...institutions and practical arrangements by which we express our consent and govern ourselves. The development, design and structures of constitutionalism in the United States are important not because these concepts are old, or even exclusively ours, but because they form the basic architecture of American Liberty. Who controls the nation’s immigration laws- Congress or Executive? Although the question seems straight forward, the historical picture is mixed, and the text of the U.S. Constitution does not point clearly to the answer. While the Constitution’s text and the various Supreme Court cases interpreting this text suggest that the federal government has the exclusive power to enact and enforce the nation’s immigration laws, state and local authorities still play an important role in regulation of immigration because they shape the conditions of daily life for immigrants in their jurisdictions. This piece of writing will in the best possible way, clearly explain who between Congress and Executive should be responsible for immigration laws and conclude that, Congress according to the U.S constitution, is and should be responsible for immigration laws using related law cases as example. Article I, Section 8, clause 4 of the Con¬stitution entrusts the federal legislative branch with the power to “establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization.” This clear textual command for uniformity establishes that the federal government, specifically Congress, is responsible for crafting the...

Research Question 5 ii. Research Methodology 5 iii. Data Collection 6 iv. Expected Outcomes - Conclusion 7 Reference 8 Executive Summary This report shows the immigration rates and is compared to those of the rest of the world. From this report, Australia can be seen as a widely multicultural society with a very wide variety of ethnicities and country of origins. The first chart was obtained from the Australia Bureau of Statistics. It clearly outlines the migration growth from the 1970’s – 2014; Although the numbers are not inversely increasing, the final migration population in the recent years has clearly outgrown from when migration first started back in the 70’s. The second chart was also obtained from the Australia Bureau of Statistics. The data reflects on the numbers of different population from different countries residing in Australia in the year 2014. It can be seen that the European countries are top on the charts followed by Asian countries. Despite each country having its own resources and opportunity to work, there are a portion of them that choose to migrate to Australia and have yet to stop increasing over the years.

...An ongoing debate and current issue today is immigration. The Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM Act) was proposed back in 2001 but failed to pass the house of senate. If the bill were to pass it would have provide legal residency to thousands of undocumented students who aspire to attend college. Supporters of the bill argue that if the bill were to pass it would not only benefit undocumented students, but it would have benefit the economy, promote cultural assimilation, and introduce a new group of people to obtain higher education. Senators Orrin Hatch, Republican of Utah, and Richard Urbin, Democrat from Illinois, first introduced the Dream Act in the congress in 2001. The purpose was to give undocumented minors an opportunity to attain higher education opportunities and provide a path to receive full and legal citizenship. The requirements listed were entering the country before age 16, being between the age of 12 and 35 at the time the bill was enacted, attend...

...Australia has a legal obligation towards asylum seekers and refugees. Australia has a legal obligation towards Asylum Seekers and Refugees as 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...

...RATIONALE The project involves the establishment and maintenance of a vermiculture and vermicomposting center in Talisayan to accelerate the growth of agricultural activities. This project aims to provide sufficient organic fertilizer (vermin-based) as well as to promote organic fertilizer application to local farmers. Vermicomposting was chosen because its successful use would contribute to the ultimate goal of a sustainable organic agricultural farming. The practice of vermicomposting supports Republic Act No. 10068 otherwise known as the Philippine Organic Agriculture Act of 2010, a landmark legislation to promote, propagate, develop further and implement the practice of organic agriculture in the Philippines that will cumulatively condition and enrich the fertility of the soil, increase farm productivity, reduce pollution and destruction of the environment, prevent the depletion of natural resources, further protect the health of farmers, consumers, and the general public, and save on imported farm inputs.1 It likewise supports the National Organic Agriculture Program (NOAP) of the government which envisions the organic agriculture sector contributing to the country s over-all agriculture growth and development, in terms of sustainability, competitiveness and food security, where at least five (5) percent of Philippine agricultural farm areas practice organic farming; and where consumers both national and international increasingly support Philippine organic food products...

...San Antonio Independent School District v. Rodriguez, 411 U.S. 1 (1973) Historical Setting After Civil Rights success in the 1960’s, many of the United States underrepresented citizenry such as minorities and poor searched for equality through the Constitution. In San Antonio, Texas, citizens found that the school finance system was unjust and filed suit under the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The Federal District Court found that the Texas school finance system violated the Fourteenth Amendment. The State appealed to the Supreme Court. Case Summary San Antonio Independent School District v. Rodriguez (1973) argued that education was a “fundamental right” implied in the Constitution and that poor Hispanic families were being treated as a “suspect class” due to financial disparities between wealthy and poor school districts. The argument was that this inequality of funding between school district’s violated the Equal Protection Clause. The State contended that education was not an Federal enumerated power, therefore it was reserved to the State and that included financial decisions. Court’s Decision The Court found in a 5-4 ruling that this was not a violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment because education is not a guarantee...

...[pic] Joseph Rowntree Foundation Forced Labour Programme Summary of Research Projects Funded in 2009 The first phase of the Foundation’s forced labour programme aims to improve the evidence base through research projects exploring the scope and experience of forced labour in the UK. The following four projects have been funded in this phase. The lead project holder and institution are given for each project. Findings from this research will be published during 2011. The scope of forced labour in the UK – Sam Scott, University of Bristol This study will examine the relationship between vulnerable work and labour exploitation in the UK by assessing the scale and scope of ‘forced labour’. The overall aim is to determine the degree to which the six elements of forced labour – as defined by the International Labour Organisation – can be said to be present across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Beyond this broad aim, the team are also interested in the groups and sectors most associated with forced labour and the policies in place to combat the problem (or compensate victims of it). Secondary data will be collected from four sources: • Academic and ‘grey’ literature • Legal and policy documents • Case material from organisations working with exploited workers (the Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB), unions, religious organisations, government agencies) • Media coverage Primary data will be collected from three sources: • Sector focus groups ...

Suggested Out of Class Exercises Introduction No emergency management system anywhere in the world can properly function without statutory authority and consistent budget appropriations. Statutory authority defines disasters programs, determines who is eligible for these programs, provides the legal support needed to implement disaster programs and establishes the legal foundation for funding the programs and activities of the disaster agency. Without such authority, a government agency is powerless. Legal Basis of Modern Emergency Management in the United States The first recorded emergency management legislation in the United States occurred in 1803 when a Congressional Act was passed to provide financial assistance to a New Hampshire town devastated by fire. This is the first example of the Federal government becoming involved in a local disaster. During the 1930’s the Reconstruction Finance Corporation and the Bureau...

...criminal law in the UK: legislation, that is, Acts of Parliament (or statutes), and case law. It will give you an overview of the process by which Acts of Parliament come into existence as well as introducing you to European Union legislation and the European Convention on Human Rights, both of which have an influence on the law in the UK. You will also gain an understanding of the criminal courts in which cases are heard and the systems of law reporting which allow access to the judgments of those courts. As well as exploring the sources of law, this chapter will show you how to find legislation and case law using a variety of online resources. Finally, the chapter will give a brief introduction to finding the criminal law of overseas jurisdictions. An understanding of the criminal law is important to the study of criminology as it is the criminal law that defines certain forms of conduct as criminal. This criminal law can be contained in both statute law and case law, so it is essential that you understand the origins of both and the ways in which they interrelate. You should see that the criminal law is constantly changing and evolving in response to social, political, and technological influences which manifest themselves in new statutes or judicial interpretation of existing law. If you are studying criminology as an option on a law degree, then the content of this chapter should already be familiar to you, but if you are encountering criminal law for the first time, then this chapter...
