permanently. (Finnegan qutoe) 5th Paragraph: explain the critical function illegals play in U
This country is 11 Trillion dollars indebt and the current government is running a 1.5 trillion dollar budget deficit (Herszenhorn, 2011)
If one finds the function they serve to be a tenuous reason for keeping them here and giving them legal rights, then one should consider the cost-prohibitive measures it would take to deport them. According to a cost estimate by Immigrations and Customs, it would cost roughly 94 billion dollars to detain and deport 12 million illegals (Nizza, 2007)
America is a welcoming country, but citizenship must not be the automatic reward for violating the laws of America." While the Constitution at first glance seems to oppose immigration reform, in fact it facilitates reform and even mandates it (Masugi, 2005)
Effective public administration strategies New strategies that address the ethical issues in immigration reforms are imperative as the debate on immigration continues. In light of the public management skills that have been identified, effective strategies that may be applied include (Balanoff and Warren, 2010): Policy integration There are numerous policies that have been proposed to deal with the issues of legal and illegal immigrants
In fact, approximately 11 million immigrants living in the U.S. do not have official authorization (Carens, 2013)
Ethnic and racial discrimination For a long time debates on immigration have always brought up a racist side of the nation. For instance, in the late 19th century, the influx of Chinese immigrants caused so much racial anxiety that there were numerous anti-Chinese campaigns (Wood, 2015)
The vote was 68 to 32, with 14 Republicans joining the majority. The participation by Republicans is significant because Republican leaders vowed on the very day Obama was inaugurated that the GOP leadership would present "…united and unyielding opposition to the president's economic policies" (Beinart, 2014)
The Center for American Progress suggests that deporting most undocumented immigrants would drain $2.5 trillion" from the American economy over ten years (Burns, et al
Why did Boehner decide not to bring the bill up for a vote (even though polls showed it would likely pass easily)? Was it because he just didn't want to give Obama a victory? That's possible since Republicans generally have opposed nearly every effort Obama has put forward (including raising the minimum wage and making gun buyers submit to a background check at gun shows, which up to 95% of voters polled agreed with). Scott Clement writes that Boehner is greatly influenced by the Tea Party caucus in the House, and that the "pockets of opposition to immigration legislation are concentrated within the Republican party" (Clement, 2014)
Bush issued 291 executive orders; Obama so far has issued 193. Is Obama within his Constitutional Authority? If the President issues an executive order to "…grant work authorization to any unauthorized immigrant" he is legally using his Constitution authority; the Immigration and Nationality Act passed in 1986 and signed by President Reagan allows for this (Costa)
S. is "increased by a small, but clearly positive amount, because of immigration" (Davidson, 2013)
Hence, the executive orders he issues will likely include specific acts (like slowing down the deportation of illegals or allowing work permits for certain immigrants) rather than the entire bundle of benefits that would have come into play had the House passed the reform bill in 2013. Who are the political players and what is their position? The incoming majority leader Mitch McConnell and House Speaker John Boehner have "warned Obama that his acting alone on immigration would spoil chances for bipartisan agreement on other issues in the new GOP-controlled Congress" (O'Keefe, 2014)
