12-5-18 // Packet Notes

Today our Homework was to record packet notes in our Blog:
            The Packet started out comparing the USA to other Countries where immigrants migrate too, the United Nations or UN classifies Countries according to four types of immigration policies
1. maintain the current level of immigration
2. increase the level
3. decrease the level
4. no type
According to the United Nations 21 countries seek more immigrants (2), 32 want fewer (3), 116 wish to maintain the level (1) and 25 do not have a policy (4).
Those who enter a country without proper document or official document, they are considered unauthorized immigrants. 
Here are some statistics about Immigration in the United States.
     There are 11.3 unauthorized immigrants in the USA and 61% of them have been in the USA for 10 or more years. 8 million of these "illegal immigrants" have jobs. So this raises questions if they are taking jobs from Americans.
     The largest number of Immigrants are coming from Mexico. And as of 1990 the Global Quota was 700,000 (Quota is the the number of people who can immigrant in a year)
A problem that raises many questions is the fact that countries take more people through immigrants if there skilled workers, this is called Brain Drain. 
Chain Migration: is the migration of people to a specific location because relatives or members of the same nationality previously migrated there.
          Here are some of the Migration Policy Disputes that Mexico and the United States

•                 Many blame Immigrants for taking the US citizens jobs 
•                 Americans are found to frame legals are illegals and being openly racist
•                 The way we run our border patrol and asylum is often questioned. 

Arizona's 2010 Law: foreigners are required to carry at all times a document proving they are legal immigrants
Sanctuary State: a movement in certain states to not enact harsh anti-immigration laws.
