Immigration and Customs Enforcement along with Department of Homeland Security, “admits that nearly half a million people have been arrested and released, and have failed to show up for court” (Dobbs np). Ideally, every illegal alien who is arrested for gang related activities or other crimes should be held until he or she can be removed. The economic costs at federal, state and local levels, of arresting, prosecuting, sentencing, and supervising criminal illegal aliens has become a major concern for the United
By giving undocumented immigrants citizenship we would be rewarding criminals. Like Thomas Paine wrote in his pamphlet Common Sense, "In America, LAW is king!" Not only are these criminals breaking the law by coming here illegally, but a lot of them are expanding on there crime! I suppose you would want to give citizenship to Marita Nelson, who came
He then gives an example of a woman who chose to post an article in the newspaper saying she purchased marijuana with her children in the car, instead of doing jail time. This example poorly supports the point he is trying to make due to the fact that, he only states how the mothers imprisonment could affect the family. I guess the issue of long term effects on the mother as well as the children due to shaming sentences escaped his mind. When a judge sentences you to be imprisoned for a specific crime it remains anonymous to those you do not tell, but shaming broadcasts it to the public. This can cause public stigmas that can be hard to get rid of or ignore.
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.
Los Angeles County and Racial Discrimination Does one single race commit more crime than any other? The idea seems true because the Los Angeles County Police Department uses race as a factor in detecting crime. Although classifying individuals by their skin tone seems wrong, in some cases the reasons are justified. For example, the country had to racially profile all people of Middle-Eastern descent to be a terrorist after September eleven. This classification makes sense because if crime is caused by terrorists; terrorist will cause crimes.
The woman was scared upon seeing them. There is nothing to do with skin color but prejudices are always the root of racial tension. Ironically they were criminals and carjacked Brendan Fraser and Sandra Bullock’s car. Another racial discrimination happened when locksmith Michael Peña was changing the door in Brendan Fraser and Sandra Bullock’s home. Since she was upset by the carjacking, she noticed Michael Peña is a Mexican-American with tattoos on his arm, the first vision she had made was gang tattoos.
Although police officers stand for peace, there are many countries where people view police not as the hero but as the villain. Even in safe, developed countries like Canada and the United States, acts of police misconduct have occurred. For these reasons, police officers should not be allowed to carry firearms. Eliminating guns won’t eliminate police misconduct; however it will take some power away from them but that can be good because they will also be gaining power this way. It sounds confusing but when people see a man with a gun, no matter what side of the law he is on, they will get intimidated and possibly fear him.
United States is a nation of immigrants. Every year, millions of people enter the country and nearly one million people coming without authorization and overstay visas. The escalating number of undocumented immigrants comes into the country with the hope that their hard work and sacrifice will achieve a better life, yet they are breaking the law. Due to the influx flows of legal and illegal immigrants into the United States, it’s been the hot issue for every state that immigrants bring a huge impact to the nation and the lives of the Native American such as economic threats and jobs. The issue has been long debated enough, and people have demanded a change or a law, to crackdown for those responsible who disobeyed the law and allowing the unauthorized to stay and work in the country.
It protects the guilty rather than the victims. This rule basically states that evidence obtained illegally cannot be used in a criminal trial. The basis of this rule is supposed to prevent the police and other sections of the government from illegally searching or violating our homes and our privacy. When all it really does is prevents the truth from surfacing and help criminals go free. After researching both sides of this issue, in no way am I stating that I don’t understand the determination of the opposing side to keep this rule.
Arizona’s law encouraging citizen identity checks by police: State intrusion into National Policy or Permissible State Action? Border control and illegal immigration is a problem, but how do we take care of it? The attorneys representing the U.S. Government believe that the border control currently in effect have somewhat slowed down unauthorized immigration. (Rourke 16) They argue that the officers need to profile immigrants based off of their ethnicity and that after a wrong has been done that the person in question should have their status as Americans checked and if they are not legal, they are sent back to where they came from. Others believe that this violates a major constitutional law and that it is racist because it causes police
