Persuasive Essay About Undocumented Students

For many years, the United States has dealt with immigrants sneaking into the country. Along with them sneaking into the United States, there has also been a lot of disrespect and violence towards the undocumented immigrants. In reality, the American people don 't realize that these immigrants are in search of a better life in a country where they can live comfortably without being harassed by the corrupt government. There have also been children trying to sneak into the United States to avoid the corruption and frightening circumstances in Mexico. Undocumented immigrant students should not have limits on their education and should be treated with equality because it 's not fair to treat a student differently only because they were not born

If what she is saying is right, the United States shouldn 't accept foreign exchange students because they could be considered immigrant students as well. I understand what she means when she says, "College tuition has skyrocketed in recent years. Many Americans cannot afford college or have taken out student loans," but that 's not the immigrants students ' fault.
