Immigration And Customs Enforcement Officer And A Relative Who Experienced Staying At Different Detention Centers

Deportation can have a psychological effect amongst families with mixed status as far as who is a U.S. citizen and who is an immigrant. In a study between July 2010 and September 2012 out of the 205,000 people who were deported, reported that there was at least one U.S. citizen child resulting in 90,000 parents who were deported (Psychological Impact of Detention & Deportation 2). Statistics like these demonstrate how the system is corrupted and needs to be fixed and mended. Families are constantly getting ripped apart because of an unequal status among family members. Psychologically, the deportations can affect family members, especially children. Children of immigrant parents live in fear because their parents may get deported. This is

The return and removal of illegal immigrants from the United States is one of the most widely discussed topics. Since 2007the United States Customs and Border Protection (ICE) has returned or removed over 1.2 million illegal immigrants from the United States. ICE has expanded its Criminal Alien Program to included incarcerated criminal illegal aliens.  In 2007, ICE identified 164,296 convicted criminals who were incarcerated in Federal, state and local penitentiaries (These are people who came into the United States illegally and committed a crime.)

In most of the cases, I agree with the author. However, there is one thing that do not understand. The author mentioned Mexican immigrants, undocumented are racially profiled as well as they were stopped and search without cause. I think the law of the land does not support those who are an undocumented immigrant. Therefore, accept the legal immigrants, the enforcement could take action against the undocumented immigrants. The information provided helps me to understand that being a

There are many vulnerable populations within the United States. One of the many vulnerable populations are undocumented immigrants. Undocumented immigrants also known as illegal immigrants according to Wikipedia (2016) is defined as “the migration of people across national boarders in a way that violates the immigration laws of the destination country” (para 1). The United States of America has one of the largest population of immigrants. In this paper, I will be discussing the multiple stressors related to undocumented immigrants as well as the programs that can be used to help alleviate those stressors.

Studies show, within 3 months, 80,000 illegals were deported from just Texas and many more in five other states; 700,000 returned to Mexico voluntarily, 488,000 in two other states (Nagle). A child born in the country from foreign parents are citizens at birth and it should not be taken away from them. “Former representative Nathan Deal of Georgia had a better idea, and he introduced a bill proposing that being born in the U.S. only confers citizenship if one child’s parents is a U.S. citizen” (Nagle). When parents are deported their children don’t have a choice whether they go with their parent or stay, the government chooses it for them. Some parents don’t know they can request return upon deportation or their children could be replaced with their relatives or take them with them to their home (Valbrun). A mother sent a request to visit her child but got no response and her child was taken care by strangers and the mother did not accept this idea. Obama stated that they are focusing on deporting immigrants that have committed crimes. “It’s clearly un-American to take kids away from loving families” (Valbrun). Social workers say children are better off living with middle class Americans than their own “poor” parents who want to try to make a living in a new place. An immigrant parent’s worst fear is to be deported and abandon their child

Drawing on several sources of survey data and interview questions this project examined the different attitudes of Illegal immigrant in the United states and their opinion on immigration. The survey questions were about their opinion of immigration; as well as how they see themselves and others. I wanted them to reflect on shared and unshared beliefs and values regarding themselves and others. The interview questions were a bit more personal and asked about their individual life experiences as undocumented immigrants in the city of Houston.

Although illegal immigrants only make up less than four percent of the total population in the United States, five percent of the population in both state and federal prisons is made up of those who are not United States citizens. Between 2010 and 2014, 121 illegal immigrants who were released from immigration custody were later charged with murder (Shoichet, 2015). Figures show that immigrants are three times more likely to be convicted of murder than the general population. Each year, approximately 900,000 legal and illegal immigrants are arrested, and 700,000 of these end up being released. Illegal immigrants account for 12 percent of murder sentences, 20 percent of kidnapping sentences, and 16

There is an assessed 11 million illegal aliens that are living United States, and this population is projected to upturn by 500,000 yearly. Once a year, about 1 million people that are considered to be aliens are detained when they make the attempt to come in the United States unlawfully. Even though most of these foreigners arrive the United States for financial chances and family reunification, or they are avoiding civil trouble and political unrest, some are offenders, and some could possibly be terrorists. Every one of them is disrupting the United States' immigration laws. With that said, this paper will involve the case study of immigration enforcement and the circumstances around the issue.

Most people’s families have that immigrated to America generations ago. Thus, they do not understand the difficulties of immigrating to America. In the last 2 decades. A young twelve-year old child came to America from India along with her two siblings, mother, and father in the 1980s. They were provided safe haven in New York, a sanctuary city, until their immigration process began. A sanctuary city like New York, does exactly what they for that family by providing protection for undocumented immigrants . These cities do so by refusing to follow federal detention requests. There exists a large demographic of people who disagree with the idea of sanctuary cities in America. Since this demographic is against the idea of undocumented immigration

Basing their mission on national security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) sees to identify and apprehend criminal aliens and other removable individuals from within the United States, as well as those along the border who are attempting to enter the U.S. illegally. During 2015 ICE conducted 235,413 removals (ice.gov). Even though ICE claims to only detain and deport those who are criminals and threaten national security, ICE detains children, women, and those who have no criminal record. ICE takes part in racial profiling in order to determine who is illegal. In order for ICE to systematically support deportation they illegally enter homes, raid communities, and intimidate people and exploit individuals lack of education and resources.

Immigration has been one of the largest topics of political conversations recently due to the extreme stances taken towards it with the current presidency. President Trump’s entire campaign was based on promises to take harsh measures against illegal immigration, blaming immigrants for many of the nation’s problems. His rhetoric caused many individuals to take action against those who heavily believe in mass deportation. During his presidency, he unfortunately was able to pass policies that allow the Immigration and Customs Enforcement to be extremely strict and harsh on arresting anyone suspected of being an illegal immigrant. These policies further incite the argument concerning the power balance between federal and state governments, otherwise

Christina Littlefield reports that Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez, an undocumented immigrant, had seven felony convictions in the United States and had been deported from the country five times, yet the city of San Francisco declined to detain him for ICE officials and released him into the community. Sanctuary cities release criminals, like Lopez-Sanchez; consequently posing a threat to surrounding communities. According to Jessica Vaughan out 8,145 undocumented immigrants released from detention requests, 63% had previous criminal convictions. Sanctuary cities allow perilous immigrants among legal residents of the United States. These cities enable aliens to commit barbaric crimes, leave the country, and then come right back with no penalty. Of those previous criminal records, Vaughan reports 36.6% undocumented immigrants had felony charges and 23.4% had charges related to violence, assault, sexual abuse, weapons, or drug distribution. Rapist, drug dealers, and murderers are all threats to the community. Hostile immigrants deserve to be in jail, not harbored in Sanctuary

The mold for an undocumented family typically consists of at least one if not both parents being undocumented and children who are natural born citizens. Families with mixed legal status have many hardships to face and overcome one of the most prominent and most fear inducing of all: deportation. The risk of one of their loved ones being deported and the chance of never seeing them again in the country is one that haunts millions of not only undocumented immigrants but their children as well. In a recent study conducted on multigenerational punishment Laura Enriquez stated the following, “In particular, scholars have shown how deportation policies impinge on the economic, social, and emotional well-being of family and community members in the United States and the country of origin” (Enriquez 941). Stating that immigration laws and illegal immigration status along with the risk of deportation tear families apart is an understatement; “…deportation threatens immigrant family stability. For fiscal years 2013 and 2014 (“ICE”) removed nearly 368,000 and 441,000 persons, respectively; making the total removed over the course of Obama’s presidency approximately two million” (Enriquez 940). A current web article by Derrick Rubenstein found most opponents argue that “…mass deportation would pay for itself in about four years. Plus, of course,

Despite all international agreements or recommendations, every day in the United States the abuses against immigrants such as arbitrary detentions, no due process, expedited removal, separation of families, and inhumane working conditions are increasing under the justification of “national security”.
