Customs officers are expected to do their job and put a stop to the drug trafficking but the temptation of making some extra money may be extremely strong. Money is the root of all evil and a lot of people are very selfish. For an example, they know the effects drugs have on a society as a whole but if the price is high enough, they may turn their head and allow the drugs to be brought in. Not only is this wrong, it is damaging to everyone. “It is believed that the loss of the drug trafficking industry in Mexico would cause that country’s economy to shrink by over 63 percent” (DrugAbuse.net, (2012), para.
Corruption among police is an issue that has been known for many years. In many parts of the United States as well as in other countries the citizens do not trust the police and are even scared of them. Mexico is a very well know country in which many officers are corrupt. In instances such as these, police officers are persuaded and even threatened to work with different drug cartels around different parts of Mexico (Pollock, 2010). This paper will discuss police corruption and misconduct in different areas of the world as well as the ethics involved.
This is a pivotal part in terms of maintain the functioning of society and to ensure that people don’t go around breaking laws wherever and whenever they want. The criminal justice system is therefore a central part of society and without is society would quickly deteriorate into chaos. There are however a number of issues in the criminal justice system. Some of these issues include false convictions and bias within the courtroom. The tutorial discussion this week was essentially discussing how the system operates and some of the flaws within the system such as false convictions which come about through human error or in extreme cases racial bias (Alberto F. Alesina, Eliana La Ferrara, 2011).
My Deviant Subculture Perspective By Alexander Eisemann The prospective thought of a criminal behavior has engrained itself into the court of public opinion. When convicted of a deviant crime within the American culture, the judicial system interprets the crime according to its bureaucratic roles as a formal organization. The inertia that surrounds our judicial department encourages them to get the job done as swiftly as possible. The outcome of the conviction process mostly benifets the bureaucratic role that the judicial branch serves in government, and alienating what is best for the individual, as long as the conviction is proven guilty or not guilty by our cultures standards-(Hofstadter, Richard Sociology in American thought). The ritualism of how we convict criminals usually does not help them in the long run; taking away their legitimate means for obtaining a job.
My assumption that all illegal immigrants were Mexican migrant workers was proven to be wrong. This was evident as events such as 9/11 and drug running came to the forefront. Through this, I found my point of view shifting in favor towards visa overstay regulation and implementation of an interstate connected National ID program. In developing a reasonable solution to the immigration question, I weighed the pros and cons of several different perspectives and solutions. I recognized my beginning assumptions and inferences were a superficial approach to the problem and that more educated thought had to be implemented.
I feel as if the US needs to be more careful with their way of getting such law enforcement officers. Not that their way of selecting officers in today’s world isn’t enough there just needs to be more added to it. In conclusion the movie “US Marshals” conveys multiple levels of criminal behavior. Not only from a criminal running away from law enforcement but rogue cops also committing criminal acts. Before anyone is sent to jail and there is suspicion about the case their needs to be detective work done so that the system doesn’t make the wrong
When ask about Mexico, people will tell you they are south of the U.S border. They will tell you about how illegal drugs and illegal immigrants come through the border. For the ones the like to travel they will tell you about some of the tourist attraction, the way of life there and how much cheaper the things are there compare to the U.S.A., other will tell you that we need to build a wall to keep the illegal immigrants and drugs out of the United States, but in my opinion this will not work out because if there is a way they will find a way to get in the United States for example look at the super tunnels that where discovered in the border of California and Mexico. Canadian come to the United States for other reasons, they come in to buy clothing, automobile and pharmaceutical goods. The cost of living is Canada is expensive, so they come in through our open borders.
Isn’t the federal law in charge of immigration? Why must our local officials then deal with immigration issues? We are creating a vicious circle of hate, what guarantees the citizens that police officials will not violate or take advantage of the power that they have been given? This new law is “giving police officers a green light to harass anyone who looks or sounds foreign” explained Alessandra Soler Meetze, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Arizona. The question again arises, how will the officer detect these illegal immigrants?
Once the policy is passed down from the president or state and local government officials to the appropriate agency within the government it will go to the appropriate bureaucracy. For example a policy designed to enforce traffic safety by cutting down on the number of drunk drivers would be passed down to law enforcement officials for implementation. When no existing agency has the capabilities to carry out a given policy, new agencies must be established and staffed in order to implement the new policy. Additionally the policy must have clear interpretation and the bureaucracy assigned must have buy in or the policy will fail during this phase because too much ambiguity will cause confusion and resistance. Olive (2013) “Even the best polices can encounter implementation challenges.
Illegal immigration is a major issue in the U.S. There has always been a discussion on how to handle illegal immigrant such as should they be allowed to stay or should they be deported. Yet if we really want to solve this issue we have to ask what are the causes for illegal immigration. One major reason for illegal immigration is economic. In Mexico 50% of Mexicans are poor.
