From the Paper:

"Should the United States be responsible for educating the children of illegal immigrants? Should tax payers be responsible for paying taxes so these funds can go to schools that educate illegal immigrants? Certainly, these are important questions. However, consider these questions: Should children be punished for what their parents do? Will failure to educate children make them responsible adults that can contribute to society? Should colleges offer lower tuition costs? While the first two questions sound important, many people fail to consider the consequences of what might happen if children of illegal immigrants were not educated. Educating children regardless of who they may be is vital to their future. The Issues Involved in Illegal Aliens and Children Many illegal aliens live in the United States. "The Attorney General recently estimated the number of illegal aliens within the United States at between 3 and 6 million" (Sutherland)."
