...U.S. Immigration Policies and Reform | Econ 2020 Term Paper | December 4, 2013 Fall,2013 Mr. Wilson U.S. IMMIGRATION POLICIES AND REFORM Immigration is both an economic necessity and a major problem financially for Economists today. Emigrants work in jobs that most Americans will not choose to partake in, yet most of the money they make gets sent back to their home country and therefore not going into the American economy. And many get paid off the books—lower wages, generally—that does not get taxed. Many Emigrant descendants become supported by American programs like food stamps, Medicaid, and housing services. In the end, Immigration, especially Illegal Immigration provides major cons that make the Local, State, and Federal Government provide legislation to curb Immigration which hurts those Emigrants that will help create businesses that do not send their companies abroad, provide International talent, innovation, and stabilization of economies. For Immigrants to obtain citizenship to the United States of America they must obtain a Green Card and maintain possession of it for five years, three if obtained through spouse or for Violence Against Women Act. Moreover, they must be eighteen, demonstrate continuous upstanding moral behavior...

...sometimes and usually that help comes from studying past presidents’ actions. For example, immigration reform is frequently addressed by presidents making some form of executive action. This is an outcome of the last ten presidents having simply looked at what their predecessor had done and then mimicking his practices. Those doing this however, have created a cycle that must be ended because executive action in the United States is an ineffective course of reforming immigration. The aforementioned,...

This phenomenon is one of the more characteristic of human behavior in the search of welfare for the families and his descending also. Today our country is facing one of the more major challenges in its history, achieve that the migration process is carried in order, development and applying the laws that are effective for the benefit of our society. In the next few months, immigration reform will be high on the list of priorities in the House of Representatives. Despite significant public support for immigration reform among members of the public in both parties, many of the most basic facts about immigrants and immigration remain misunderstood. Immigration reform is part of the solution for creating a stronger, more successful, and unified nation. America is a nation of immigrants, and welcoming immigrants reflects the key values on which this country is based: hard work, perseverance, taking on challenges, demonstrating individuality, and showing compassion. In addition, immigration reform is a bipartisan issue where everyone can agree that a working immigration system contributes to a stronger country—economically, socially, and culturally. Anti-immigrant pundits often downplay the importance of immigration to America’s future, treating immigrants and immigration as a threat. While there are plenty of legitimate issues to question and debate in immigration policy, choosing to use the...

...Retention of HR records Revised July 2015 What are HR records? HR records include a wide range of data relating to individuals working in an organisation, for example, pay or absence levels, hours worked and trade union agreements. This information may be stored in a variety of media such as paper files and, increasingly, on computer databases. It is important for all organisations to maintain effective systems for storing HR data, both to ensure compliance with all relevant legislation (for example in respect of the minimum wage or working time regulations) as well to support sound personnel administration and broader HR strategy. Our factsheet on human capital has more details of how employee information can help identify the sort of HR or management interventions which will drive business performance. However, as detailed below, in the UK a complex regulatory regime governs the length of time for which HR records should be stored. The legal position Legislation There is a substantial and complex amount of legislation in the EU and UK that has an impact upon the retention of personnel and other related records in those regions. Examples of legislation dealing with particular categories of records are provided in the boxes below. Access, storage, format and destruction The Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA) applies to most personnel records, whether held in paper, microform, or computerised format. Under the DPA data must not be kept any longer than is necessary for...

...Executive Summary Budgetary Control within public sector entities can be a difficult task due to the complexity of the system. A budget is a financial plan that contains expected revenues and proposed expenditures for a period of time. Every public sector entity needs an operating budget, which is prepared by an executive board and then approved by legislature. One the approved budget is adopted; it becomes a law and cannot be changed. If an entity exceeds its budget, it can be forced to pay hefty fines. The funding for public sector budgets is usually from taxes, loans, revenues, fines, inflation, donations and grants. When controlling revenues, it is important to record revenues as when they are earned. Unearned estimated revenues should remain as unrealized revenues. Budgetary control over expenditures follows the logical cycle: appropriations are recorded, and then encumbrances are recorded, followed by the expenditures, and then payment is disbursed. Public sector entities face both advantages and disadvantages of budgetary control. It is a challenge for such entities to operate within their proposed budgets due to budget cuts, budget surprises, and unforeseen costs, such as emergencies. This is evident in cities such as Detroit, Michigan; Atwater, California; and Fresno California. The most relevant implication of budgetary control was seen in the government shutdown, which occurred on October 1st, and last 16 days. This paper examines the importance of budgetary control...

...provide the basis for the reconciliation of social and economic rights in the areas of EU freedoms, posting of workers and industrial action? Discuss with reference to the situation in at least three of the core countries. Introduction: Since the formation of the European Union in the 1950s, there has been a constant tension between the market aim of the union and social policy. The enlargement of the EU in 2004 and 2007 deepened even further these misalignments and in some respects it can be argued that a tension between new and old Member States started to emerge. Arnholtz and Mailand (2013) argues that the social dimension of the EU is as old as itself. Nonetheless it was not until the early 1980s that the European Union started to gradually develop a genuine social dimension to complement economic integration. This social dimension includes directives that are considered to be 'hard-law' as well as 'soft-law' which deal with aspects such as 'Open Methods of coordination' and the voluntary agreements of social partners. The aim of this paper is to discuss the implications of economic and social policies in the European labour market. In order to get the argument across, the emphasis will be put on four major legal cases that were interpreted by the European Court of Justice and the implications of the rulings on several member states. The cases known as the 'Laval-quartet' will delve deep into the topic of the posting of workers (PWD) and the imbalance of the social and...

...Beverly, Rose A. His 221 010 August 27, 2011 Morris, Erin The cultural patterns of the Native American groups prior to European colonization. Even though Christopher Columbus claimed to have discovered the Americas in 1492, it was already inhabited some fifteen to twenty thousand years prior. The glaciers were reduced because of global warming and this gave the nomadic hunters access to the core of the North American continent. Amazingly, this contributed to their food supply abundantly and this produced a swift population growth. More changes became evident in the environment which included a new food source such as fish, nuts and berries. These Native Americans, known as Paleo-Indians, adjusted and propelled forward. Because they were exposed to a new food source they discovered how to cultivate certain plants. At this stage, the Agriculture Revolution was born and this significantly altered the Native American culture. With a more stable food source these Indians became docile and established. This also helped in establishing stable villages and eventually led to some type of government which included elders and leaders. The Eastern Woodland Cultures did not practice agriculture first and foremost but supplemented their food chain with hunting and fishing. They had settled in the northern region along the Atlantic coast. The Algonquian-speaking Natives resided from North Carolina to Main and spoke many different...
