| dc.description.abstract | This paper will dispel myths about immigration, which become the reasons for the driving opposition against providing social services to immigrants. In addition, this paper will take a legal and human rights approach. It will first develop a moral argument that has some legal precedence in another area (in this case in education in the Plyler v. Doe, 457 U.S. 202 Supreme Court case of 1982). It will show that one day this legal argument could gain legal standing pertinent to basic health care. Finally, it will examine anti-immigration policies and provide a prescription for how our nation should handle this health care concern. [From introductory section] | en_US |
