Illegal Mexican Immigrants Raven Reed Dr. Stephen Kenealy PAD 590 D R P June 3, 2012 Introduction This section will detail how and what immigration laws and policies the United States are using to help reduce or control the problem of illegal immigration. There are many regulation, policies and laws in place to help prevent, limit or eventually stop illegal immigrants from migrating to America. The impetus of illegal immigration deterrence starts with efficient and effective of immigration laws and regulations. Senate Bill 1070 (Arizona), Proposition 187 (California) and Hammon-Beason 56 (Alabama) are just some of the controversial immigration bills designed to help stop the flow of illegal immigrants from migrating to America primarily focusing on illegal Mexican immigrants.
