Trying to Get an Education

We all have to realize that not one race is better then another. It doesn’t matter if you’re born here or not if you’re actually applying your self and getting an education then you should be able to get that opportunity. Immigrants aren’t asking to come to the U.S. and get everything handed to them. The ones that are here just want an equal opportunity to work just as hard as everyone else and to prove themselves. It’s not that immigrants want to be getting paid ten dollars an hour either. All they need is a little more respect and not be treated like dirt. There are so many kids out in the world that don’t have an equal opportunity like the rest of us. How is it that we complain about not having the latest clothes but there are children out their that don’t even get food at night. Instead of being selfish people we should take into consideration how others are actually feeling; we are getting an education when there are kids that aren’t allowed to attend school. You never hear about a Cinderella story where an illegal immigrant comes to the U.S. and gets his citizenship or a green card and goes to school and then gets a high paying job. They never get treated the same as others-why because an American would rather hire an American. They hire an illegal because they wouldn’t have to pay them that much. Immigrants would be happy just to have a job that they would take it even if it means paying the minimum wage. Just a couple of years ago on March 28, 2005, Wal-mart got sewed “for having hundreds of illegal immigrants clean its stores”was said in an article named "Joke on America: Hiring Illegals". So how is it that there are Americans that complain about not having a job when they aren’t willing to take a job that will pay them $6.75 an hour. The U.S. has always thought that it has been perfect in everyway. We are willing to send thousands and thousands of troops to Iraq but we aren’t willing to cough up a couple of bucks to give to illegal immigrants to advance their education. So many kids are out in the world that does have an actual chance of changing the world but "Our entire state is losing because these kids aren't being given an opportunity to afford an education, and it's an injustice," was said in an article written by Nate Jenkins. So many people that get their education to the farthest point are forced to drop out. Take for example Amy Chen, she wasn’t able to go “through law school. She discovered that in order to qualify to take a state bar exam, she would have to undergo a background check” also said by by Nate Jenkins. Amy wasn’t able to go to school any more because she was an illegal from Taiwan. There are Americans that take education for granted; they go out and party and care some what about their education when there are immigrants that study so hard when at the end they realize that they aren’t allowed to go to school. How is it that we have the right to take away the right to get an education to others that want to learn. As a capitalist country we don’t really care if others advance unless we do. We need the latest car to drive down the street. We want the high end job that doesn’t require to much work but will pay us allot of money. At the end we make ourselves look bad because in reality immigrants are the one’s that actually work. No one has the right to deny someone of an education-illegal or not. At the end we still see that one race is better then another because we are ignorant.
