CATW Practice 1

In the article, "An Education in citizenship" by the 'Chicago Tribune', it explains how the state of Illinois has just passed a bill that's going to allow young people in the country illegally to pay in-state tuition rates at Illinois colleges and universities. The house had said that it "was an easy vote for most of the lawmakers". I agree with the house of Illinois by the following.

The state made the right decision in passing the bill because it helps the entering freshman that are illegal to get a great education for a future career. It's right that they pay a cheaper tuition pay based on their tax return. This reminds me of when my mom told me how she came to NY to get a better education. She didn't have to pay as much because she came from Ecuador and came to Laguardia community college based on her taxes and that she was an immigrant. She knew other people that were in this situation besides her sisters.

Another reason why i believe the state made the right decision is because it gives immigrants a better education even though its almost like controlling citizenship and its rights and responsibilities. My dad came from Ecuador like my mom as well and he went to college too but not Laguardia like me and my mom. It was cheap for him and after he finished he became a UPS driver, which he still is. It's a fair paid job, but it's tiring for him.

Based on the article, "An education in citizenship" by the 'Chicago Tribune',  I have explained that the house of Illinois had made the right decision in passing the bill that allows entering freshman in the college who are in the U.S. illegally to pay in-state tuition rates at Illinois colleges and universities, with my examples and evidence.
