From one generation to the next, America’s immigrant families have stressed to their children that education is the key to a successful life in their new country. For years that meant achieving at least a high school diploma. But in today’s global economy and competitive job market, it means access to a college degree or a formal technical education.
That access should be available in Georgia to all residents of the state ”” even those who came to this country illegally and whose parents, because of their immigration status, are forced to live and work in the shadows. To slam the door on the higher education aspirations of illegal immigrant students is to condemn them and their families to a lifetime of low wages at the hands of employers who want their work but take no responsibility for helping them better their lives.
