All these cases of instability directly affect minors who need basic needs in life. A massive minor immigration into the U.S. by thousands of Central American minors in the recent years has shot up. This is primarily focused on seeking refuge and overall fight for these minors’ rights and freedoms. Democracy per se lacks in most of Central American nations states. The immigration “crisis” in the U.S. is due to favourable immigration policies that were adopted by the government (Washington 111). In the United States, human dignity is aptly upheld. Both the minor and adult immigrants are equally represented in the constitution. An...

...it is a signatory to the UN Human Rights and Refugee Conventions. Furthermore, Australia has a moral obligation based on its membership of the world community. “Australia is one of the 146 signatory countries to the United Nations 1951 Convention and or/ 1967 Protocol relating to the status of refugees”. (Asylum Seeker Resource Centre, 2009) According to Australian Human Rights Commission an asylum seeker is someone who has fled their country and applies to the government of another country for protection as a refugee, (Australian Human Rights Commision, 2012) whereas a person is a refugee the moment he or she fulfils the criteria of the convention. As part of signatory countries to the United Nations 1951 Convention they are “obliged to act according to their efforts to allow everyone to seek and enjoy in other countries asylum from persecution. This right may not be invoked in the case persecutions genuinely arising from non- political crimes or acts of contrary to the purposes and Principles on the United Nations”. (United Nations, 2011) This means that Australia has committed to respect the rights of refugees and to uphold the obligations set out in the treaty. This is in contradiction to the Migration Act 1958, which states, “Australian law requires that asylum seekers who have not been successful in their claims for refugee status and have no lawful basis for remaining in Australia be removed from the country as soon as practicable”.

...A Baptist policy on immigration and asylum seekers The world currently faces a global refugee crisis with up to 40 million displaced people (the majority of whom are women and children). Australia currently accepts around 13,750 refugees each year as part of total planned annual immigration of around 182,000 people. This paper identifies social and political problems relating to asylum seekers and refugees. It examines the biblical teaching on a responsible Christian approach to asylum seekers and refugees, and discusses some of the ways in which Australian Baptists have responded to the challenges of immigration and asylum seekers. It concludes with a new policy proposal for the consideration of Australian Baptist Ministries, the various State and Territory Baptist Unions, and local churches. There is also a guide to further information. The situation facing Australia today Immigration policy is one of the two most bitterly contested issues in Australian politics, and has been for more than ten years. People who seek asylum by boat, and various policy instruments designed to deter both asylum seekers and people smugglers, have been at the heart of an increasingly contentious public and political discussion in Australia for more than a decade. The debate has polarised large sections of the Australian community and prevented many politicians from engaging in a constructive policy dialogue. With little to differentiate their product, especially on economic and employment...

...field of human services has to change with it. In order to see the impact of how and what services will be delivered now and in the future, both economic and political events and how they are related to human service trends will be observed as well as demographic trends that will influence the future needs in the delivery of human services. Economic Events “As human services changes, there may be both negative and positive reactions. It is possible that services will become more streamlined yet less available, and the cost containment will save money but become an overriding factor in limiting treatment and other services.” (Woodside & McClam, 2011, p. 91). Job loss and unemployment, can affect a client’s ability to provide basic care for themselves or their family. The client’s self-esteem, self-confidence and overall mental health can be affected causing a “domino effect” of other problems and difficulties causing the client to slip permanently into poverty, even as economic conditions improve, and seek out social services to relieve some of their financial hardship. Food assistance programs, low rental housing and job training are a few of the services that can be provided by the human service professional to ease some these financial burdens. As baby boomers age, the number of seniors will increase causing economic changes in the population. Poor physical and mental health, housing, employment and environmental adjustments are a few of the needs that human service...

...Comparative Industrial Relations and Human Resource Management A Comparative Analysis of Employment Law and Labour Market Trends in Sweden and Canada 1.0 Introduction Employment law and labour market data form the basis for policy, procedure, and organizational structure. Federal and provincial legislatures create such policies and their influence trickle down to have a dramatic impact on human resource management. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the most relevant Canadian and Swedish employment standards legislation and labour market data and in so doing, compare and contrast legislation in order to objectively examine the two countries. Canada and Sweden can be compared and contrasted in significant ways. Specifically, a review of labour law and labour market trends, including labour force demographics, minimum wage standards, parental leave, vacation time and hours of work is worthy of consideration as to determine the implication on human resource management. 2.0 Sweden and Canada Labour Program Expenditure Defined It is important to first establish background information of each country.

...investigation into the current trend of Japanese immigration. Introduction The wave of globalization has been associated with an increase in cross-border relocations for goods, capital and human resources. The movement of people however in the post-world war attracted the attention of most of the industrialized nations of the west. Terrorist attacks of September 2011 initiated the review of immigration laws. Studies show that most of the industrialized states which tend to receive the highest number of immigrants are currently in the process of revising their demographic structures. They are characterized by an aging and shrinking population with consequences being evident in their work force. UNPD report of 2000 regarding replacement migration in the industrialized nations shows vividly the replacement is important to maintain the level of employed to that of the unemployed (Coleman, 2000). Japan being amongst fastest industrialized nations of the world is reported to experience high number of immigrants from the western countries. If demographic factors such as fertility and retirement age are not revised, the country will need a high labor immigration to maintain its workforce. Its political leaders are however reluctant in embracing measures to open doors for such immigrants. The country still continues to bar the entry of foreigners in the country through comprehensive screening, work permits and visa regulations. Although immigration seems economically needed in the country...

...Jennifer Gherasim 11 February 2015 Lopez 1 Illegal Immigration Facing the Border Carlos Galindo races across the street to embrace the son he lost for 3 years; it is touching until a speeding truck heads straight for Carlos. The reality of the situation: this metaphorical truck represents deportation and Carlos is just one of the many individuals who is mowed down by the consequences of illegal immigration. What is illegal immigration? It is dictated by the “migration of people across national borders in a way that violates the immigration laws of the destination country1”. Often, the primary reasons for immigration include hopes for a better living condition, income, and, specifically for the U.S., desire to chase the American Dream. Some illegal aliens tend to come from backgrounds of poverty and believe that, by moving to a richer country, they themselves will become prosperous. The issue with this is not their reasons for immigration but rather the method of immigration and what perils they bring to the country or themselves. The surplus of issues that arise from unlawfully entering a country are often displayed in the media. The first issue involves them coming in undocumented which branches off into two separate problems: inability to get assistance for themselves for fear of deportation and utilizing taxpayer's resources that they have not contributed to (one can be blunt and claim it as thievery). On another note, many illegal aliens may put themselves in harms way;...

Unfortunately, the government does not have enough funds or shelters to accommodate these copious amounts of migrant children. The party of Central American governments is collectively agreeing that they can understand why people would want to migrate to America for economic reasons and personal safety; however, their citizens are unaware of the strict immigration laws in the U.S. and often find themselves being deported. The Central American governments are trying to improve the economy and solve cultural disputes in Central...

...Title Influence of the social media on illegal immigration into the U.S. from Latin America Name of student: Christina okanyuri Name of course: History Institutional affiliation: Submission date: America is informally termed as a "nation of immigrants" because of the widely open-door policy based on accepting foreigners chasing the vision of the so called American Dream. Legal and illegal immigration is a situation that not only exists in the U.S., but all over the world. Illegal immigration is defined as the relocation of individuals into a state in infringement of the immigration sovereignty and laws of a particular nation (Garni, 2010). Illegal immigration also involves entering a foreign country legally but refusing to depart after one’s visa expiry. It involves trespassing international political boundaries through land, air, and water unlawfully. Most illegal immigrants in the U.S. enter the country using two popular ways. First, through the U.S Mexico border and the other is by over staying their visas. A large percentage of illegal immigrants in the U.S are from Mexico, Canada, Africa and Europe. The impact of immigration is mostly felt in states where great numbers of immigrants have resided. Examples of these states include California and New Jersey. This has become a key concern to the U.S. government and its citizens. The genesis of illegal immigration dates back to the late 19th century. In 1875, a national law was approved which barred entry of prostitutes...
