As for the Sb 1070 implemented by our own Governor Janet Brewer, that was originally enacted to improve our economy, safeguard our neighborhood, and secure our borders was intended to put ease to our state; it caused some turmoil. Though, the success was strong in the sense of securing our border, and making those neighborhoods a little safer to live in, causing some economic downfalls to hit our state; by these entrepreneurs closing shop and move back to Mexico in fear of deportation. Furthermore, it took way for our state revenue, for we no longer had state and federal funds flowing into our coffers for these immigrants being here; instead we were in jeopardy of losing this state and federal funding.
Overall, Bloom’s constituents will receive AB-2844 well. Assemblyman Bloom represents the 50th Assembly District of the State of California. The amended version of AB-2844 does not affect his constituents directly in the way that a bill on road repair would. This means that his constituents will not see the effects of this bill in their daily lives and thus are less likely to have strong opinions on it. Additionally, the amount of money this bill proposes to spend is insignificant when taking into consideration California’s budget, making the fiscal aspect of the bill a non-issue. Furthermore, the current form of this bill prevents public institutions from conducting business with entities that discriminate based on nationality. Majority of
The students who attend P.S.107x come from families who face economic challenges. The rate of poverty in this neighborhood is higher than other sections of the Bronx. Roughly half the population lives below the poverty line and receives public assistance. The median income for a family according to city data is estimated around 35,000 dollars. The neighborhood contains one of the highest concentrations of New York City public housing in the Bronx. The students who attend P.S. 84 come from a drastically different background. The median income for a family according to city data is 95,000 dollars. It is known for being the home to the intellectual and artistic group. Over 60% of the population is
In the South Carolina legislature, that has been a main topic as well. The South Carolina legislators have been in a tough debate over whether to “establish an illegal immigration enforcement unit within the state law enforcement division.” (scstatehouse.gov) If this bill did not pass then that would give less supervision over the issue of undocumented aliens in South Carolina. It is estimated that there are over 70,000 undocumented immigrants living in South Carolina alone. This ultimately costs the South Carolina taxpayer over $390,000,000.00 (newsmax.com). The burden put on the tax payer is ultimately too much to leave upon the South Carolina residents as South Carolina is one of the poorer states in the nation. The illegal immigration problem that is ruining the state leaves less jobs in the market available for South Carolinians. Ultimately, when the South Carolina legislators voted on the bill it passed with a vote of 89-5 (scstatehouse.gov). With this bill passing that makes South Carolina more conscientious about the illegal immigration problem. The immigration unit established in the state enforcement unit will draw closer ties to the citizens of South Carolina. The people will not have to rely on the government for involvement, rather it will draw closer ties to the people allowing more citizen involvement. Through this bill, Derham has fulfilled his promise of listening to the people of South Carolina and dealing with the illegal immigration
The Arizona state legislature passed into law S.B 1070, which was intended to address issues related to illegal aliens in the state. The law made it a crime for illegal aliens to be in Arizona, without legal documents, it also authorized local and state law enforcement to enforce federal laws and prohibited the hiring, sheltering and transportation of illegal aliens. The legislation initiated constitutional concerns over violation of civil rights and was considered as encouraging racial profiling. There were also demonstrations against the legalization. The department of justice sough to stop
There have been many women throughout our history who have made a strong impact on the people of Arizona. In the 2000’s, an important woman who has made a great impact on Arizona is none other than Governor Jan Brewer. The positions she’s held and contributions she has made to Arizona are quite significant. Her positions held range from a member of the Arizona House of Representatives to becoming the Governor of Arizona. In addition, her stance on issues such as: gay rights, judicial appointments, and the Affordable Care Act are just a few examples of her contributions to Arizona.
Broad powers are being given to police officers and law enforcement bodies to detain and question people about their immigrant status - and it is obvious the effects of this will be greater numbers of detainings of brown-skinned Latinx people. Further, SB4 runs the risk of propagating the fear that Latinx immigrants that come to Texas come by crossing the border - and come with illegal or violent intentions - when in fact most undocumented immigrants in the United States are here because of overstayed Visas. Likewise, the bill comes at a time when the number of undocumented immigrants is actually declining.
The Arizona SB 1070 is a law that requires all aliens over the age of 14 who remain in the united states for longer than 30 days to register with the US government, and to have registration documents in their possession at all times. The Arizona law also made it illegal to be in the state of Arizona without the required documents. Some people don't agree with law they say that there is too many people that can't get the legal documents they need. Then there are some people that say the Arizona law is a good law to follow. Such as the law provides more security to the surrounding environment. In my opinion the Arizona state law is a good law to live and follow by for many different reasons.
This law was sending a very strong message to all of the illegal aliens living in Arizona. The SB-1070 was written deliberately with aggressive measures intended to promote to the estimated 460,000 illegal aliens to go home (About, 2011). The issue with some parts of the bill was that it was racially profiling, and it promoted discrimination against mainly immigrants. The federal judge also stopped the section of the law that made it a crime for any for any foreign resident living in the state of Arizona to carry immigration paperwork at all times. In addition, the judge also stopped the part where it would make it a crime for any illegal or foreign resident living in the state of Arizona to solicit, perform, or apply for work. This gave illegal aliens living in state of Arizona a big relief to know that those main parts of the bill were stopped, giving them the advantage to continue to move forward with their lives instead of worrying about getting deported.
The SB 1070 was effective in reducing the presence of undocumented aliens from 30 to 70 percent in the state of Arizona. Immigrants were leaving the state of Arizona due to the fear of deportation, lack of support from social services, and restriction in working due to the sanctions for hiring illegal aliens.
The writer, Maribel Garcia Ochoa, begins her piece with making the claim that because of Donald Trump being elected, California shaped this “defensive” attitude. Then Ochoa supported her claim with the evidence of the immigration policy issue. In addition, she believes that, “SB 54 would prevent the use of state and local resources to assist federal deportation efforts.” In fact, SB 54 has been recently amended in Senate on March 6, 2017. Another claim that Ochoa made was that California’s immigration policy was not completely for Asians it was also towards Mexicans. Ochoa used statistics, “Early into the ’30s, over 15 million Americans, about one quarter of all wage earners, were unemployed,” to show that once Mexicans entered California the unemployment rate of whites skyrocketed.
According to Fox News, in the 2017 Texas Legislature session, Texas Governor Greg Abbott stated he expected the Texas Legislature to pass Senate Bill 4, requiring local governments to enforce migrant detainees at local jails and withhold state grants if they do not comply. Thus, sanctuary cities within the State are no longer permitted without financial repercussion. Senator Charles Perry, the bill’s sponsor, stated “President-elect Donald Trump’s election made it clear that immigration must be a priority. Thus, local policies cannot be allowed to undercut state and federal policies (Ward 2017).” Although there is a concern that illegal immigrants commit crimes and take
What i think about people building the border wall for the immigrants is that they should give another chance for taking other people's jobs and also they don't need to be kicked back to their counties with nothing because they become another isis and their would be more police getting killed and also that more riots.”Supporters of SB4 doubt that it will nudge many Latinos to vote Democratic. The experience of California, where the Hispanic vote swung firmly Democratic around 1994, suggests they may be wrong (see chart). Texas is a Republican state in part because the local party has won more support from Latino voters there than elsewhere. Those voters, however, have supported Republicans who supported them. If the party has changed, they
Back in 2007 there were several concerns over immigration as a whole and exploding proportions of illegal immigrants crossing the border in the Arizona area. Arizona attempted to resolve the influx of people across the border by imposing heavy fines on employers hiring illegal immigrants. At that time in Arizona there was a democratic governor Janet Napolitano that continually vetoed the Arizona’s legislature attempt to reduce illegal immigration. In 2009 the state replaced the Democratic governor with a Republican governor Jan Brewer who was supportive of reforms for immigration in Arizona. In 2010 the immigration problem was so sever that Arizona passed legislation allowing the state to enforce federal law for identification of legal immigration into the United States. This sparked a nation wide discussion on illegal immigration and immigration reform.
California citizens consist of 39% Latino, 38.8 White, 5.8% Black, 13.0% Asian, and less than 1% Native American (Lecture 2, California Diversity). It is stated that according to California Governor Jerry Brown’s new state budget, Latinos are projected to become the largest single racial/ethnic group in the state by March of 2014 (Hugo Lopez, Mark. 2014). The large increase in the Latino population over recent years has become such a huge media topic in today’s news because people think that America’s immigration policy and laws are too loose and are allowing people to cross the border illegally. Our current president Donald Trump believes that our immigration laws are horrible and allows criminals to cross the border into the U.S. which is making Americans lose jobs and cause crime rates to rise. He stated various time that he wants to make laws that would prohibit such people from coming over to America. This isn’t the first time that diversity has affected policies that the government has made. An example of this would be Proposition 187, the "Save our State" initiative. This initiative banned public services such as education and emergency care to undocumented peoples in California (Lecture 2, California
The influx of illegal immigrants into the United States affects every level of government in a significant way. Although the actual effects of illegal immigration are hotly debated, it remains the government's difficult duty to balance the massive amounts of data and diversity of public opinion in order to best accommodate the overall will of its people. In recent times we have witnessed a vast disconnect between what constituents want for their state versus what the nation as a whole considers Constitutionally justifiable. And therefore the necessity of a federal system, wherein the national government is playing a virtual tug-of-war with its states, comes to light. Using the issue of
