blog:9 an education in citizenship

The article "an education in citizenship" is about an argument, that the Illinois State decide to charge the non-citzen immigrants lees for tuition than they charge the legal citizen. The author thinks that the legal citizen have more rights than the illegals have, but in this case, they have more benefits, it's unfair. Although both legal and illegal people pay their taxes, they have different chargement for higher education,so the author think the bill shouldn't be passed.

In my opinion, i disagree with the author, because i think it's just trying to help the people who want to take a higher education, but they can't afford. I have a friend who needs to pay his tition by a high rates as a international students.

He's a close friend of mine, so i know how much he need to pay and compare my tuitions, his always need to pay as twice as i need to pay, even he takes less classes than me. Ath the begining, his parents prepared enough money for him so he didn't need worry about the tuition. One day his parents told him that their family's business was not as good as before, the might not surpport him till he graduate. He tired to borrow money form the bank, but the bank told him they wouldn't do it, because he was not the U.S. citizen. Finally, he went back to China and gave up his enducation here.

What i want to express in my story is that the non-citzen people needs more help in some situation. They feel more helpless when they get in truble. Related to the article, we shouldn't compare the right between legal and illegal people. Actually, the illegal immigrants have less and less right than the citizen. In this case, the sentors just want to help the people who are in the lowest class of our society. It's not that too much.
