Aliens : An Alien Who Arrives At The Nation 's Borders

Mandatory detention is the practice of compulsorily detaining or imprisoning people seeking political asylum. Whilst Australia is not the only country to detain unauthorized arrivals in certain circumstances, it is the only country where there is mandatory immigration detention for all unlawful non-citizens. This imposition of mandatory detention for asylum seekers arriving in Australia without visas is a violation of basic human rights principles. As a signatory to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and countless treaties from the UN, our nation is in compliance with these principles, and whilst Australia continues to impose mandatory detention on Asylum Seekers we are violating the terms of these treaties.

ANALYSIS: Court looked into the Fifth Amendment, which states, “no person will be held to answer for capital.” In additional, the court brought upon the case that detainees

Asylum seekers who are held in mandatory and indefinite detention for prolonged periods of time

In Joseph Carens’ article, “Aliens and Citizens: The Case for Open Borders,” he insists on open borders. He claims that this idea of free movement has moral roots in which every human being deserves freedom and equality. In his article, Carens applies his argument by refuting three political theories of Robert Nozick, John Rawls and utilitarians. Carens addresses Robert Nozick’s theory by recognizing a common objection towards immigration. Similar to John Locke, Robert Nozick believes that humans in the state of nature have natural rights including the right to property as individuals. However, most people view property rights as collective or national as seen by popular opinion that “It’s our country. We can let in or keep out whomever we want” (Carens 252). As a

Sadly, that's the harsh reality for many asylum seekers, seeking refuge in Australia as they are arbitrarily detained. Good morning or afternoon. It has been a profound honour to be invited to address you about the eloquently breach of basic human rights asylum seeker face while being detained in our shores. Mandatory detention should be abolished as it causes indiscriminate health risk. Instead, the Australia government should allow asylum seekers to settle into the community. We should be viewing asylum seekers as a humanitarian issue instead of a political one.

The United States has long wrestled with questions over immigration policy, with heavy partisan rancor characterizing the nature of illegal immigration as a political issue. As a humanitarian, economical and sociological issue, illegal immigration is not only a pressing issue but one that can invoke highly charged and emotional reaction from both sides. This was amply demonstrated this past week when President Obama announced that the Department of Homeland Security would be granting 'deferred action' status to a category of illegal immigrants falling into a qualifying set of demographic conditions. According to Julia Preston & John H. Cushman Jr.'s 2012 New York Times article entitled "Obama to Permit Young Migrants to Remain in U.S," the President used his executive authority to limit the number of deportations committed upon illegal immigrants by easing the status of the youngest of these.

With the exponential increases in government expenditure on immigration enforcement since 2001, private industry accurately views immigration detention as a growth industry, and corporations have therefore devoted their resources to lobbying for those policies and programs that will increase their opportunities to do business with the federal government (DWN.org). Speculations that private prison corporations are more concerned with generating profit rather than the safety and security of detainees have emerged. Human rights violations have become more apparent through raids, deportations, and detentions against immigrants have been rampant with rationalization made in the name of homeland security since 9/11. The potential profitability of ownership and operation of detention centers are not the only means for generating profits, private industries operating within federal, state, and local facilities stand to generate substantial profit from subsidiary industries as well. Under the guise of protection of the general public and homeland security, these private prison systems create an image of being the solution to the “immigration problem,” when in reality most are only concerned

In these detention centers, immigrants are often denied medical care, even if they are very ill, and served poor quality food and drinks. They are treated like criminals, yet have not been charged with criminal offenses (Werner). Since 2003, ninety people have died in immigration custody. Many immigrants in the detention centers are also often neglected lawyers. Oftentimes, people are waiting six months for a twenty-minute asylum interview (Hendricks). As a result of rights not being withheld, immigrants are getting unfair treatment.

6. Pretrial detainees are "walking legal contradictions" because “According to the U.S. Constitution, they are innocent until proven guilty. At the same time, by being incarcerated while awaiting trial, they are denied a number of personal freedoms and are subjected to the poor conditions of manu jails” (Gaines

In the fiscal year of 2014, U.S Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) stated that they conducted approximately 315,943 removals of individuals (ICE, 2014). This number includes undocumented immigrants, permanent residents, children, asylum seekers, and victims of human trafficking. The United States holds on average 380,000 to 442,000 persons in immigrant detention facilities per year (CIVIC, 2015). Immigrant Detention Centers hold individuals with migrant status who are in waiting of their removal proceeding decision made by the Department of Justice. Detention facilities ideally should model a civil system yet the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and ICE have transformed

The conditions within the immigrant detention facilities are absolutely horrendous. According to ThinkProgress.org, as of 2016, nine of the 10 largest detention centers in the country are run by private prison companies. In the T. Don Hutto Residential Center, a detention facility that was once a medium security prison was sued by American Civil Liberties Union for the “prison-like” conditions they put children and families in. “Children were required to wear prison jumpsuits, held in small cells, and limited to an hour of outdoor playtime per day.” 29 year old, Zelaya was forced to manage her sickle cell anemia without treatment, developed serious stomach problems, and fell into a deep depression while at this detention center. This is only one story amongst several others across the U.S.

This paper will attempt to validate the abusive nature within ICE’s Immigration Detention Centers. Specifically, the abuse that women and children suffer by high risk detainees and ICE agents within the detention centers. Additionally, this paper will also challenge the infrastructure along the southwest border, specifically on overcrowded and antiquated detention centers. Furthermore, how the financial impact to detain, process and release or deportation of undocumented immigrants has become a burden on U.S. tax payers. Lastly, how the lack of concern for human rights has become a crisis at the U.S. and Mexican border.

A few detainees require specialized curriculum that isn't accessible in a few penitentiaries or correctional facilites. Since the individual carried out the wrongdoing they don't merit exclusive lodging. Congestion conditions can prompt expanding brutality. Due to a lot of detainees and a substantially littler measure of gatekeepers they have a feeling that they are losing control of the jail. In packed penitentiaries the possibility or strikes, suicides and mental issue.

Zero-tolerance immigration policy was announced on May and since then immigration cases filed up rapidly. On one day alone, 170 cases and 120 the following day are handled by public defender involving illegal immigration. Many undocumented immigrants’ parents are forced separately from their children while waiting for the persecution at the detention center. Alth500 children and counting are unconnectedly away from their parents and who knows where they are living and who they are living with for almost a month now. Homeland security expressed no remorse and sympathy for weeping parents, and the Justice Department's Southern District of Texas representative are not allowed to comment to any parents who have been separated from their children

According to Howitt, A. M., & Leonard, H. B. (2009), many disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, forest fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, severe transportation accidents, and terrorist attacks typically occur with relatively little or no advance notice in places and at times that are at best only roughly predicted (p. 443). The U.S./Mexico UAC crisis however, was a result of a U.S. policy which was difficult to foresee or determine. Considering that there are many sanctuary cities in America, and apprehending a foreigner in the act of a crime is extremely complex in the American justice system. According to the rule of law, petty crimes and misdemeanors are routinely processed, classified and dealt with ease. However, murder and more heinous crimes are treated completely different in our judicial legal system. If you are an American citizen, you could expect to be in a trial, which will affect the rest of your life. But if you are an illegal foreigner (alien) and committed a criminal act, many don’t understand that international laws come into the decision making process. Protection internationally, is a global right for anybody. When any illegal alien is
