...Government Shutdown Introduction A government shutdown in the U.S. politics is where the executive branch of the federal government intervenes when there is a funding gap. In essence, the intervention is done when the Congress decides against passing legislation that supports funding of government operations and activities. With reference to the “funding gap”, it is the time interval when the interim or full-year appropriations are not enacted into law as expected by the Congress and the President (Brass p. 2). As such, it is apparent that a government shutdown has a number of implications on the overall economy of the country and federal government employees who form an important part of U.S. economy. In addition, the government shutdown can delay important activities and government processes hence undermining economic development (Fuscaldo). Recently, the United States has been on the brink of experiencing a government shutdown hence this therefore raises the critical question of what the implications are likely to be triggered by this situation. This paper is therefore an endeavor to examine the implications of a government shutdown to the U.S. Implications of a government shutdown i. Federal Government Employees If a government shutdown is to occur based on the current situation, one of the most affected groups would be federal government employees. In this case, a shutdown is likely to take toll of employees working in federal agencies because they are...

...Introduction Immigration has grown to be an important part of every business and it has become vital that immigration laws are carefully managed to ensure they yield the biggest benefits to the host nation. As more immigrants seek immigration in the USA, UK and other developed nations, many of the nations are restricting and limiting the legal registration of immigrants (Ezell, et al., 2013). But it’s important to consider the facts behind the tightening of immigration laws since they have caused more damage than benefit to many of the affected economies. Negative Effects on the Native Born Workforce While the lack of immigration declares that immigrants cannot work in a nation, many continue to seek unofficial employment at considerably reduced wages. Many businesses and employers in the developed nations are also more than willing to hire the illegal immigrants secretly as this helps them save money and be more competitive in the market. In the government’s eye, the illegal immigrants cannot secure legal employment officially but it has been observed many are working unofficially on casual, freelance and remote basis (OECD, 2012). This is greatly affecting...

...contend that taxpayers’ money is spent in paying for border patrol and deportation. This is one of the complaints of groups against illegal immigration. They also raise that poor illegal immigrants medical expenses are paid for by the government and this money come for taxpayers as well. Unauthorized aliens who get sick or give birth on American soil have to be given medical attention even without insurance and money to cover for hospital bills at the expense of the American taxpayers. Moreover, children of illegal immigrants waiting to be deported need to be taken care and this requires money. They our hurting the revenue and economy in this country that we will get from them staying here in the United states illegally. In some cases it is necessary to deport these immigrants. They are taking jobs away from the citizens of the United states. While some immigrants are coming to achieve their goals and dreams, there is a big percentage of those immigrants living off of welfare. Welfare is where the government gives you money from the taxes that American citizens pay. Most of the immigrants are causing crimes too. So that is bring the country's crime rate percentage up. Also those billions of dollars are going to back to them to pay for programs like welfare which i mentioned earlier. That 1.4 trillion dollars will drop dramatically due to immigration...

...whether or not United States should accept these people into our country and let them gain citizenship and also if by letting them enter our country is hurting our economy. So this is a major headline in our country as to let them in or not. In today’s presidential views with the current candidates running for office many of them have very different views and some many citizens find aggregable while some of the plans seem outrageous and foolish to some. Immigration whether that’s illegal or legal and also refugees was a big problem in the US but is now currently the most talked about topic as it is affecting jobs, taxes, political stances, and the economy as a whole and is something that our country needs to fix and address in hope we resolve this issue. During the WWI immigrants and being “illegal” was a huge factor as to whether or not to keep the Jews or kick them out as what was happening while Hitler was in rule in Germany and parts of Europe. A major controversy that many other countries have during this time and even some to this day have, is what the United States policies were on immigration and also the illegal ones from Nazi Germany into our country. Beginning in around 1940 the United States made the laws and ruling on refuges into our country even harder. After we entered WWII in December 1941 immigration dried up as many of the Jews were being murdered. It was quit sad that the US didn’t take in Jews and let them stay here because it was no doubt safer than the places...

...Making Children’s Dreams Come True Immigration has been a heavily debated issue in United States politics for decades. It is a topic that policymakers weigh in on concerns of the nation’s security and its economy. Congress, which is in charge of evaluating laws is unable to effectively resolve an agreement on establishing a reform for immigration, making the decision policies transfer onto the executive branch. The executive’s responsibility to place a definitive reform on immigration will lead to dissatisfaction with the states and local governments. The notion of the immigration system has always been confounding to its own legislature that constitutes regulations on the naturalization process. In these case, children who came here illegally...

...Illegal Immigration from the South It is one of the most debated things in the United States; how should illegal immigration from Mexico be handled? Many people believe that illegal immigrants destroy the economy and that we need to take drastic measures to prevent it such as forcing people to carry federal identification cards, increasing the number of Border Patrol officers, or even building barriers on the border. I believe that we need to begin caring about and understanding why these people are leaving their homes to come into the United States. Many people believe that these immigrants are coming over and causing problems, but in reality, they aren't causing as many problems as we think. They are taking jobs, but they are jobs that pay...

...Module 2 Environmental Controversy Immigration and Population in the U.S. Taron Church Rasmussen College Author Note: This research is being submitted on November 20, 2011 for Aisling Kane G328/EVR3410 Section 01 Human uses of the Environment Course. Immigration and Population in the U.S. The two articles presented for this week’s lesson contain very different viewpoints. The first, by Seper, provides a lot of alarming factual information about how illegal immigration is negatively affecting our country, especially the state of California, and needs to be taken control of. The second article, by Hoyt, is very much the opposite; it provides almost no factual information to support his ideas about reforming immigration laws. Each article was interesting, although I have to say that the article that spoke out against illegal immigration was better written and provided a lot more relevant information, not just personal opinions and accusations. It’s hard to argue with evidence, and even the side that was pro-immigration stated that there are large costs for our country associated with it. As shown in the article Illegal aliens cost California billions, "California's addiction to 'cheap' illegal-alien labor is bankrupting the state and posing enormous burdens on the state's shrinking middle-class tax base" (Seper, 2004). Illegal aliens are costing our country roughly $10.5 billion dollars a year for health care, education, and incarceration. The education system alone...

...to International Studies 26 March 2012 Leading Views of Immigration Immigration is an old problem for the United States but is far from an insignificant one. Many Americans worry about the cultural and economic effects of immigration. This is a topic that divides Americans on how to negotiate a solution on this situation. For those who agree with deportation as a solution, approximately half of those people are in favor of a temporary work program. Debates still continue over the positive and negative effects of immigration along with a variety of solutions. The United States has a long history with immigration. Between 1881 and 1924, the First Great Migration occurred with 25.8 million persons entering the country. In response, Congress enacted the National-Origins Quota System, establishing set parameters for individual regions of the globe, such as restricting immigration from the Eastern Hemisphere to one hundred fifty thousand individuals. As a result, only half a million individuals immigrated to the United States during the 1930s. Since then, the number of legal immigrants has increased at the rate of approximately one million people per decade. The 1965 Amendments to the Immigration and National Act repealed the natural-origin restrictions, increased the number of available visas, and made family ties to United States residents a determining factor for applicants entering the country. The 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) granted amnesty to three million...

...Illegal Immigration Hurting The United States Name COM/220 June 20, 2013 Camisha Williams For centuries, the United States has welcomed immigrants from various countries and have become home to them. In the 1800s, immigrants were even essential for the building of the steam engine and railroad tracks (Schaefer, 2013). As time passed immigration has increased and laws regulating immigration have not been enforced causing over population of unskilled immigrants. While unregulated immigration has its benefits, which help organizations, like social security it does not negate the fact that they are straining resources and the economy. Poverty and Immigration The overflow of undocumented immigrants is cause for concern for many reasons. There are too many underpaid unskilled workers hired over native citizens. According to Opposing Viewpoints (2012), “wage and salary differences demonstrate how illegal and unskilled immigrants place downward pressure on wages by providing an incentive for employers to choose them over natives”. Immigrants are known to work jobs that most American’s shy away from such as agriculture work, factories, food preparation and cleaning services (Opposing Viewpoints, (2012). Employers rather hire unskilled workers because they can pay low wages, increase productivity...

...Should Undocumented immigrants should get a “path to citizenship?” Today the United States is facing an everyday issue, Immigration. Immigration is when someone else from another country comes to live in another country, Permanently. Some people are fighting to legalize the immigrants from all over the world, some are not and do not support the legalization of immigrants. There are over 11 million legal immigrants in our country. However, I think that immigrants should get a “path to citizenship” because Immigrants can help improve the economy, It can cost too much to deport, and that it keeps people and family from fearing. One important reason that Undocumented immigrants should get a citizenship is that it cost way too much to deport immigrants...

Back then, they were not called police officers they were called watchmen. Back then, every citizen was a watchmen and they did not receive pay for their duties. However, some wealthy citizens paid others to do their duty for them. People did not start getting paid to Philadelphia started paying them in 1658. Crime started rising as more towns and cities were built this went on to the 1840’s when police became more organized. In the 1840’s New Metropolitan decided that police officers should start wearing uniforms. During this time police also started a movement to patrol 24 hours a day to keep everyone safe. During the Frontier America, the absence of government leads to confusing police reforms. During this time, the U.S Marshall Service was also developed. However, they only enforced federal laws these were politically appointed positions with no pay or training. Over time, Community Oriented Policing Problem Solving (COPPS) was formed. COPPS were lead to foot patrol by officers to bring back police interaction with the community. This was set up to help develop a cooperative bond between the police and the community. The development of police styles has changed over centuries. Back in 1658 police officers were nonexistent. Every person in the community or town had the duty of protecting...
