FATCA and Citizen-based Taxation: the way forwardPeter Dahlen
This document discusses issues with the US Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) and proposes a solution of residence-based taxation. FATCA has led to privacy violations, conflicts with international laws and treaties, and negative impacts on Americans abroad. While intergovernmental agreements and regulations have attempted to address issues, full implementation will still be complex and problematic. The document argues residence-based taxation, where citizens are only taxed based on where they reside, would solve all compliance and double taxation problems caused by citizenship-based taxation and FATCA. Residence-based taxation could even increase tax revenue while reducing costs and making the US and Americans abroad more competitive internationally.
This newsletter provides an update on recent events at the Virginia Journal of International Law. It discusses two successful speaking events featuring the former State Department Legal Adviser John Bellinger and an upcoming symposium. It highlights the nearly 100 staff members working at top international law firms and government agencies. It also spotlights some recent scholarly publications covering topics like investor-state dispute resolution, Islamic supremacy clauses, drone law, and the proposed EU Financial Transactions Tax.

Arizona passed SB1070 in 2010, allowing law enforcement to question anyone's immigration status during stops. This made Arizona ground zero for immigration enforcement. A US District Court struck down parts of SB1070 as preempting federal law. Other states were inspired to pass similar laws, but are awaiting the outcome of lawsuits before introducing their own. Illegal immigration frustration is also seen in Italy, where governments have cracked down by demanding proof of legal status on public transit and banning new ethnic food outlets in some city centers.
The USA Patriot Act was passed in 2001 as a response to the September 11th terrorist attacks. It made several controversial changes to surveillance laws that granted the government expanded powers to monitor communications and financial and medical records. While intended to help prevent terrorism, many felt certain provisions violated civil liberties and privacy protections. The act faced several legal challenges over its most controversial aspects and their application in cases of suspected but ultimately wrongful terrorism accusations.

The U.S. government affords undocumented immigrants with less regard than non-citizen terrorists captured in battlefields across the world. Enemy combatants are appointed counsel after being detained by U.S. armed forces abroad for terrorist activities. Undocumented immigrants in the United States, toiling often in sweat-shop like conditions, and all the while paying taxes, are not appointed a lawyer if placed in deportation proceedings, nor receive assistance from legal aid organizations.

The Patriot Act was passed by Congress and signed into law by President George W. Bush in October 2001 in response to the September 11th terrorist attacks. Its stated purpose was to strengthen national security by expanding the surveillance and investigative powers of law enforcement agencies. Some key provisions included allowing roving wiretaps, searches of business records like library records, and conducting surveillance of individuals suspected of terrorist activities. The act was controversial due to concerns that it weakened civil liberties and increased government intrusion into people's privacy.
Inside the bureaucracy of White AustraliaTim Sherratt
This document discusses the bureaucracy and policies around immigration in White Australia during the early 20th century. It references documents from the National Archives of Australia related to fingerprinting immigrants, particularly Chinese and Indian immigrants. It discusses the use of fingerprints to identify immigrants and references them being described as "wily" or facing "indignities". It also discusses prohibited immigrants, the dictation test used to evaluate immigrants, and legal cases related to determining who constitutes an Australian constituent.

The Patriot Act was passed in 2001 in response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks. It aimed to strengthen national security by expanding the surveillance and investigative powers of law enforcement. Specifically, it reduced restrictions on searching communications and financial records and broadened the definition of terrorism. While intended to prevent further attacks, the Patriot Act has been criticized for compromising civil liberties and privacy in its application of expanded government powers. Overall, the document discusses the security versus liberty debate in the context of the Patriot Act and its impact on balancing those priorities after 9/11.

The USA PATRIOT Act was passed 45 days after 9/11 to enhance domestic security and increase surveillance powers. It impacted laws around intelligence gathering, immigration, and more. While proponents argued it granted needed powers to fight terrorism, critics said it infringed on civil liberties. There have been ongoing legal challenges around its scope and application. As time has passed, there are calls to reevaluate the act and ensure powers are not abused.
SB 1070 allows Arizona law enforcement to question the immigration status of individuals stopped for possible state violations. The Arizona state legislature passed SB 1070 in 2010 and it was signed into law by Governor Jan Brewer. However, SB 1070 has failed to stop illegal immigration across Arizona's border with Mexico. Other states have introduced or announced their own versions of Arizona's SB 1070 immigration law, and local frustration with immigration is an issue seen beyond just the United States, such as in Milan, Italy where officials have begun targeting immigrants using public transportation.

The document provides an overview of United States immigration law and history. It discusses the major periods of immigration to the US from before 1776 to present day. It also summarizes the main categories of legal immigration including family-based immigration, employment-based immigration, marriage-based immigration, and the diversity lottery program. Key details are provided on eligibility requirements and annual visa limits for the different family and employment preference categories.
The document discusses how killing Hong Kong's free press will harm its economy. It notes that Hong Kong has traditionally had a relatively open media environment but that China's new national security law has led to an unprecedented crackdown. The law gives Chinese and Hong Kong governments expansive powers over media and the internet. As a result of this, independent journalists now face increasing risks. The arrest of Apple Daily executives and intensifying pressure on the newspaper shows how the law is being used to clamp down on dissent. Several countries have suspended extradition treaties with Hong Kong in response and the U.S. ended its preferential economic treatment, which will negatively impact Hong Kong's economy.
The Race Relations Act 1976 was established by the UK Parliament to prevent discrimination based on race, colour, nationality, ethnic or national origin in employment, education, provision of goods and services, and public functions.

This document discusses US immigration policy and its impact on human dignity. It argues that current policy prerequisites like education and work experience requirements disadvantage the poor and disenfranchised from other countries in the same way that Jim Crow laws disenfranchised blacks. While some argue for more restrictive policies, the document disagrees and notes that legal immigrants contribute greatly despite facing high fees, racism, and lack of rights protections once in the US.
This document discusses illegal immigration and border security. It covers several topics including the current situation of illegal immigration in the US, drug wars at the border, human trafficking, and gangs. It estimates there are around 7 million illegal immigrants currently living in the US. It also discusses efforts to curb drug trafficking and human smuggling across borders, and the roles of various government agencies in border enforcement and national security.
This argumentative essay discusses immigration policy in the United States. It argues that President Trump's decision to repeal DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) is unconstitutional because it violates the 14th Amendment and concepts of citizenship. The 14th Amendment defines that everyone within U.S. borders is protected, regardless of legal status. While some argue that DACA overstepped presidential powers, revoking it violates the rights of Dreamers who have lived in the U.S. most of their lives. The essay maintains that the U.S. was founded by immigrants and has long welcomed people from diverse backgrounds, so restricting protections for undocumented people goes against American principles.
The document discusses House immigration reform and provides details on AILA's position. It covers topics like legalization of undocumented immigrants, provisions in the Senate bill, what is happening with reform in the House, and border security. The summary focuses on three key points:
1) AILA supports a broad legalization plan that would allow the estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants currently living in the US to gain legal status and eventually citizenship. This is in the nation's security, economic, and humanitarian interests.
2) The Senate bill proposes stringent eligibility criteria for provisional legal status, including fines and English learning. It could take 10+ years for green cards and citizenship and would exclude national security threats.
The document discusses the debate around immigration reform in the United States. It provides background on illegal immigration and discusses proposals like the DREAM Act to provide paths to citizenship. The main topic is President Obama's planned executive action to reform immigration policy by expanding protections from deportation and work permits to millions of undocumented immigrants, including parents of citizens. Critics argue this oversteps executive authority and could encourage more illegal immigration.
This document provides an overview of the U.S. immigration reform movement. It discusses the debate around immigration and reasons some support/oppose immigration reform. Key points covered include increasing border security, reforming worksite enforcement policies, improving existing immigration programs, and creating a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants currently in the country. The document examines perspectives from both sides of the issue and outlines the Obama Administration's stance on comprehensive immigration reform.
The three documents provide differing perspectives on immigration to Canada in the 19th century. Susanna Moodie and Catharine Parr Traill had difficult initial experiences adjusting to life in Canada from England. In contrast, Mary Ann Shadd found opportunities and freedom in Canada as an African American escaping slavery in the United States. While Canada was promoted as a land of opportunity, the documents show immigration came at a personal cost and lifestyle changes for some.

Introduction
Immigration policy has been an ongoing subject of congressional attention for many years and a topic of concern for majority of U.S. citizens.50,000 slaves smuggled in the United States became the first "Illegal Aliens" when foreign slave trade became illegal in 1808. Prior to this period, the authors of the US Constitution gave full protection to foreign slave trade, which at that time was a major source of immigration. They prohibited interference with the trade for twenty years, and either the domestic slave trade or slavery itself was interfered with, after the trade was made illegal by Congress, at President Jefferson's invitation, when that period expired. (Daniels, 2004). Today, the United States is experiencing an influx of illegal immigration than any period in its history. It is estimated that 850,000 new illegal immigrants arrive in the country each year, with Mexico leading the pack with 59% of the country's total (Center for Immigration Studies, 2015).
This paper discusses the historical perspective of the time when the illegal immigration policy was implemented, highlighting the problem and urgency of the policy and analyzing the social, economic and political environments for the time the policy was implemented. It further critiques the policy for its effectiveness over time, as well as identifying emerging issues for further policy development.
Discuss the historical perspective of the time when the policy was implemented
The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA) captured Amnesty and enforcement as the two major facets of this legislation. One of two stipulations was necessary for an alien to be granted amnesty by IRCA. The applicants must have resided in the United States continually since January 1982 or had completed 90 days of agricultural work between May 1985 and May 1986. (Center for Immigration Studies, 2015). Approximately 3 million people, comprising 94% of all applicants, gained legal status through this initiative. The illegal Immigrant Reform Act and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRIRA)was passed by the Congress in 1996. The act beefed up border controls by ensuring the engagement of more Border Patrol and Immigration and Naturalization Service Agents. A border fence was planned for San Diego and severe repercussions were increased for persons entering the country illegally. With hopes of easing worksite enforcement, an automated employment verification pilot program was created. IIRIRA also allowed state police officers to enforce immigration law using the 287(g) program. The increased enforcement by IIRIRA did not bear much f ...
The document discusses several myths and facts related to undocumented immigration to the United States. It notes that undocumented immigrants are not criminals for being in the country without documentation, and provides statistics on the undocumented immigrant population in the US. It also discusses the economic impacts of immigration and costs associated with immigration enforcement policies.
1. Illegal Immigration Problems
The Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Act 2006 is really a United Kingdom Act of Parliament
made law on 30 March 200 It may be the fifth major piece of legislation relating to immigration and
asylum since 199. According towards the book, 1 227 QI Facts, Britons eat 97% of the world's baked
beans. The issue of whether there should be described as a US amnesty for illegal immigrants may
be a recurring and controversial supply of political debate over recent years.
Other lawyers charge by the hour or agree to a flat fee. Some countries face a dearth of resources
because of the rising population, while other people are blessed with ample resources but possess a
very thin population. The date of the application is called a priority date. It is considered "dicta", or
incidental "remark", not a ruling.
While there seems being a belief that many immigrants can't speak English, percentage wise it is a
very small group. The prosecution will attempt to attack your personal character. Choosing an
attorney is not a simple task, plus it is not one that should be taken lightly, either. The Act allows
immigration officers to request and acquire biometric data (such as fingerprints) from immigration
arrivals for your purposes of proving these are rightful holder of their passport or travel documents.

One of the facts about illegal migration is always that millions of individuals are immigrating using
illegal ways, without needing to be detected or stopped. This is the most famous category for
Canadian immigration. The government continues to have not produced an immigration bill.
