Education for children of illegal immigrants

Should children of illegal immigrants who weren't born in the United States be eligible for state-funded college scholarships?

Greetings!

That's certainly a controversial question these days! You haven't said exactly what kind of help you are looking for, but it sounds like you need to write a research paper. If so, and you'd like some ideas, I can throw out a few:

You might want to start with a few statistics on the number of children affected by this issue. It's a little unclear from your question whether it's the children themselves or just their parents who weren't born in the United States, but assuming it's the children (as anyone born here is automatically a citizen), see if you can find some numbers that show it is an important issue. Next, you might want to talk about the limited funds available for state-funded college scholarships. Finally, find some articles, both pro and con, which give solid reasons both for and against. If you are intended to take a side, be sure you make that clear in your first paragraph, and then present the information against that side of the argument in order to show why it is wrong.

I hope this helps get you started!
