Chapter One FBI agent Amber Martinez stifled a yawn as she stared at her computer screen. It was 11:24 pm, and she was sitting in a ragged swivel chair in her small cubicle. She took a swig of now cold coffee from her “#1 FBI” mug. Leaning back in the chair, she sighed loudly. “If only…” she muttered. Suddenly, her computer's monitor dinged. She sat up expectantly and squinted at the screen. An email. From someone she didn’t know. She eyed it suspiciously before clicking the link to open it. “Oh

Total inhalation of immigration would not be a healthy choice for the United States. However, setting out for stricter laws to become a citizen is in need. There are over 11.7 million illegal immigrants in the United States (poll 2011). Therefore, having restrictions on immigration overall can help the economy grow, security at airports, docs, borders, and on the streets would not only lessen the illegal immigrants around the country, but supply more jobs for Americans. Illegal immigrants not only
Six years after the promulgation of the Refugee Act of 1980 the U.S. Congress enacted the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA), on November of 1986, with the objective to control and deter the illegal immigration into the United States. The major provisions demanded; a) the legalization of foreign nationals who had been continuously unlawfully present in our country since 1982. b) Demanded the creation of mechanism to secure and enforce the United States borders. c) The legal adjustment

Also, immigration law governs the legal status of people already in the country in matters such as citizenship and permanent residency. The United States maintains strict immigration laws; these laws regulate both the right of
I. Historical Background of Immigration Immigration in the United States was primarily unrestricted and unregulated up until the 1880’s. It wasn’t until 1882 when federal regulation of immigration began. Congress passed the Immigration Act which established the collection of a fee from each noncitizen arriving at a U.S. port. Immigrants were screened for the first time under this act, and entry by anyone deemed a "convict, lunatic, idiot, or person unable to take care of himself or herself without
Border Patrol The U.S. Border Patrol to me is very important to the United States of America and to me as well. Without the Border Patrol, America would be a goat standing in the middle of a wolf cage. The Border Patrol and their agents border the boundaries of America so we can be safe in our homes. People don’t realize how important any kind of law enforcement is, until the day that they need assistance comes. I don’t take our men and women who protect us Americans; it is something that not everyone
immigrants in the U.S. today, immigration reform has been a volatile issue that hasn’t been adequately addressed throughout the 21st century. With the last major overhaul occurring in 1986, when over 3 million immigrants were granted U.S. citizenship, politicians are saying another major overhaul is needed to address the newer generation of illegal immigrants. Legislations including the Border Protection, Anti-terrorism, and Illegal Immigration Control Act of 2005, the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act

Improperly Inspired Illegal Immigration The current method for dealing with illegal immigration needs to change because it has destroyed the American economy. For example, it has been said that, "Worse, the argument goes, many [illegal immigrants] use social programs like hospitals and schools, that cost taxpayers and add to our $16 trillion national debt" (Davidson 2013). This statement shows that the United State's economy has been crippled by these inconsiderate illegal immigrants. However,
Introduction I choose to research about immigration and incarceration and deportation because I believe there is a lot of racism with minorities specifically with Hispanics in the United States. This topic got my attention because immigration is an endless and controversial topic in the democracy system of this country. The capitalistic system in politics is very racism with minorities.

What is border security? The United States Customs and Border Protection define border security as a “top priority is to keep terrorists and their weapons from entering the U.S. while welcoming all legitimate travelers and commerce. CBP officers and agents enforce all applicable U.S. laws, including against illegal immigration, narcotics smuggling and illegal importation.
