Dr. Anderson believes that the main cause for so much illegal immigration is economic. The United States has a capitalist economy. It needs, and thrives off, the blue-collar league. Many Americans don’t want to do those jobs that the immigrants will do. Therefore, those from other countries come over and are hired to do them. Migrants are taking, and doing, jobs in every state. In turn, Americans are benefiting from it (Silver, 2013).

Although there are systems to identify missing people such as NamUs (National Missing and Unidentified Persons System) why can’t Dr. Anderson and his team use these systems to identify the dead bodies?

NamUs is the National Institute of Justice’s National Missing and Unidentified Person’s System. It can be …show more content…

People are afraid of the laws in the United States and don’t want to get in trouble themselves. Also, the false names that are used can be a problem in identifying them. Family is unaware of the name that they are using. They also may be afraid that they may be arrested again if they had in the past (Silver, 2013).

Newspapers send out public notices for family to contact the paper if the person is known. It is not stated that the person has passed (Silver, 2013).

In 2001, there was a spike in the deaths of those that were attempting to cross the border. The way that the border was policed had a play in the amount of deaths. The Clinton strategic border plan came into effect. In it, it was to seal of safe migration. The amount of Border patrol agents was increased. And migration was attempted to flow to California and Texas. This would hopefully stop people from going through Arizona. This unfortunately was not the case (Silver, …show more content…

It was his picture that was posted and not his name. The tattoos that he had helped to prove that it was him. He passed away in the desert (Silver, 2013).

A couple days into the journey he was not feeling well and said his stomach was hurting. He was unable to walk anymore. The people that he was with stayed by his side and carried him. They helped him along for three or four days. They then had to leave him because he was too sick (Silver, 2013).

His body was flown back home to his family. Family and friends gathered and surrounded him. The tattoos on his chest were his daughters’ name (Silver,

1) Isaac Hourwich’s purpose in writing this book is to oppose the claims of the Immigration Commission as there are also many stereotypes of Immigrants created by Native born Americans and also challenge the findings of the Immigration Commission. Hourwich uses his economic aspects to explain that Immigrants do not cause the labor market to decline, decreases wages, and increase unemployment in the United States. Most of the native-born Americans fear that as the rate of Immigration increases, it might hurt the American wage-earners. Therefore, there is an assumption that most American workers made was that “undesirable” Immigrants should be out of the country and keep the American workers busy. (82)

It all starts with the United States passing the Immigration Act of 1907, which was a law that “required all immigrants entering the United States to pass through an official port of entry, submit themselves to inspection, and receive official authorization to legally enter the United States” (Hernandez pg 1). The United States quickly became a nation severely divided over the issues of illegal immigration. In May of 1924 the border patrol was created to enforce immigration laws and restrictions by preventing illegal border crossings and policing the borderland regions. Despite many possible subjects or ‘suspects’ of illegal immigration, such as Asians, Europeans, and prostitutes, the U.S border patrol almost exclusively focused on Mexican immigrant workers. Then in the 1940s, the focus of the U.S border patrol shifted to the southern border.

In the past, immigration was helpful to the economy when people encouraged it so that the it could become prosperous and bring in diversity and help needed. Today, many people are afraid of losing their jobs.

Immigration Reform Act In 1965, after Kennedy was assassinated, President Lyndon Johnson signed the Immigration and Naturalization Act. The Act allowed for everyone around the world an equal opportunity to immigrate to the U.S. Just prior to signing the Act, President Johnson said to the people "This bill that we will sign today is not a revolutionary bill. It does not affect the lives of millions, it will not reshape the structure of our daily lives or add importantly to either our wealth or our power. " The main purpose of the new law was to reunite families and allowed U.S. citizens and resident aliens to petition for their relatives to be allowed in the United States.

Assess the claim that Neo-Realism and Neo-Liberalism have far more similarities than differences. Neo-Realism and Neo-Liberalism, two of the most influential contemporary approaches to international relations, although similar in some respects, differ multitudinously. Thus, this essay will argue it is inaccurate to claim that Neo-Realism and Neo-Liberalism have far more similarities than differences. On the contrary, it will contend that there are, in an actual fact, more of the latter than there are of the former on, for example, the nature and consequences of anarchy, the achievement of international cooperation, and the role of international institutions. Moreover, it will be structured in such a way so as to corroborate this line of argument.
