ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION Views for deportation of illegal immigrants
Employers-some truly sympathize with illegal immigrants and feel they deserve an opportunity to thrive and be successful, while some are thinking solely of profit, and looking for the cheapest labor possible, some say it is difficult to get American citizens to take the jobs that illegal immigrants perform Opponents have 2 main arguments, taxes and jobs. Economic Impact Taxes-Illegal immigrant require government services. Their children attend public schools. When they get sick, they go to public hospitals. Many studies, however, have found that the undocumented immigrants pay more in payroll taxes—income taxes and Social Security—than the costs of these services. Undocumented immigrants also pay local taxes, but local government officials complain that local government pays for the services that undocumented immigrants need and the federal government collects the bulk of the taxes that they pay. Jobs-No hard statistics have been produced that show how seriously American workers are hurt by illegal immigrants taking jobs they could fill. Supporters are those who once again sympathize with the struggle for economic success of illegal immigrants and feel laws should be enacted to allow illegal immigrants to work legally in the united states.

Pros and Cons of the Solutions
Which do you think is best? Why? b) Which do you think is worst? Why? c) List 1-3 other pros or cons for each solution. (1) More border control. (2) Prevent employers from hiring undocumented immigrants. (3) Withhold government services from unauthorized immigrants. (4) Grant workers a path to gain citizenship or work permits. (5) Give police the authority and responsibility to identify illegal immigrants (Arizona SB 1070) Solutions? Regardless of your view, pretty much everyone agrees that the issue of illegal immigration must be addressed. (1) This would entail further beefing up the Border Patrol and perhaps even calling on National Guard troops to help out. (2) This would entail stiffening punishments on employers, particularly repeat offenders. Assets from a business could be forfeited to the government. Some current policies being proposed urge the creation of a fraud-resistant federal identity card for every person legally in the United States or a database listing all eligible workers. Opponents argue that punishing employers would hurt business and start making employers reluctant to hire minorities. (3). This would entail passing laws requiring public schools, hospitals, and welfare offices to require proof of citizenship or legal residency before permitting persons to use non emergency public services. Supporters believe that this would relieve taxpayers from paying for services for undocumented immigrants. Opponents argue that this would do nothing to stop illegal immigration, that it would send children into the streets and leave dangerous diseases undiagnosed, and that the Supreme Court has declared such laws unconstitutional in Plyler v. Doe (1982). (4) Grant an amnesty and give workers a path to gain citizenship. Undocumented workers already in the United States would be given a work permit on showing that they have no criminal record and after a period of years, they would be given the opportunity to get permit resident status and eventually citizenship. Supporters say that these people have entered illegally mainly because our immigration system is broken. They argue that these workers should get a chance to earn citizenship. Opponents argue that granting an amnesty has been tried before and only encourages more illegal immigration. 20

Which of these do you think best explains treatment of immigrants?
Cultural Transmission: focuses on how prejudice is transmitted through culture from generation to generation through family and/or media. Group Identification Theory: focuses on how prejudices are tied in with an individual’s racial and ethnic group membership. Personality theories: assert that those with high levels of frustration or authoritarian personalities have higher tendencies of holding prejudice beliefs. Frustration-aggression hypothesis: ethnic prejudices develop in response to people’s need to cope with the frustration in their daily lives.

Timeline of significant U.S. Immigration Laws
Texas Proviso 1952: makes harboring an illegal entrant a felony, but does not punish those who employ them. Immigration Act of 1965: abolished the national origins quota system. Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986: made it illegal for employers to knowingly hire illegal immigrants. Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996: authorized more Border Patrol agents and a triple fence along the San Diego border, USA Patriot Act of 2001: put immigration under the control of the newly created Department of Homeland Security (Kimer, 2005) Real ID Act May 2005: prohibits undocumented immigrants from holding a driver’s licenses Bill 4427 December 2005: Made remaining in the U.S. as an undocumented immigrant a federal felony (en.wikpedia.org) Immigration Act of 1965 abolished the national origins quota system. Preference is given to skilled persons and immigrants who are closely related to American citizens. After five years residency in the United States, immigrants may apply for naturalized citizenship. Refugee Act of 1980 defined a “refugee” as any person leaving his or her own country because of a “well founded fear of persecution on account of race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular group, or political opinion.” Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 made it illegal for employers to knowingly hire illegal immigrants .It also set up a process to grant amnesty and legal papers to about 1.5 million undocumented people in the United States. Not enforced Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 authorized more Border Patrol agents and a triple fence along the San Diego border, made tougher penalties for smuggling people and creating fraudulent documents, and created an “expedited removal” process to remove anyone trying to enter the United States without proper documents. USA Patriot Act of 2001 put immigration under the control of the newly created Department of Homeland Security and tripled the budget for Border Patrol agents along the Canadian border. Real ID Act, a rider attached to an $82 billion supplementary budget for U.S. troops in Afghanistan and Iraq. The bill makes asylum claims more difficult and allows for the construction of a larger fence at the U.S.-Mexico border. Importantly, it prohibits undocumented immigrants from holding driver's licenses.

What parts of the U.S. do most immigrants settle in? And why?
New York Illinois New Jersey California Florida Texas As in most cases of human migration, there are “push” and “pull” factors at work. “Push” factors are conditions that encourage people to leave their homelands. They include such things as famine, unemployment, and poverty. Also, crippling taxes, wars, the military draft, and religious and political persecution have forced people to abandon their native countries. Immigrants coming to this country have not only been “pushed” from their homelands. They have also been “pulled” by the seemingly limitless opportunities of America. (Croddy, Hayes, 2006) California, Texas, Florida, New York, Illinois 34
