2. Explain the passage's CENTRAL ARGUMENT. What claims does the author make?

The champions of Alabama's far-reaching immigration law have said that it is intended to drive illegal immigrants from the state by making every aspect of their life difficult. But they have taken a very different tone when it comes to part of the law concerning school.

3.Find TWO ASSERTIONS that support the central argument. Explain how each assertion contributes to the author's main argument.

It is, however a first step in a larger and long-considered strategy to topple a 29-year-old Supreme court ruling that all children in the United States, regardless of thier immigration status, are guaranteed a public education. This assertion is good because this has been oging on for a long time.

Analysis Huddled Masses, Turned Away

The passage that my team read was about how much it takes to send a immigrant back to it country. This is funny to me because the US don't have money to keep teachers in our schools but they have money to send immigrants back to there country. It can cast up to $23.000 just to remove an immigrant back i think they should start spending there money on other things like education and put them teachers back in our schools so we can learn more.
