Budgetary Reform Process

Illegal immigrants in the United States (US) have long been a topic of debate for policymakers and the public. The rationale about them is that they do not pay taxes; they add to the costs of taxpayers and use up funds in resources meant for assisting citizens and legal immigrants (the legal citizens). Therefore, they are perceived as a threat to the US economy. The true impacts of illegal immigrants on the US economy are discussed by debating over the economic benefits as well as economic costs of these immigrants. The negative impacts, discussed first, presented the decreases in low skilled jobs’ wage rates for legal immigrants and citizens instigated by illegal immigrants, the social services such as educations and healthcare that they

This article provides the audience with an adequately clear and convincing stance to explain what public policy is, and other academic literacy related to public policy, which included some famous theories. The main theme of this article is that public policy is intricate and no scholar can analyze any policies with one particular theory or model. In addition, the author argues that the public policy is multidimensional and it influences every citizen’s life profoundly.

The laws of immigration have changed throughout the years in positive and negative ways affecting not only immigrants but also economical aspects. Immigration has come a long way, before immigrants had no benefits but now as we can see, “Since the passage of the Social Security Act in 1935, legal immigrants have been able to receive benefits from federal insurance and public assistance programs” (Primus). In this quote the author is showing the reader how immigration has changed and how immigrants have better benefits now that these laws have been passed. This first law to help benefit the immigrants was made in the year nine-teen thirty-five.This quote is conveys the benefits that immigrants obtained because of the law that was passed. This wasn’t the only law passed to help benefit immigrants. We can see in the publication,

“Today's foreign immigrants account for approximately one-third of America's annual population growth, not only because of their large and increasing numbers, but also because of America's low birth rate (16 per 1000) and low fertility rate (1.8)” (Carlson). The current population of the U.S. is 212 million people, if one-third of them will leave, then a country’s economy will crash. The impact of the anti-immigrant laws have is completely negative, because if immigrants will go back home or will move to another country, the state loses workers and consumers who earn and spend money and pay taxes in the state. These taxes are the part of the country’s budget, which is distributed of the benefits for all residents of the country. The absence of immigrants will impact and loss in many different occupations and industries, from construction and landscape to finance and IT. Though some U.S.-born workers could fill some of those jobs, large gaps in several sectors would remain and cause a decline in the economy. The generations of immigrants have helped lay the railroads and build American cities, pioneer new industries and fuel our Information Age, from Google to the iPhone and society cannot just lose these people or not let potential ones of them enter into the country. The consequences of an anti-immigration law will cause to the recession of the

Immigration has been an essential but disruptive aspect of the people and the political state of the United States; however, debates related to immigration and its benefits are intensified significantly. Opposing immigration keeps ranting on how government should exercise better law to control over the people entering into the States from the foreign land. One of the most buzzed argument is that American citizen is unemployed because immigrants stole their jobs and disrupted the economy (Hoban, 2017). Also, an appeal to National security and vulnerability after several terrorist attacks all over the world and also to the government to keep track and maintain the no. of immigrants to create a safer environment (Cafaro, 2009). However, the contrary to these arguments have often been proven right. The pattern of the immigration shows that the contribution of the immigrants has resulted in an economic boost that cannot be overlooked by the government.

The first article is entitled “The Economics of U.S. Immigration Policy.” This article was written by Pia M. Orrenius, the Assistant Vice President and Senior Economist in the research department at the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, and Madeline Zavodny, a professor of economics at Agnes Scott College. This article explains that the public has become concerned with the issue of immigration because of the fiscal impacts of immigrants on our labor markets. Orrenius and Zavodny relate a plethora of facts about the economics of

These effects include: wages return to the original level, the capital return falls, and the immigration surplus dissipates. This can be referred to as the long-run impact of immigration because the money answers with lag when there is unanticipated immigration. However, even if the immigrants arrive in the United States without capital, investment and domestic savings will rise due to the higher return on capital. When the capital-labor ratio returns to normal, the immigration surplus and adverse wage effect disappear. Predictions based on the assumption that the labor supply is elastic, whereby an immigrant or a native increase the amount of work they provide to the market. If some natives leave the labor force due to immigration, there would be not the wage effect, but also the employment impact of immigration (Blau and Mackie

Immigration-related discussions could always cause vehement debates and arouse ambivalent feelings among both policy makers and the general public. On the one hand, we appreciate that immigrants contribute to cultural diversity, social vibrancy and economic prosperity; on the other hand, we sometimes could not resist to express our concerns and complaints about how immigrants constantly drive competition in job markets, put strain on public resources, and pose threats to social peace. Although classical economic model predicts with the expansion of labor force caused by increasing immigrants, wages or per capita income will fall and living standards will deteriorate, there might be a subgroup of immigrants who could, in contrast,

The world is becoming an increasingly interconnected place and this trend is continuing. As a result, countries are facing new problems that are requiring policy changes in many highly contentious fields. Of major concern are the immigration and citizenship policies of many western nations that are receiving a majority of the immigrants. This is a highly salient issue because people are concerned about the effect immigrant populations will have on voting trends and the jobs that they could take from citizens. Rarely discussed, though of vital importance, is the immense impact that immigrants have on the economy, as they take low paying jobs that the average citizen would scoff at. If these immigrants are willing to take such low paying

According to Impact of Immigration on UK Economy, net migration shows a steady increase from 1991 to 2014, which caused the increases on aggregate demand and GDP in Britain. Since most of immigrants aged above 18, they usually involved in labor market and caused rise on labor force. From the chart of UK GDP v.si GDP per head, the GDP increased rapidly from 2005 to 2015. Even though there was a depression during 2008, the overall GDP trend was still increased. Immigrants tend to have higher education level. However, from government’s official data, immigrants tend to pay more taxes and receive less welfare benefit from government in this situration. From the data, immigrants received 45% less than native citizens which shows an equal treatment between immigrants and native citizens. Assume that immigrants pay some amount of tax with Native Britains, the 45% of welfare benefit plays an important role on government finance(Bennett, 2013). Bennett’s report demostrated that immigrants paied more taxes than the benefit they received from government, and positively influenced Britain’s economy and GDP. If more and more people are immigrants, and that the government will get more financial resources, which will help the UK economy. Another factor, which linked to economy, is consumption accounts. In the society, consumption accounts is the biggest piece of the overall economic development. Furthermore, it is inevitable that consumption is always accompanied by tax, more spending will bring more tax revenue. For the immigrants, they came to UK and brought more consumption, and paid more tax. These following actions can improve the domestic economy (Markaki,

While both policy monitoring and policy evaluation present different benefits to criminal justice policy, policy monitoring presents the greatest value to

Historically, incrementalism has characterized public budgeting because at its core, budgeting has evolved: increased and decreased through gradual stages within the realm of the political arena. The need for this one step at a time type of response, found within incremental budgeting, would have likely been caused by the known fact that prior to the 1900’s public welfare programs, federal, states, and even city spending did not exist in the way in which is more than obviously observable in today’s society simply because America did not employ an actual budgetary system. Therefore, as with any unchartered territory, it was approached in stages, with caution, a little at a time in response to the growing needs of the public. Aaron Wildavsky made this case in his book “The politics of the budgetary process,” when he pointed out “budgeting is incremental, not comprehensive. The beginning of wisdom about an agency budget is that it is almost never actively reviewed as a whole every year in the sense of reconsidering the value of all existing programs as compared to all alternatives. Instead, it is based on last year’s budget with special attention given to a narrow range of increases or decreases.” (Wildavsky 1964, p. 15)

Simply defining policy is a plan of action, is a little too simplistic, the idea of policy must be explored at a greater depth if policy analysis is to have any real impact. Stephen Bell, (1993) states that policy exists in a number of formats. This first being “policy as text”, policies are the result of a great deal of debate and compromises that
