...Research Paper Notes Many immigrants flock to prosperous nations such as the United States in search of a better life. Millions of immigrants come to the U.S. without following the proper immigration laws. The immigrants either immigrate illegally by crossing the borders or they enter legally but overstay their visas. Because of illegal immigration and the amount of unauthorized immigrants in the U.S. we are in desperate need of Immigration Reform, not to deport them but to make them citizens. To become a citizen they must pay a fine and learn how to speak English. The following are some of the ideas of Immigration Reform: Border Protection: Increase border protection by adding more border agents, fencing, vehicle barriers, and...

...Immigration Between Reforms and Reinforcement We need them out. No, you can’t say that. It is the same debit is going on for many years in the united states. Mexicans have the biggest share of these debates, obviously because Mexico is the country on the borders that suffers economically, politicly and in many other aspects that will make the united states the haven for Mexicans, even though if they will have to stay in the united states illegally. I tried to find my answers to the issue by looking into articles that talk with numbers and facts more than feelings, but it was not an easy job because most if these articles will try to predict the future, and they are suggesting soli-tons no one before tried yet, they were only successful...

It is a major topic in many political debates, and one cannot read a newspaper or watch the evening news without eventually coming across a story about it. With all of the commotion surrounding illegal immigration, it is no surprise that many American citizens are concerned about how much it will affect their lives. The exact impact of illegal immigration is impossible to measure due to the fact that the majority of illegal immigrants are undocumented. However, it is clear that it has both negative and positive impacts on the American workforce. Whether or not one past outweighs the other is a personal opinion, but the only way to make an informed decision is to know the facts from both sides of the argument. This research report will discuss both the negative and positive impacts that illegal immigration has on the American economy, but will begin by giving a brief background on illegal immigration.

...Module 1 Assignment 3: Risky Decision Presented to Dr. John Muehl Argosy University Methods & Analysis of Qualitative Research | B7783 BLB March 3 , 2014 Pratik Shah Each year millions of people cross the U.S. borders illegally in search of the American dream — a land of freedom and opportunity that can provide them and their families with a quality of life they cannot enjoy in their home countries. Throughout the 2000s, Americans became increasingly concerned with illegal immigration, citing the rising cost of illegal immigrants and the strain they place on public services such as the education, legal, and emergency medical systems in the U.S. With some 11 to 12 million illegal immigrants currently residing in the U.S. and working in jobs that most Americans will not do, illegal immigrants feel they are a crucial part of the economic prosperity enjoyed by U.S. citizens.With many varying opinions about illegal immigrants, people on all sides of the issue are calling for immigration reform. Everyday citizens, business leaders, and immigrants, legal and illegal, are making their views known to lawmakers in an attempt to spur immigration reform that will fairly address the problem of illegal immigration and provide a solution that is beneficial to all people residing and working in the U.S today. Immigration Reform is obviously a big issue in America today. I mean everywhere you go; you either see something about or read about it. There is no exact number as to how...

...regulated and, to a certain extent, restricted for economic, security and cultural reasons. I argue that Immigration Reform is not needed in the United States because it will have detrimental effects on the economic stability, innovation, and reputation of the country. Reform, refers to the changing, improvement or restructuring of something. In the United States, Immigration Reform is used by both those who support and those who oppose immigration. U.S. Immigration Reform is most often characterized as a set of policies that address the problem of 12 to 20 million undocumented workers in the United States (usaimmigration-reform.org, 2011). There have been several failed attempts to implement an Immigration Reform policy throughout U.S. history. Economic Opportunity and Immigration Reform Act of 2007 was the last failed attempt by congress. Immigration Reform has five primary focuses, increasing border security, creating new worksite enforcements, implementing Guest Worker Programs, revamping the current immigration system, and employing The Naturalization Process. In attempts to keep illegal immigrants from getting hired, fewer documents will be accepted when determining worker eligibility (usaimmigration-reform.org, 2011). When comparing the benefits of a society with immigrants, and the costs of having them in them in the country, it is clear that Immigration Reform is not needed. Both legal and illegal...

...The need for reform of the immigration system in the United States Introduction The lack of results from the Obama administration on the overall reform of the immigration system of the United States is due to the inability of the immigration system to regulate increasing legal admissions and growth of irregular immigration of a regional provenance. The political viability of the reform depends on the consent of the elected Republican opposition. This has contributes to organize structural blockage for reform for over fifteen years, evidencing the high degree of polarization of the immigration topic issue in American society. Given the circumstances, the likelihood of a reform in the next years is very uncertain. This paper aims to explain the lack of results from the Obama administration on the reform of the immigration system. It will analyze first, the main motivation for reform of the immigration system: it has become unable to properly regulate a rapidly growing immigration. It will then offer, a series of explanatory reasons for failure: the low priority given to the immigration issue, errors, but especially the structurally cleaving nature of the reform. Why is the reform of the immigration system a necessity? The Characteristics of the US Immigration System To understand the need for reform of the US immigration system, it is necessary to go back to first principles ensuring its operation. The United States regulates the admission of foreigners on their territory...

... SOC/315 Media Reaction The illegal immigration is the act of violating American immigration policies and laws by entering or remaining in the country without receiving authorization from the federal government. We have seen that immigration is a big issue here in the United States was as before it wasn’t an issue. The origin of illegal immigration was in the late nineteenth century. ❖ 1875 the federal law passed that no convicts and prostitutes are to enter the United States. ❖ 1882 President Chester Arthur allowed almost no Chinese immigrants in the United States. ❖ 1892 Ellis Island in New York was a federal immigration station that ended in 1954 in processing over 12 million legal immigrants that was to prove their identities. ❖ 1921 Congress passed a Quota law that only 357,000 immigrants a year are to enter the United States. By 1929 it was reduced to 157,000. ❖ In 2007 Edward Kennedy held a firm hold on the immigration reform that his supported while others tried to delay by hammering out more of the details on the bill. Edward Kennedy was one of the architects of the Immigration and Nationality Act in 1965. He was the United States Senators of Massachusetts and served almost 47 years and was known as one of his major players on the immigration reform. And what the immigration reform does is that it supports or not supports the primary numbers of immigrants are in the United States...

...English161 The competition between immigrants and natives for low-wage jobs Among all nations, immigration is always a hot topic especially in the Untied States because the country is highly mixed with people from different nationalities. Immigration contains two kinds of immigrants, legal and illegal. Undocumented immigrants that come to the U.S. under the low are illegal immigrants. Their presence come into notice by people who naturally born in the U.S. Some people say that illegal immigration is a great stimulation that can improve the economy in many ways. For example, immigrants quickly fill the low-wage jobs which employers need, and spending the money back to the economy by purchasing products to live off. Others say that illegal immigration reduces wages for native-born Americans since the immigrants are taking over the low-wage jobs and willing to work even for lower wage. I say that even though illegal immigration has some undeniably positive economic effects, the impact on the working poor is negative. Even the illegal immigration generally helps economic growth, it hurts native working poor who live in poverty in the U.S. indeed. These days, more and more people try to come to the U.S. illegally to try to get better opportunities for jobs or make a better living. They quickly fill in low-income jobs, and work hard with lower wages than native-born Americans. It makes employers hard to reject them because the intense competition in the U.S. economy; they need...

...“Aging Europe and the looming pension crisis.” 1. Why have governments tended to avoid the problem of pension reform? Why is it harder to avoid the problem in the 21st century? How the demographic changes have created problems for pensions? Governments are worried about the sustainability of current pension schemes as changes in demographics are indicating that these schemes will not be able to sustain themselves in a few years time. Fertility rates heavily increased in the post World War II period (1960 a representative year) and decreased subsequently, creating the “baby boom”, which has been an important factor in the 21st century population aging. Current fertility rates are experiencing historic lows; at an European Union (EU ) average 1.58 live births per woman, it is significantly below the level needed to replace the population (2.1) . Such changes have significantly increased the average percentage of EU population aged 65 and over, from 9.6% in 1960 to 16% in 2010, which is expected to increase to 22.6% by 2030 . This statistic shows that increasingly more people will have to be supported by government pensions. In the EU the average life expectancy at birth has risen by 10 years over the last 50 years , which means that pension schemes have to support each member increasingly longer than before. The average old age dependency ratio (OADR) in the EU, which measures the amount of elderly people for every 100 people of working age, has increased from 15% in 1960...

As nurses, the beliefs we have developed may be related to the stereotypes that we have formed around issues like sexuality, abortion, alcohol, marriage, ageing and disability, health care policy and other people’s rights (Federico, 2009). As healthcare workers our duty is to provide services that meet or target group and help them feel empowered without being judgmental thus avoiding imposing our values and beliefs on other people (Federico, 2009).

Americans continue to be much more positive and believe in the importance of their own personal healthcare situations as compared to healthcare situation nationally. This...

...Illegal Immigration and California COM 220 Illegal Immigration and California Everyone has an opinion on the immigration crisis gripping the nation. From border security restructuring to a complete overhaul of the system, anyone in this country has an idea to handle the ordeal. In preparing for this paper, this author spoke to family and friends for their opinions. One relative suggested the United States ratify Mexico as the 51st State, leaving the seated president in power as governor, turning each state into a county with the respective governors retitled as mayors. The working theory holds that the United States could then intervene and lend aid to the more impoverished areas of the newly formed state. Resulting from this, illegal Mexican immigration becomes a nonissue, Mexican citizens see improved living conditions within a few short years, and the United States gains a large tax-paying citizenship. Admittedly, without benefit of research or a visit to the country, this family member’s theory consists of stereotype and over-generalization. Even so, it illustrates the point. With unemployment rates soaring, and the economy in a tailspin, many blame illegal immigration for current turmoil, and many theories abound. California If considered as an independent nation, California would rank among the world’s 10 largest economies (Hutchinson Encyclopedia, California, 2009). From rural to metropolis; from dry desert to lush forest to sand beaches; from unemployed...

...Colton Dahlem Professor Jordan English 110/1522 December 5, 2012 Rough Draft Legal is the New Illegal What do you think of when you read ‘Immigration’? My thought of the definition of immigration is that people of other countries wanting a better life for themselves and/or their family and they think they can find that certain life in the United States. All they have to do is fill out paper work and pay fees that they can later pay off because they will have jobs because they became a US citizen. Some immigrants do not quite understand that concept and that is where we get the problem of illegal immigration. It is great that they want better lives but when they do it illegally is where they literally cross the line. Illegal immigration comes with certain causes, problems, and solutions. It is not easy to determine that causes of illegal immigration but according to the article “Illegal Immigration”, there are two main factors that make immigrants have the desire to join the United States. The first major factor is the “push” factor, which involves the pressures encouraging emigration in countries of origin. There are also four sub-factors that give those immigrants the actual push. The first is the professional factor that deals with jobs, money, and certain opportunities that the United States offer that their home does not. Second is the political factor, which is their opinion on our government vs. their government. The security factor is the third, which involves...

...Argumentative Research Paper DO ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS HELP OR HURT THE ECONOMY There are several people who exist in this country, who are legally unwelcomed, but they find a way to maneuver themselves into the economy. These people are known as illegal immigrants. They do not follow the established legal migration procedures of this country and resides in this country without proper visas or other documents (Illegal Immigrants). Illegal immigrants are sometimes referred to as illegal aliens or undocumented workers. Though many people may dismiss illegal immigrants as a strain on the economy because they take American jobs, increase the U.S crime rates and drain health care resources; illegal immigrants contribute to the economy as workers, taxpayers, and consumers. The first invasion of illegal immigrants, into the United States was during World War II. Countless, Americans left the Country and went overseas to fight for the freedom of our nation. Several Mexicans saw this as an opportunity and illegally entered the United States to take advantage of employment opportunities, especially as agricultural laborers. “Most of those who worked in the farm fields of California during the 1930’s were illegal immigrants known as Okies, a term applied collectively to the hundreds of thousands of migrants who poured out of not only Oklahoma but also Texas, Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas, and Colorado. By the end of World War II, there were close to two million illegal immigrants living in California...
