Introduction Concept 1
The first concept is “Immigration and the Plenary Powers Doctrine” referenced from Governing Immigration Through Crime by Julie A. Dowling and Jonathan Xavier Inda in chapter three, “The Security Myth”. An overview of “Immigration and the Plenary Powers Doctrine”, the relationship between security and immigrants date back to a few years ago when Congress had the power to control immigration policies at the federal level. Immigration policies were not as important as they are now, there was not an urgency to manage immigration until 1875. It was not an urgency because at the time the only exception was the Enemy Alien Act of 1798 which gave the president the authority to detain, remove and restrict the freedom of anyone of a country that the United States declared war. …show more content…
According to Coulter (2013), in 2010 the top ten countries of the foreign born inmates were, Dominican Republic (1,314), Jamaica (849), Mexico (523), Guyana (289), El Salvador (245), Cuba (242), Trinidad and Tobago (237), Haiti (201), Ecuador (189) and Colombia (168) with the Dominican Republic being the highest number. If these inmates were more likely to commit more violent crimes, it is questionable if our immigration policies are working and if America wants to change their immigration policies based on the number of criminals are immigrants.
Based on the chapter, “The Security Myth” in Governing Immigration Through Crime, the immigration numbers are growing daily and approximately four million foreigners are allowed to be in the United States for a “temporary” period. However, in Adios America, illegal aliens are living in the shadows and American is allowing them to do so. As explained in chapter two on page five, it is felt that America needs to bring in people who will drive down wages and help the American people.
