The document discusses the threats to US homeland security in 2011, including jihadist groups like al Qaeda, lone wolves, Mexican drug cartels, and domestic extremism. It identifies the Mexican drug war and potential corruption of US law enforcement as the greatest dangers. Key challenges are the 10th anniversary of 9/11, threats from Yemen and Somalia, continuing violence in Mexico, and uncertainty around how the new Congress will approach homeland security issues like border security and immigration. Vigilance and awareness are emphasized as important defenses.

Illegal Immigration
Illegal immigration is defined as entering or remaining in a country unlawfully by violating immigration laws. The major causes of illegal immigration include war, poverty, family reunification, and population growth. In 2005, illegal immigration became a major issue in the US as over 10 million illegal immigrants lived in the country and the population was growing by 700,000 each year without a fix to the immigration policy.
Illegal Immigration
Illegal immigration is on the rise as many people seek better lives elsewhere. Common causes include poverty, poor economic opportunities, family reunification, and fleeing conflict or persecution. Consequences can include exploitation through slavery and human trafficking, as well as deaths during dangerous border crossings. Proposed solutions involve increasing border security, reforming immigration policies, creating jobs in source countries through economic development and debt relief, and promoting peace to stabilize conflict-ridden nations. The best long-term solution is international cooperation to address the root causes that compel people to embark on illegal and often deadly migration journeys.
Inmigracion
The document discusses illegal immigration, including its causes, consequences, and potential solutions. It notes that illegal immigration is driven mainly by work opportunities and family reunification. Potential positive consequences include contributing to the economy through work and consumption, while negatives include exploitation of workers and separation of families. Proposed solutions focus on strictly enforcing existing immigration laws through border security, penalties for hiring undocumented immigrants, and limiting birthright citizenship.
Migration
The document discusses the topic of migration between Mexico and the United States. It outlines both "push" factors like violence and poverty in Mexico that encourage emigration, as well as "pull" factors like jobs and a higher standard of living in the US that attract immigrants. Over 12 million Mexican immigrants currently live in the US, both legally and illegally. This large-scale migration affects both countries economically, socially, and politically.
Somali civil war
The Somali Civil War began in 1991 after the overthrow of dictator Siad Barre's regime. Barre had ruled Somalia since 1969 with Soviet support but faced increasing opposition after launching unsuccessful invasions of Ethiopia in the 1970s and 1980s. As clan opposition grew, Barre responded with violent crackdowns against real or imagined threats, exacerbating conflict along clan lines. After Barre's fall, Somalia lacked a stable national government for over 20 years as different clans fought for control of resources, leading to hundreds of thousands of deaths. The civil war continued into the 2000s with shifting alliances and the rise of militant groups like al-Shabaab.
Migration
This document discusses migration and refugees. It defines migration as movement between locations, such as from poor to rich states. Millions migrate illegally from the global South to the North for economic, political, educational, or religious reasons or to escape deprivation or displacement. Immigration creates winners and losers as immigrants provide cheap labor but may compete with local workers, though they generally benefit the host economy. States try to limit immigration due to fears over integration and illegal immigration. International law distinguishes migrants seeking economic opportunities from refugees fleeing war, disasters, or persecution who are entitled to asylum or refugee camps. Migration flows occur globally, such as within regions like South Asia or from regions like West Africa to other areas.
Illegal immigration
This document discusses illegal immigration between Kurdistan and Iraq. It notes that illegal immigration occurs when people do not follow the proper guidelines and paperwork required to legally immigrate. People often illegally immigrate for economic reasons, moving from poorer countries to richer ones in search of better jobs and money. However, some illegal immigrants are misled by fraudulent agents who take money in exchange for fake documents and incorrect information, resulting in illegal status. The consequences of illegal immigration include jail, deportation, and fines. To curb illegal immigration, governments have increased cooperation and information sharing between countries.

There are over 205 million migrants globally, with tens of millions undocumented and around 20 million refugees. Some developing countries argue that migration is a sharing of human resources internationally and that remittances from migrants help support their economies, as seen in countries like the Philippines where over 3,000 people leave daily for work abroad. More than 250,000 migrants also enter Canada annually through temporary work programs to fill jobs in various industries.
Statement on western diplomats political interference 2 1
Western diplomats issued a statement calling on NASA to recognize Uhuru Kenyatta's presidency, despite egregious abuses of power since the election. Kenyans are outraged and see these diplomats as supporting oppressive kleptocrats as in the past. Uhuru has shut down TV stations and defied court orders, deporting a citizen, while plundering billions with impunity. The diplomats are complicit for financially supporting the corrupt IEBC and turning a blind eye to its faults. Their interests are seen as political and commercial, supporting deals for their countries' companies. NASA will not acquiesce to dictatorship and sees these diplomats as backing the puppet regime on the wrong side of history.

IS 491 Thesis Presentation
This document discusses Mexican immigration to the United States and how immigrants have been used as scapegoats. After September 11th, politicians called for increased border security and the Department of Homeland Security was established to regulate immigration, focusing these efforts on the southern border. The militarization of the border increased under President Bush, with a goal of removing all undocumented immigrants. Private prison companies profit from immigrant detention. Anti-immigration laws like Arizona's SB1070 have costly economic impacts without addressing the underlying issues.

Border and Transportation Security (BTS) receives approximately 43% of total homeland security funding according to the FY2011 budget request, with the largest portions going to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and its agencies. Within DHS, 15% of its budget is spent on information technology. While BTS remains important, it has lowered in priority compared to issues like the economy and healthcare. BTS is highly dependent on employment but funding growth has flattened, so there is a need for capabilities to do more with fewer people through automation and dual-purpose, commercialized technologies.

National sovereignty faces new challenges in the information age from both physical and cyber borders. As ideas, people, and materials can now spread across borders with alarming speed through both physical and cyber means, countries must understand and protect cyberspace as part of securing their sovereignty. With many malicious actors using similar techniques to carry out attacks with potentially devastating worst case scenarios and hard to predict consequences, a new framework is needed for national security and border protection in the new digital landscape.

FIGHTING Terrorism IN EAST AFRICA & THE HORN
The U.S. counterterrorism efforts in East Africa and the Horn of Africa do not yet adequately address the threat, despite six years having passed since the bombings of the U.S. embassies in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam. The region faces instability, porous borders, ties to extremist elements in the Arabian Peninsula, and endemic poverty and corruption - all of which allow terrorist groups to operate. While U.S. counterterrorism programs in the region have strengthened security at embassies and cooperation with countries, the efforts are not long-term or comprehensive enough to counter the threat of Islamic fundamentalism and al-Qaeda in the unstable political and security environment of East Africa.

Abstract
Fighting Organized Crime and Terrorism in the US
Organized crime and terrorism are some of the leading security threats for America and its people in the 21st century. The two types of criminal acts are so rampant that, besides national security, they also threaten multiple aspects of the United States including the economy, politics and other interests. Having assumed an increasingly transnational nature due to the expansion of the internet and more open borders, organized crime is perpetrated by local and foreign criminals who endanger the US both within and beyond its frontiers (Finklea, 2010). Motivated by profit, organized crime can potentially jeopardize the economy through illegal activities like tax evasion. Specifically, tax evasion culminates in a loss of tax revenue for federal as well as state governments. Terrorism, although motivated by ideology, has the same effects as organized crime. However, loss of lives and destruction of property is synonymous with it. It is also important to note that terrorists can partner with organized criminal networks to obtain financial support to conduct their terrorist operations across America ((Finklea, 2010). The need for America to use all that is within its capacity to deal with such threats is paramount. Using examples of a criminal organization currently operating in the US and an act of terrorism to have been perpetrated in America, this paper discusses why it is important for the US government to focus the bulk of its law enforcement resources on fighting organized crime, or counter-terrorism.

1. Organized Crime in America
Organized crime can be defined as the illegitimate activities performed my members of a highly organized and meticulous gang or association that involves acts such as supplying illegal products, narcotics, racketeering, gambling, pornography, and loan sharking among others (Finklea, 2010). According to Finklea (2010), some of the characteristics of organized crime include restricted membership, a structure, illegal enterprises, threats of employing violence and using violence, continuity, penetrating legal businesses, and corruption among others. Indeed, with such attributes, limited law enforcement resources would not accomplish much in the fight against such criminal groups.
The origin of a group (s) of people working collaboratively to make profit through unlawful and often violent means can be traced the street gangs dominating the American urban centers in the late 1800s and early 1900s (History.com, 2019). Notorious gangs like the Italian Mafia and Forty Thieves in New York came into being as thousands of immigrants from Europe, specif.

This document summarizes information about terrorism from various sources. It discusses the history of terrorism dating back to ancient times, how terrorism has been used by different groups over the centuries for political goals. The document also outlines different types of terrorism such as domestic, international, and methods using firearms, explosives, biological, chemical and nuclear materials.
