What is the editorial's central claim?
The author’s central claim is that refugee children should get the services they need to build a happy, productive life in America. The author believes that refugee children has survived a lot in there lives, so the trauma will cloud their future.
2. What is a significant piece of evidence used to support the argument?
The significant piece of evidence used is the story of the life of Richard Lobor and his family. It demonstrates that Lobor excelled as a student and athlete in Maine, but was still very troubled by his past. He eventually began violating laws by committing armed robberies and got sent to the Maine State Prison.This evidence proves that even though Lobor originally created great life for himself in America, the traumatic experiences were too great and took control of him.
3. What is your opinion of the claim? Add your voice.
I agree with the claim made. Refugee families come here for a better life, but it won’t be too much of a better life if they don’t receive the care they need to prevent drug abuse and violence. Helping them will ultimately drug abuse and violence in Maine and create a better and more successful community. Also, the racism could decrease because society will be aware of their past and finally understand why immigrants are generally associated with drug and alcohol abuse.
