What is illegal immigration you ask? Well it is when an unauthorized or undocumented alien from another country crosses the national border in a way that violates the immigration laws of this country. In today’s world we are faced with the problems of illegal immigration, what we don’t know is that this actually cost us money. As of today we have eleven million illegal aliens in our United States, some of these 6,640,000 are from just Mexico alone. Mexico is one of our big illegal immigration problems we are faced with.
The increase in power within the drug cartels makes the future of organized crime seem bleak regarding society, but positive for the OC units themselves. The 1980s brought about many changes in the world of drug trade. The United States government began blocking trades routes from the Caribbean, forcing drug smugglers to take different routes. The new routes ran through the Pacific and Central American isthmus which led smugglers straight to Mexico. Mexicans can smuggle just about anything across the border and upon this realization came the Mexican drug cartel boom.
Societal Concern and the Issue of Police Corruption in Mexico There is a natural difference between truth and falsehood and right and wrong. Since the concept of rules and regulation has evolved and developed over time, there have been certain people who were chosen to enforce those regulations. Society looks to members of law enforcement to patrol, protect and guard property, lives and humanity. Without the rules and regulations set forth by governing officials, criminal activities would lead mankind on a downward spiral; economies would falter, governments would collapse and industries would
Once to the hospital people and twice to the police. No address. No Name.” (Paragraph 3) The Mexicans as part of their illegal status could trust no one with their real identity. Miran questions why she is so concerned “why it mattered, the hours and hours, for somebody she didn’t even know”. (Paragraph 4) At this particular point in the story the reader realizes that if Miran is not there and does not care who would.
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.
Illegal immigration has been an important and serious issue for decades; which affects everyone, both Americans and immigrants themselves. Illegal Immigration has three main purposes: first to find a better life in the “promise land”, second: free healthcare, and third: for criminal activity. Most illegal immigrants come to America with the best intentions for themselves and/or their families, but many others have alternative motives. The thing that must be remembered is that illegal immigration is illegal. It’s all in the name.
This is creating an enormous debate and concern for many people, not only within our government. With crime rates increasing and horrific events taking place the solution to this problem is not easily resolved. However there are many new views on how to properly solve this problem without depriving American people their right to use firearms as a tool and possible means of survival. Not only have these incidents been growing in numbers, but have been widespread throughout the US. Many people believe that it may be due to the economy and the struggle of people living in poverty to provide for their families.
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.
In most states it was and still is a felony to posses any marijuana or paraphernalia. A felony means mandatory jail time, huge fees, you can’t poses guns, and many businesses will not hire, not to mention all the other strict stipulations surrounding a conviction of a felony. Does it not seem extreme that a teacher would go to jail for smoking a joint, while rapists, thieves, and even worse criminals get off with probation. The current marijuana policies are in no way effective, menacing at best, ruining the lives of good citizens throughout our community. Prohibition has never helped, in any country, to solve or aid in the effort of cutting down marijuana use.
The government has made many attempts for prevention, but the cartels still earn in tens of billions of dollars a year. Illegal weaponry has gotten into the hands of the cartels and gangs and battles with troops have become more difficult because of the weapons they possess. Recently, drug traffickers threatened to kill one police officer in Juarez every 48 hours unless Police Chief Roberto Orduña Cruz stepped down. When he refused, his deputy turned up
