are being blamed for much of reasons that schools are finding themselves in the red when it comes to school funding; simply illegal immigrants are breaking the piggy bank and leaving schools in the hole as the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) puts it.

    In recent times, there has been a major controversy regarding the legal rights of the offspring’s of illegal immigrants in the United States of America. Not all children of the world get the opportunity to receive proper education. Many countries can afford to require education, thus many children fail to receive basic education. The United States of America uses taxpayer money to pay for the public schools that provide children education up to the twelfth grade. Since the parents of the offspring are illegal they would not pay taxes, thus they would not contribute to the school systems.

Since it wasn't their choice to come into this country they
