I.
II. Intro (5 sentences only)
A. “A 1994 study showed that 60% of migrant students in the United States drop out of school.” “The average migrant child may attend as many as three different schools in one year. For many children it takes roughly three years to advance one grade level.”

IV. Response to opposing position (5 sentences only)
A. In general, quality education of migrant is important to us as a nation.
B. Immigration can negatively affect natives, but barely.
III. C. I found the net effect of immigration on natives to be small but positive. The increase in immigration in the 1990s caused the 2010 native high school completion rate, which stood at 87.8%, to be 1.3 percentage points higher than it would otherwise have been. I find native-born black people to be more responsive to immigration than natives as a whole. However, as the rate of immigration slowed in regions with more black people, the overall effect is very similar (1.4 percentage points). This is comparable with the completion gap between black people and white people, which was 7.3 percentage points in 2010. I also estimate a small negative net effect for native-born Hispanic people (-1.2 percentage points), but this is not statistically significantly different from zero.

This is occurring in a school district that is located on the “wrong” (east) side of El Paso and serves a student population that is 88.1 percent Hispanic and 73.4 percent economically disadvantaged. Dual language has helped liberate its students from the grim statistical reality that half of the Hispanic students in Texas will become dropouts: Ysleta boasts a graduation rate of 84 percent, well above both the Dallas and Houston school districts. A pioneer in dual language, Del Valle in 2005 graduated the first class to begin the program in elementary school. Instead of leaving Spanish behind for all-English classes, students were taught core subjects like algebra and world history in both Spanish and English. - See more at:

The town of Yutter has a deal with the farmers and the water supply company for the town so that they can have more water than other citizens per square acre of land, in order to keep the new seeds alive before they shrivel up and the plants die. Paul Jump, Yutter’s main farmer, much to his chagrin, asked the mayor at the town meeting for water, saying “I can grow food for my pigs with the money I made off of my crops if I have two thousand more gallons a week!” The mayor ignores his request and the audience of the meeting starts to become obstreperous as they walk up to Paul Jump with screams of invective.

However, the con is that immigrants tend to compete for unskilled jobs against unskilled citizens.

In fact, a hefty proportion of foreigners entering America have high levels of education and are moving directly into the nation 's suburbs and professional classes. ``The net effect of immigration is still that it raises the GNP, ' ' says Harvard economist Richard Freeman, co-author of the NBER report.

  • Essay On Dual Language Immersion

    1669 Words  | 7 Pages

    Frank Smith, a famous author from the Cold War era, stated, “one language sets you in a corridor for life. Two languages open every door along the way” (Smith 110). Several school districts across the nation have implemented dual language immersion programs in their elementary schools. With a fast-growing immigrant rate in the United States, being multilingual has become extremely useful to many U.S. citizens. Dual language immersion programs should be implemented into every elementary school curriculum because children in these programs acquire a second language, which helps them develop useful skills, become more aware of cultures around the world, and, contrary to the opposition’s claim, it does help students learn better in school.

  • Essay On Impact Of Immigration On Economy

    I believe that it is certainly not true. According to economists who have analyzed local labor markets have mostly failed to find large effects of immigrants of employment and wages of U.S born workers (Borjas, 2006). The most accurate way to measure the impact of immigration on economy is to analyze the effects dynamically over time. Data shows that immigrants expand the U.S. economy’s productive capacity, stimulate investment, and promote specialization which in the long run boosts productivity, and there is no evidence that these effects take places at the expense of jobs for native-born workers (Perri, 2010). These studies systematically analyze how immigrants affect total output, income per worker, and employment in both the short and long run.
