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.

Huddled Masses, Turned Away

• Summary:

This article explains that deportations are reaching historic levels. This also shows how corrupt and damaged this system has become. The author incorporates personal experiences that show that this is becoming a crisis that is turning our society into a divided one.

• Central Argument:

The article revolves around the fact that our immigration system has become more and more corrupt. The author is stating the obvious by saying that our views of immigrants have not really changed from years ago. Although before we would appreciate them coming to this country.

• Assertion:

  “Though it has assured Congress that it concentrates on those who pose a danger to public safety, the agency often deports immigrants guilty only of technical violation of the immigration laws”

• This assertion strengthens the claim made by Morgenthau because it validates his claim that today immigration policies are being administered in the wrong way.

 “Our restrictive immigration laws are bad enough­---separating families, sending refugees like Haitians back to devastated countries, denying jobs to foreign students---but how they are administered is even worse”

• This assertion strengthens the claim made by Morgenthau because it supports his argument that these policies are ludicrous, sometimes even leading to the denying of civil rights to immigrants being imprisoned in detention facilities.
