The definition of immigration has grown to include a deep understanding of migration. Immigration has focused on the effects of school funding. Evidence suggests that the biggest challenge to school funding arises from the increase in the number of migrant children in school. Accordingly, as South Carolina State Superintendent of Instruction, policy must be in place for the anticipated increase in the number of immigrant children. Many South Carolina voters agree that increased immigration has a profound impact on taxpayers. For example, immigrants impose costs on state government by using more in government services than they pay in taxes (Huddle, 1997). This significantly increases taxes for taxpaying households. Due to the increase in immigrants, Huddle (1997) found that low-skilled American workers were displaced from their jobs. As a result of the displacement, taxpayers paid considerable sums in public assistance. Public assistance consisted of Medicaid, unemployment compensation, and food stamps. The evidence suggests that South Carolina voters are likely to resist increased immigration because of the huge tax increase. Like South Carolina State Superintendent of Instruction, Contreras (2002) asserts that sharing the factors that play a critical role in meeting the needs of immigrant students will be most effective in providing information to senior administrators . To help develop statewide policy, I would make the senior teaching and learning staff member responsible for ensuring that immigrant students have equal access to a good education and that that funds be provided for teachers to teach. It also involves providing a differentiated curriculum to teach immigrant students. Finance and middle of paper......immigration has increased dramatically across the United States. Schools face overcrowding, which creates a need for school funding. Evidence suggests that many non-minority voters oppose funding because immigrants benefit from school funding. Global migration is a problem we will continue to face until something can be done to solve the problem, such as stricter border laws or increased taxpayer support. Works CitedContreras, A. (2002).
