Argument Analysis (Source 2)

  •  This article explains how over the years there have been many attempts to remove illegal immigrant children from the public school system. It also talks about how these laws like others are trying to make immigrants life more difficult than before.
  • This passage's central argumetn is that these laws will affect the schools by lowering race diversity.The author claims that this will devistate many more families than there have already been affected.
  • "It is, however, a first step in a larger and long-considered strategy to topple a 29-years-old Supreme Court ruling that all children in the United States, regardless of their immigration status, are guarenteed a public education"
This assertion helps his claim because it states that this didn't just recently begin. It has been over two decades almost three that these same laws are trying to destroy these laws that protect immigrant education. He also points out that this is an inalieanble right.
  • "They say that the law instills such fear in immigrant families with schoolchildren, leading predictably to such erratic attendance figures, that it belies any claim that the state is seriously attempting an accurate measurement."
This assertion also helps his claim because it states that families are terified by these laws that they are willing to not provide an education for their children to make sure their status is not known.
