One is crossing the border illegally by land. Another way get into the US are by false identities or by stolen, or falsified passports. Another way is by illegal smuggling boats. “Others enter with legal documentation and then violate the terms on which they have been admitted by taking jobs that are not authorized or overstaying the authorized period of stay in the country” (Illegal Immigration) A bad side to having such a large amount of illegal immigrants in the nation is the crime rate and prison population caused by certain “illegals”. “Illegal immigration is a major cause in the overcrowding of our schools and our prisons.” (Bender, David) Michael Huffington, a former member of the US House of Reps. For California says that, “Many illegal immigrants come for two purposes that are both destructive and expensive: to commit crimes or to receive government benefits.” (Huffington, 63) “For instance, the 18th Street gang in Southern California is one of the nation’s most violent street gangs with a staggering 20,000 members.
They were either pursuing a better life, new opportunities, or just running away from a political system. Here they found peace, tranquility and opportunity for advancement — the so-called” American Dream”. Illegal immigration is one of the most controversial issues in the United States, but the new the Arizona law has provoked intense debate from Texas to Montana, drawing support in several polls and generating rejection by major civil rights groups. That is, Americans are trying to correct unlawful immigration dilemma with laws that infringe people’s freedom, liberty and equality. Although the federal government stills working on the immigration reform, according to Arizona’s law, it is a state crime not carrying immigration documents.
The government’s quick implementation of Executive Order 9066 in reaction to the public’s panic, not only was unconstitutional and violated Japanese American rights, but also resulted in needless effort and attention towards the internment camps, making this an act of racism, not a military necessity. The United States government did not hold the right to intern Japanese Americans because of their ethnic background. People argued that the Japanese immigrants in the United States posed as a threat but fact is, 127,100 Japanese-Americans, about two thirds of whom were American born citizens, were evacuated (Powell). The Japanese-Americans had the same rights as any other American citizen, yet they were still interned. The public went straight to the conclusion that all people of
The University of California was in error of poor ethical codes. Bin Han would not have gone through all of this if the University had better control of business research. There were others that felt the repercussions of this case. A California State Legislator, Judy Chu, has said this case had the same type of allegations as a former one, Dr. Wen Ho Lee, a physicist, charged with stealing classified materials. Asian Americans are said to be marked by these types of actions.
Secondly, the International Criminal Court has many critics on the effectiveness of its work. Thirdly, where the International Court is currently at with its achievements. Firstly, by creating the International Criminal Court in The Hague, Netherlands was a big step forward in the development of law but only theoretically because the idea of the ICC hasn’t been realized completely yet. Initially, the ICC was supposed to deal with the crimes that violate principle human rights all over the world. Countries couldn’t cope with these problems independently they began the process of the ICC’s creating what they supposed would punish criminals who violated laws the court have jurisdiction of.
Biased or Unbiased In the essay “Conspiracy against Assimilation” by Robert J. Samuelson, he explains the two proposals that are being debated on how to deal with America’s immigration problems. The first takes a harsh approach by making being here illegally a felony, which would make it extremely difficult for illegal immigrants to stay here and eventually they’ll have no other choice but to go back to where they came from. The second is to provide work permits for those who would usually sneak in, this way there would be no shortages in unskilled workforce. Samuelson disagrees with both of the proposals and proposes a different approach to solving our immigration issues. As Samuelson explains the two proposals and suggests new ideas, he mainly uses the Latino (Hispanic) population as an example to support his arguments.
In the past, States accused of securing representation for those who have been accused, however, they were not competent. The federal court has now created stipulations regarding the knowledge of the lawyer. They must be able to provide an insight on the case for which they have been called, otherwise, different representation must be secured. While many court cases have been presented regarding the right to counsel, there are some limitations that must be considered. A defendant must be represented; however, they do not have the right to choose which counsel they will receive.
Illegal immigration is becoming a problem in the United States. When asked what should be done about illegal immigration, most people would say, deport them. While this is a solution it is not a practical one. A solution to illegal immigration is to start billing those counties for the services provided to illegal immigrants in the United States. This is the right choice because if, for example, Mexico is charged for the serves then they may be more willing to fix their own county to make it a more reasonable choice to stay.
With these appalling circumstances who can blame illegal aliens seeking the promise of a better life? Victor Davis Hanson does, author of "Mexifornia: A State of Becoming" feels that illegal aliens aren't only a burden on the economy, but also a hindrance to the purity of American society/culture. I however don't agree with Hanson's ideology, and I firmly believe Mexifornia Hanson’s “essay within a memoir” is a critically flawed piece of literature in many regards. Hanson's work questions the very status of the state of California, as a flood of illegal immigrants from Mexico continues to cross into California unveiled, and hence Hanson's usage of terms such as "Mexifornia" and "Calexico". While Hanson makes significant points in terms of the reasoning behind this "great migration" of illegal immigrants, the rest of his work is too hypothetical and contradictory to be seriously taken into account.
Some debates talk about citizenship, border security, driver's license, mass deportations, threats, economic burdens, and higher crime rates. For example, in America, 72% of legal citizens oppose allowing illegal immigrants the ability to obtain a driver's license (Miller). Other problems create disadvantages towards American citizens and workers, such as the Southwest seeing an increase in mass murders, sexual assaults, kidnappings, shootings, armed robberies, burglaries, and more, most being tied to illegal immigration (Greenblatt). These problems further drain public budgets and intensify competition for jobs, social services, and low-cost affordable housing because of the congestion in cities and towns that involve minorities, the homeless, everyday citizens, and both legal and illegal immigrants. Throughout the current wave of immigration, polls have consistently found that the public, at large, favors curbing immigration.
