In 2005, more than 500 died across the entire U.S.-Mexico border. The number of yearly border crossing deaths has doubled since 1995. The statistics cited by scholars and the media are merely the number of known deaths, and do not include those that have never been found, grossly underestimating the actual number of migrants that have died attempting unauthorized border crossings. Mexico's Secretarial of Foreign Affairs) has compiled data that includes deaths on the Mexican side of the border area during the period from 1994 to 2000. Their data show 87 deaths in 1996, 149 in 1997, 329 in 1998, 358 in 1999, and 499 in 2000.
The Immigration and Naturalization Service estimates that in January of 2000 there were 7 million illegal aliens living in the United States, a number that is growing by half a million a year. Thus, the illegal-alien population in 2006 is estimated to be about 10 million (Illegal). It is said that this number is much lower than the actual figure. Nearly 210,000 aliens are believed to have died or returned home on their on account. In addition, 63,000 were removed by the INS and 183,000 were awarded green cards, and therefore deemed legal (Illegal).
Background Approximately 15,000 people die each year by overdosing on opioids, a rate that has more than tripled since 1990 (Wermeling, 2012). The annual incidence of opioid over dose associated mortality on a nationwide scale has been difficult to assess due to incomplete reporting systems (Leavitt, S.2010) as well as more than half of over doses go unreported for fears of repercussions (kuehn,2014). In Massachusetts these over doses have killed more than car crashes each year since 2005 (Wermeling, 2012). The government had tried numerous strategies to reduce the death toll, including imposing stricter regulations on prescribing medications, prosecuting owners of “pill mills” who dispense the drugs without proper medical evaluation, and tracking data bases to monitor and discourage “doctor shopping” among addicts (Szalvitz,2013). Addiction often begins with a legitimate opioid

Conference of Catholic Bishops on January 30th, they forecast that nearly 60,000 unaccompanied minors from South and Central America will be entering the United States this year from the southern border. This has escalated from less than 25,000 the year before, and an even larger leap from a decade ago of just 5,800. Many of the minors who are caught, are released to their relatives already within the United States, who in many cases are themselves illegal immigrants (Millman). Many critics of immigration see this as a way for more and more illegal immigrants to flow in to the United States without and worry of deportation. Sadly, to some, many of the minors who cross over the border illegally are mashed through a mix of government agencies all with the soul goal of supervising the children and teens before deporting them back to their home country.
Research shows that between 40 and 50 percent of wage loss among low skilled Americans is due to the immigration of low skilled workers. Some native workers lose not just wages but their jobs through immigrant competition. An estimated 1,880,000 American workers are displaced from their jobs every year by immigration. (Colorado Alliance for Immigration Reform) 71% of respondents in a 2006 Quinnipiac University Poll believed that enforcement of immigration laws would require additional measures beyond a border fence, with 65% of
The people they target are the illegal immigrants. Between 400,000 and 700,000, immigrants have entered the United States each year since 1992. Most of illegal immigrants are crossing from the Mexico border. This is costing taxpayers billion of dollars, millions of U.S dollars remitted to Mexico, and immigrants who cross the border
American Indians, African American and Asian Americans are some of the larger racial minorities in U.S. history. It is listed that African Americans average population is 12.9%. Asian Americans are at 4.6% today but that amount is changing rapidly. There are around 500,000 people that enter this country legally from Mexico every year, but at least 500,000 more cross the border illegally. It is said about 61% of all those who enter the
Social and Economic Challenges Ex-Offenders Encounter Upon Reentry That Contribute to the Recidivism Rate in the United States Wanda DeMoss COM/156 Trudy Gay September 25, 2012 Introduction A major cause of ex-offenders' astonishingly high recidivism rate is their return to the same per-incarceration economic and social environments. According to the U.S. Department of Justice over 600,000 prisoners are released from prison each year (Holzer, Raphael, & Stoll, 2003). Of these 600,000 ex-offenders 300,000 from 15 states were studied in 1994 by the U.S. Department of Justice. The study found that within three years 52% of these ex-offenders were back in prison (Logan & Levin, 1994). The majority of these ex-offenders are released to the same drug riddled neighborhoods, dysfunctional family and friends, and limited job opportunities, which are only made worse by the fact that they are now convicted felons.
Juveniles Tried As Adults John Doe English 1A Professor Education November 13, 2014 Juveniles Should Be Tried As Adults For Violent Crimes. Over 500,000 juveniles are taken into custody every year in the United States. Although the arrests of juveniles may fluctuate on a yearly basis, Snyder and Sickmund (2006) stated in 2003 alone there were 2.2 million arrests made comprised of persons under the age of 18. There are roughly 12.5 million arrests made every year in the United States and with 2.2 million of those arrests being juveniles, that enormous number becomes a very alarming one. Two hundred and fifty thousand juveniles are tried and sentenced for their crimes as adults every year in the United States.
