Question

Over the eight weeks of the course, you will work on a paper that addresses a current controversial issue. This paper is to be in the form of an argument. You will select a topic, choose an issue related to that topic, thoroughly research both sides of the issue, and then write a paper that supports one side or the other of the issue. Your paper must define the issue, present evidence on both sides of the issue, and then argue that one side is stronger and more persuasive than the other. Your paper must address at least three relevant aspects of the issue. More specific directions for each part of the paper will be found within the specific assignment in the weekly modules. This week, you will choose one of the following topics for your project: Immigration For the assignment this week, address the following: State the topic chosen from the list or topic approved by instructor. State the specific issue you will explore. This must be stated either as a question ("Should prostitution be legalized?") or a whether-or-not statement ("Whether prostitution should be legalized"). For the stated issue, state three (3) aspects of the issue that you think you will likely develop in your paper. Briefly state why you have chosen each aspect. You are not confined to three aspects only, but you must develop at least three. As you develop your paper, you may find other aspects that you deem more relevant, and may add or substitute those. Example: For the topic of prostitution, you might examine the aspect of personal autonomy, public health aspects, and law enforcement aspects, at a minimum. Example: For the topic of free healthcare for undocumented persons, you might address economic aspects, ethical aspects, and public health aspects, at a minimum.

Answer 1

Topic: Is it the duty of a Government to provide free health care to the undocumented immigrants.  

Every government is bound to show humanity to the people whether they are legalized citizen or not. In such cases the Government must perform the duties prescribed by the United Nation Organization and International Human Rights Commission. Normally the undocumented citizens whether they are children or women are not enrolled in the free national health care system. For the illegal immigrants there are definite rules to be followed. With diplomatic ways the government takes steps and send them back to their native land. But before sending it is the moral and ethical duty of the authority to provide health care to the citizens who are undocumented citizens. If the authority remains indifferent and takes no steps, then the treatment would be considered as inhuman.

On the other hand, providing healthcare to the undocumented citizens costs a lot from the national treasury. Naturally the authority may decline to provide such duty.

But the government can not deny this. There should be a special fund and the government may limit the healthcare in the primary level. If the government provides such treatment, the dignity of the country in the international level will be increased. The citizens of this country will get good response in the other countries. It develops the international relationship.
