Immigration : Immigration And Immigration

Since the 1970’s, the distinction between criminal law and immigration law has become increasingly blurred. In many jurisdictions around the world, undocumented immigration was long considered a civil offence in which violation resulted in fines and deportation. Now, however, illegal crossings are often treated as criminal violations carrying overly punitive consequences such as incarceration in harsh detention centers. The ever-evolving assortment of laws and enforcement measures concerning immigration, as well as negative rhetoric in politics and media, has resulted in migrants being ascribed the stigma of ‘criminal’, ‘alien’ or ‘terrorist’. This paper will explore the criminalization of immigration phenomenon broadly by detailing the

Immigration has been a major topic since the beginning of the United States of America. This phenomenon is what helped the establishment of this country; and even today it continues to have an impact in in most aspects of the lives of North American’s. The subject has also brought much criticism and created divided opinions about its immediate and long term impact. Migration itself it’s not a problem, but the modern dilemma of who is allowed to migrate and reside permanently in a country “legally.” It is interesting to explore this subject under three basic theories that Sociology deals with: symbolic interactionism, conflict theory and social functionalism. Each theory brings us closer to understand some of the reasons why “illegal immigration” is controversial today. The purpose of this paper is not to persuade but to explore and expose some ideas on a recurrent social issue.

When immigration policy is discussed, typically, it is discussed within the confines of egalitarian notions and sentiments, and inside the boundaries and parameters set by generally Marxist-influenced social democracy. Characteristically, it is not discussed pertaining to the concept of a social order built on the rights of property owners, sharers, and contributors to and of the common stock- which at their discretion- may exclude bad apples, lazy contributors, rotten characters, trespassers, and terrorists. Once egalitarian sentiments and notions are rejected full-scale- (only giving credence to those that have empirical weight or logical consistency) more proper, more substantive interdisciplinary analyses may reveal that the current investigative techniques employed by current mainstream political theorists are- in the context of reality, incorrect, superficial and quite shallow.

Increasing the security of the borders in The United States became top priority following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. In 2002, 22 federal agencies were united to form The Department of Homeland Security to oversee the security of the country within and outside its borders.

Republicans and Democrats have been fighting over the issue of immigration since the 1900s. Immigration has been an issue declared by both Democrats and Republicans alike over debates, elections and even the presidency. Each political party has different viewpoints of immigration and how it effects society and the U.S. as a whole. Immigration is the great division between two opinions. These two sides are: one being people that are accepting with immigrants coming in and out of the U.S., while the others say there shouldn’t be any immigrants coming to the U.S. Both parties have different stances on these issues, however, neither are as reliable as the facts.

I decided to talk about Immigration the President of the United States Barrack Obama have signed an Immigration Accountability Executive Action plan on November 20, 2014 there are about 11 million undocumented individuals living the United States under Obama executive action plan can protect 5 million undocumented immigrants the Obama Administration well deport anyone that is a national security threat for example gang members, violent crimes, and anyone suspect of terrorism. Many people opposed the president executive action the Obama Administration was optimistic getting a bipartisan bill passed through the Senate which the bill included adding 20,000 more Border Patrol agents and create a path to citizenship for the undocumented that are

My current event is on the issue of Immigration and Refugees that is going on in our society. Immigrants have been the back bone of what made America great. This country is supposed to be the land of opportunity. For the people that come here that is all that they hear. Wanting a fresh start from whatever country they came from. The NASW (2015) said that “Immigration has increased rapidly in the 1990s, with more than 13 million people moved to the United States” (p.176). Immigrants and Refugees is an issue that has been talked about for many years. “In 1965 the Immigration and Nationality Act Amendments provided a sweeping change in immigration law. The national origins system was abolished and a new set of priorities for admitting immigrants was adopted” (NASW, 2015, p. 176). So Immigration has been a part of our culture, American society, and policy making for a long time now. It is talked about today even with during our Presidential campaign for 2016.

Immigration is one hot topic in today’s conversation and society. Many think that immigrants coming to America are taking many jobs away from who need them. Some also think that there are jobs being taken away are not ones that Americans would not perform due to the horrible working conditions, low pay, and lack of important medical coverage. The immigration issue has come to a point where the United States must make a decision to spend a lot of money to curtail the amount of immigrants coming here.

Immigration policy has played an important role on the federal level; however, it has gained momentum in terms of the direct involvement from state and local governments. Over time, state and local governments have become increasingly involved in creating and enforcing immigration policy in response to the federal government’s inability to address this specific issue. The consequences of these policies have generated controversy regarding the ethical, economic, and legal implications of these aggressive immigration policies along with an increase in copycat legislation by other states. Although the federal government has not been able to fully address this issue, it is still an important matter that would be better handled by the federal government in a universal approach as opposed to individual state and local actions. Therefore, this paper will be examining the ways and implications in which state and local governments have attempted to address immigration policy through actions of their own and how that has only reinforced the argument that this specific issue would be better handled in the federal level.

they needed to leave immediately or there would be some serious consequences, but many people give these illegal immigrants no reconciliation to what they have done and say that they should not have constitutional rights because they did not enter the country in the right way, but they already have a lot of constitutional rights already.

Thank you for your input. However, I disagree with you first statement. By allowing immigrants and refugees into the United States, this is not going to put a huge threat on our nation’s population. There are currently 326 million (roughly) people living in America. With this in mind, an extra one million is not going to tip the scale so drastically that this would become a “risk”. In addition to this, the people living in America have migrated from across the globe. You argue that our American ideology and culture may be threatened by immigrants, but in what way particularly? The only true natives are American Indians, but even their culture has not been fully assimilated or accepted in United States today. Because people come from different

Immigration is one word with many different meanings. I learned those meanings when I migrated to the United States. It taught me that it was an end in India, but also a new beginning in the U.S.A. I knew that moving to the U.S. would bring a huge change, but I did not know I would have to struggle so much to adapt to those changes. Everything was different when I arrived in the United States. There were many new things I had to adapt including the language. Language was a huge change for me and I had to adapt that change; there was no other choice.

A major part of political platforms in the 2016 race is immigration and how we will deal with it. And it is seemingly unanimous that they are trying to decrease the amount of travel into the United states because it leads to major issues, but does it really? It’s acting as a catalyst in creating a more diverse economy, helping the growth and advancement of diplomatic ties with other countries, and it is the basis for which this country is founded on - immigrate, settle, colonize, grow. The issue that we should be fighting against is the illegal immigration into the US. The undocumented persons -- not the document travelers -- are where issues like manual labor jobs being given at a lower wage, the idea that terrorist acts can be committed, and the increase in crime arise, but even so these statements are frequently false and grotesquely exaggerated. The issue of immigration and illegal immigration being spoken on within the same context is giving the a large majority of the population the idea that they are one and the same- both being seen as one criminal group. The United States needs a complete overhaul of their illegal immigration prevention and legal immigration system, but the opposition is attempting to close the borders completely. To both those who are coming in with and without permission, and they are gaining followers because they are using facts that are not facts at all and are purely procured from opinion.

A family in poverty, seeking to escape their country, travel north to earn United States citizenships in order to achieve refuge. By the time they commute to the border, he realizes he must wait for his family to be allowed legal entrance into the United States. Soon enough, a professional-looking woman approaches the man, offering costly visas, but for a relatively small price. Sparking the family with relief and hope, their dream might actually come true. Over time, the family successfully settled in America, prepared to apply themselves for work. Within three months, the man receives a call from an immigration control agency, only to be notified that there is a problem with their visas. Only days later, the entire family is sent and deported

Immigration is a current and contemporary issue if only because of the vast numbers of people if affects. 191 million people migrate worldwide each year, and this number is growing as the ways of travelling worldwide become more advanced and more accessible over time. It is a most topical issue, especially in areas such as politics, media and education. Psychology offers an important view on this topic as research in this area helps with the development of policies and with raising awareness of this small but growing area of the population.
