In, "An Education in Citizenship", distrubuted in Chicago Tribune, the author explains how citizens are illegally paying in-state tuition, that of those who are born outside of the United States. The author argues how citizens can pay for in-state, while the law states that it is for those who are born outside of the United States that are able to pay in-state tuition. I agree with the statement that, "The notion that someone can have no legal right to a country, but be entitiled to a very expensive and valuable benefit of citizenship is absurd on its face."
Paying for college isn't easy. Especially for being in a community college, it is not easy to pay college bills. Even if one has financial aid, one would have to pay in return. If you have not known, paying for college outside the state costs double for when paying in-state.To pay double for a college out of the state and born here would be unfair. It's part of the law, but for other people to pay less, and born outside of the country is not right. I am friends with many people who are in the povery line. A close friend of mine, Naiyima, had to use Pell Grants. Pell Grants is when the college pays for your tuition, due to the low income tax. The reason why she had to pay Pell Grants is because she cannot afford paying tuition, even though she is going to a cheap CUNY Community College. A huge population of citizens are in the poverty line. As a matter a fact, the number of minorities in the United States is a very huge number.
Some people cannot afford paying tuition, and yet, would do everything in their power to go to college, improve their eductaion, and improve their skills. In this generation, life is becoming more difficult everyday. At the same time, prices rise everyday. For the wealthy I would understand, but what about the working class? The working class works for hours, trying to pay bills. . Especially for me, I am a working class person. I find it very hard to pay bills. I do not work in a job which pays me maximum wage. I wish I could get a job like that, but I clearly know that in reality, it is impossible. Paying out-state tuition when you are a citizen of U.S. is illegal, but compare moving to a different state, from moving to a different country. The rules and laws would be different, same thing as another country.
I do approve that illegal students paying out-state tuition is wrong. I find it as another way to pay off tuition, easier, because every state has different laws, same for countries. So why can't the law of paying out-state tuition be changed?
i read both your practice essays. You should mention the authors name. Your main point isn't really clear to me. the illegal immigrants are the ones paying instate tuition fees not the citizens. the word povery is spelled wrong in paragraph 2 line 6 its spelled poverty. your body paragraph needs to be more connected to the main point.
