US Immigration Presentation to the Senior Class of Ardsley High School, NY on October 31, 2007 by Jim Russell, Ph.D., Chairman of Westchester-Rockland Citizens for Immigration Control.
Us Immigration Policy Presentation At Ardsley Hs 2009russell2008
I used this slide show during my presentation on the immigration issue at Ardsley High School in Westchester County, New York. I was a congressional candidate in 2008 and supported the control of illegal immigration control and the reduction of legal immigration. My congressional website is www.RussellforCongress.com.
The document discusses several topics related to immigration in the United States, including:
1) Studies showing that most second and third generation immigrants become fluent English speakers, and that undocumented immigrants pay billions in taxes each year including to Social Security.
2) Research indicating that immigrant communities do not increase crime rates, and that on average immigrants pay more in taxes than they receive in services.
3) Statistics on the number of legal permanent residents in the US from 2001-2010, with the largest numbers coming from Asia, North America, and South America.
This document is Chelsea Unold's final paper for her ACM 615 class. It discusses the history of U.S. immigration policy and Obama's recent changes to policy. The paper argues that immigration has boosted the economies of decaying cities through cultural community building and tourism. It provides examples from Newark, NJ to support this, describing how the city turned itself around economically due to immigration despite high poverty rates. The paper aims to prove its thesis that immigration improves local economies.
Declining immigration and the weak economy have slowed population growth among Hispanics and Asians in the U.S. unexpectedly. The Census Bureau now estimates that minorities will not become the majority in the U.S. until at least 10 years later than previously projected, around 2052. Fewer Hispanics are migrating to new destinations in the Southeast and are staying in traditional gateway states like California. The political implications are significant as minority groups gain influence and push for immigration reform.
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.
Right-wing billionaires such as Robert Mercer are attacking the New York State Constitution to gain more power and tax breaks for themselves at the expense of working families. Mercer created the group "Reclaim New York" to push for a constitutional convention and rewrite the constitution to benefit billionaire interests by cutting taxes, privatizing schools, allowing fracking, and reducing environmental and worker protections. Voters will decide in November 2017 whether to hold a constitutional convention, and the document argues that people should vote no to block these billionaire efforts to rig the system for their own benefit.

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.
There are few subjects that evoke as much emotion as immigration reform, especially since future laws could result in a path to citizenship for over 11 million illegal immigrants.
When analyzed from the vantage point of information derived from reputable, nonpartisan sources (the Pew Research Center, USDA, United States Department of Labor, and leading economists and researchers) then one can obtain a clearer view of this muddled discussion. The truth of the matter is that illegal immigrants are important to the U.S. economy, as well as vital to certain industries like agriculture.

The collective wealth of New York’s 120 billionaires jumped by $156.3 billion, or 30 percent, between mid-March of last year and this year, according to new data from Americans for Tax Fairness and the Institute for Policy Studies compiled by the Strong Economy For All Coalition, the Fund Excluded Workers Coalition and the Invest in Our New York campaign.
The $156.3 billion in pandemic profits of the state’s richest residents could cover the state’s projected $15 billion budget gap ten times over and still leave them wealthier than they were when the pandemic hit a year ago.
The document discusses immigration in San Angelo, Texas. It notes that while immigrants make up 7% of the population and contribute significantly to the local economy and labor force, they often remain "invisible" due to language barriers and fears of deportation. Despite facing challenges like low wages and poverty, immigrant households rely less on public assistance than native-born households. The document calls for the community to embrace immigrant inclusion and ensure access to legal resources and integration services.
This document outlines the agenda and activities of an organization called "Hedge Clippers" that is fighting against the destructive agenda of hedge fund billionaires. The organization produces reports exposing how hedge funds hurt the economy, corrupt government, and exacerbate inequality. It advocates for closing tax loopholes that benefit hedge funds, raising taxes on the wealthy, and pushing for divestment from hedge funds. Through research, protests, and state-level lobbying, Hedge Clippers aims to generate billions in new tax revenue from hedge funds that can be invested in schools, jobs, and communities.
The document discusses issues facing rural women in South Africa, particularly related to lack of land ownership and resulting poverty. It provides the following key details:
- Over 79% of South Africans live in poverty as most land remains under white ownership despite the end of apartheid. Rural women face food insecurity as they are unable to produce enough food.
- The Rural Women's Movement is working to address these issues and advocate for rural women's rights. They oppose legislation like the Traditional Courts Bill that would infringe on women's rights.
- A Moringa tree project aims to provide rural women in South Coast with training and tools to cultivate Moringa trees to generate income and combat malnutrition. If successful

The human rights case against illegal immigrationdispo17
Much is said regarding human rights of illegal immigrants and refugees but no consideration is given to the violation these two issues impose on legal citizens of the countries where these people arrive, in most cases they are imposed on citizens by their governments or as in the EU by Brussels, unelected officials who set macro rules.
This document provides a brief history of U.S. immigration laws and policies from 1790 to present day. It discusses the establishment of immigration quotas and restrictions over time. It also outlines current legal immigration pathways including family-based, employment-based, and humanitarian categories. Additionally, it presents arguments for and against granting permanent residency status to illegal immigrants currently living in the U.S. While some argue it would benefit the economy and integration, most argue it would encourage more illegal immigration and strain social services. There is no clear consensus on the issue.
The 2010 Illinois Senate election features Democrat Alexi Giannoulias and Republican Mark Kirk seeking to fill President Obama's former Senate seat. Giannoulias is the current Illinois State Treasurer and was endorsed by Obama. Kirk is a member of the U.S. House representing Illinois' 10th district. The race has been close and contentious, focusing more on personal histories than issues. Both candidates are attacking the other's trustworthiness as the campaign has become increasingly hostile in a key race that could impact Senate control.

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.
The document provides background information on Haiti's history, economy, foreign relations, and U.S. aid. Haiti gained independence in 1804 but has been plagued by poverty, political instability, and natural disasters. Two-thirds of Haitians depend on subsistence farming and most live below the poverty line. The U.S. has provided significant economic and disaster relief aid to Haiti over the years but faces challenges such as corruption. While more aid could boost development, some argue Haiti's governance issues limit effectiveness.
The document discusses various perspectives on immigration in the United States. It outlines the author's view that immigration builds culture and the economy. Research uncovered differing viewpoints, from open immigration to deporting all illegal immigrants. Early immigration was unregulated, but increased regulation followed WWI as immigrants were screened. Current debates center around border security, citizenship paths, and impacts on jobs and the environment. The document presents arguments from both anti-immigration and pro-immigration groups and proposes potential policy solutions and reforms.
This document opposes war with Syria and argues that war only benefits plutocratic/corporate interests, not the people of the US or Syria. It claims the US government is controlled by plutocrats rather than serving the people, and that President Obama approved costly bailouts for banks responsible for the financial crisis rather than helping the working class. The document suggests one reason for Obama's threat of war is competition between the US and Russian plutocracies for global economic control, and that politics is driven more by irrational impulses than reason when controlled by plutocratic interests.
Human trafficking is a form of modern-day slavery where people are exploited for commercial gain. An estimated 27 million people are enslaved worldwide. Women and children make up the majority of victims, with 70% trafficked into commercial sexual exploitation. Trafficking generates huge profits as victims can be resold multiple times. Victims experience physical and psychological abuse, debt bondage, isolation, threats and poor living/working conditions. Efforts are needed to reduce vulnerability, demand, and protect victims' rights through increased awareness, social services, and legal protections. Major religions view trafficking as morally wrong because it degrades human dignity.
Immigration Nation? Raids, Detentions and Deportations in Post-9/11 AmericaTanya Golash Boza
This document discusses post-9/11 immigration policy in the United States from a human rights perspective. It notes that raids, detentions, and deportations have increased dramatically, with over 400,000 deportations in 2010 alone. Most deportees are from Latin America, despite many having families in the US. The document argues for immigration reform that aligns with international human rights standards and considers factors like family unity, due process, and the realities of globalization when crafting policy. A three-step approach is proposed: implement humane policies, pave the way for legalization, and align entry policies with global economic and social ties.
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.

The document discusses the history of immigration to the United States over the past 400 years. It describes how immigrants from Europe laid the foundations for early colonial settlements and how subsequent waves brought Germans, Irish, Italians and others fleeing conflict. While immigration has long been a part of American history, the document notes there have also been periods of anti-immigrant sentiment and laws passed restricting immigration from certain countries. It discusses the contemporary debates around immigration, including arguments that immigrants are both economic and fiscal burdens, as well as contributions to the economy.
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.
The document analyzes the scope and cultural impact of mass incarceration in the United States. It notes that the U.S. has the largest incarcerated population in the world, with disproportionate rates of imprisonment for African Americans. Upon release, former prisoners often struggle with lack of job prospects, housing, and civil rights disenfranchisement. The document calls for comprehensive reform addressing both policy and programs to help with prisoner reentry and reduce recidivism rates.

The document discusses three major demographic trends that will impact the United States population over the coming decades: 1) An aging population, as the large Baby Boomer generation moves into retirement, will strain social security and health care systems; 2) Immigration and racial/ethnic diversity will continue to increase, altering the population mix; 3) Rapid urbanization will concentrate more of the population in cities and exacerbate social problems in those areas, increasing justice system costs. These trends will present significant economic and social challenges for American society.
This document discusses Mexican migration to the United States, providing data and analyzing the consequences. It notes that restrictive US immigration policies backfired and instead of reducing the flow of Mexican migrants, they doubled it. As a result of these policies, Mexican immigration transformed from temporary work to permanent family settlement in the US. By 2008, there were an estimated 7 million undocumented and 12 million foreign-born Mexicans living in the US. The document examines several social and economic impacts of this large Mexican population in the US.
This document discusses illegal immigration and the treatment of illegal immigrants in the workplace. It notes that while there are approximately 8 million unauthorized immigrants in the US workforce, they often face abusive working conditions due to language barriers, isolation, and being targeted for their race and gender. Despite laws against harassment and discrimination, illegal immigrants regularly experience physical and verbal abuse at work. Employers are also able to exploit these workers and deny their legal rights and remedies by asserting that claims are invalid due to their immigration status. Efforts are needed to protect the basic rights of illegal immigrants and establish responsibilities for companies employing unauthorized workers.
This document provides an overview of U.S. immigration history and policy. It discusses the early waves of immigration to the U.S. from the 17th century through the early 20th century. It also outlines the various pieces of legislation passed in response to public anxiety about immigration, such as quotas and restrictions. Additionally, it notes trends in the modern era such as increased unauthorized immigration and new destinations beyond traditional gateway states. The document aims to educate by debunking common myths and calling for an ethical and objective discussion of immigration reform.
The document provides a history of major US immigration policies and legislation from 1790 to present day. It outlines significant dates and details of laws that established immigration quotas, restricted certain ethnic groups, created a formal immigration system, and addressed illegal immigration. It also summarizes the current categories and goals of legal US immigration, which prioritizes family reunification, employment, and diversity.
The document discusses several key issues around immigration reform in the United States. It notes that there are currently around 11 million undocumented immigrants in the country. Immigrants often leave their home countries due to lack of food, unemployment, poverty, or low wages. The document also discusses the DREAM Act, which would provide a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants who came to the US as minors, go to college or serve in the military. However, some argue it amounts to amnesty. The document calls for reforms such as a temporary worker program and penalties for illegal border crossings and hiring undocumented workers. It also discusses concerns that immigrants are overusing welfare systems and family reunification laws.
