Donald Trump Executive Order Case Study
EXECUTIVE ORDER
Donald Trump did not change the existing immigration policy. He signed an Executive Order threatening to withhold Federal funding in order to force sanctuary cities to comply with the existing law.
Trump’s Executive Order requires the Director of Homeland Security to compile a weekly list of all crimes committed by non-citizen. Depending on the severity of the crime, the order in which they should be deported was decided. The Order calls for a list of all undocumented immigrants that have been arrested, regardless of the fact that they have only been charged, and not convicted. His plan does not only affect the undocumented, but anyone who is not a citizen can be deported for a minor offence. Cities and counties in the United …show more content…
(Rahman, Shakeer) President Trump plans to hire 10,000 Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers and add 5,000 agents to Customs and Border Protection. The Department of Homeland Security is already understaffed. Hiring this many agents at one time could be difficult. Candidates must pass a written exam, a physical exam, a drug test, a background check, and hold a 4-year college degree. The hiring process takes over 200 days. The Commissioner of Homeland Security reported that although many apply for these positions only about 60% of the applicants bother to make an appointment to take the entrance exam. The fear is that these agents will be hired without the proper training. (Horowitz, Julia) The budget passed by Congress just this week did give the President $1.5 billion to secure the borders of the United States, but none of this money is earmarked to hire ICE agents (or a wall) (Giles, …show more content…
The attorney for the city, Dennis Herrera announced the lawsuit explaining, “The President’s executive order is not only unconstitutional, it’s un-American. San Francisco is poised to lose about $1.2 billion if Trump succeeds with his order. The lawsuit contends that the Federal government has no authority to require local law enforcement to act as their agents”. (Madhani, Aamer) On February 3, 2017, the California county of Santa Clara also sued asserting “The President’s order is an unconstitutional attempt to coerce state and local governments into assisting with mass deportation.” They argue that only Congress has the ability to change the conditions to federal spending. Santa Clara could lose about 35% of their total yearly budget. (NEWS RELEASE: Santa Clara County Sues

    Executive Order 9981 Analysis

    After the war, President Harry Truman, Roosevelt's successor, was faced with countless discrimination issues and problems; many directly caused by the issuance of Executive Order 8802 in 1941. To alleviate the stress and to appease the general consensus on discriminatory issues, Truman allowed Congress to terminate the FEPC; Fair Employment Practices Commission issued by his predecessor Roosevelt “directing that blacks be accepted into job-training programs” (Yon, NP). Shortly following this decision, in 1946, Truman formed a panel to serve as the President's Commission on Civil Rights. The new appointed panel duties included establishing "more adequate means and…

    9/11 Case Study

    The current immigration policy is seriously treated as a national security issue due to the rise of illegal immigration, drugs smuggling, and terrorism in recent years (Andreas, 2009). Preventing another 9/11 has been at the top of the agenda in all recent presidential administrations, which has made the immigration policy to fall around this issue by creating new anti-terrorism programs and initiatives that restricts the admission of person into the United States (Andreas, 2009). Before 9/11 immigration in the United States was a “Low Politics” issue meaning that it was not a top priority for presidents, government and state officials (Andreas, 2009). During that time the United States and Mexican border was just a mangle chain like fence with no border patrol officers and anybody could leave and enter the U.S. as they pleased without going through any border searches (Andreas, 2009). After 9/11 the issue of immigration went from “Low Politics” to “High Politics” to the extent that many presidential campaigns have run promising that immigration will be one…

    Texas Legislature Assignment

    The H.B. 12, the “sanctuary cities” bill, by State Rep. Burt Solomons (filed on February 16, 2011), is “relating to the enforcement of state and federal laws governing immigration by certain governmental entities” (Solomons). Thus, “prohibit[ing] cities, counties and other governmental entities or special districts from adopting a policy that prevents law enforcement from asking persons lawfully detained or arrested if they are in the country legally” (Aguilar). Along with many coauthors to H.B.12, its sponsor, Senator Tommy Williams, R-The Woodlands, continues to support the “sanctuary cities” bill—“even if he considers his own homeland security legislation a higher priority” (Aguilar).…

    (3) Gov. Perry’s rhetoric on immigration policies has not matched up to the results. During this last legislative session, Gov. Perry publicly supported a bill that would have prohibited Texas cities from being Sanctuary Cities for illegal immigrants. Such a bill would have required local law enforcement officers to work more closely with immigration officials. However, the Session ended without that bill being passed.…

    The Pros And Cons Of Executive Order

    US President Donald Trump signed an executive order on January 27, 2017. The order bans citizens of seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the US for at least 90 days. The order also suspended refugee admission program of the US for 120 days. US officials added that the order is only a first step toward a wider ban, which is aimed at protecting the US from terrorist attacks. The executive order is in line with President Trump’s campaign pledge. He promised a total and complete shutdown of Muslim immigration during his presidential campaign.…

    9/11 Should Be Banned In The United States

    Second, President Trump excuses much of the legality of his executive order by saying that it’s a national security; though it is a fear tactic that he has used throughout his presidency, a few Google searches will confirm that there is not a national security risk. After the attacks on September 11, there were many freedoms restricted for a period while the nation worked on increasing national security and diminishing risks. The terrorist attacks instilled fear towards the entire Muslim community and much of the middle east (Kennedy); however, the nations listed on Trump’s immigration ban are not even the same nations that the terrorists behind the September 11 attacks. After the executive order was signed, a news agency from Iran wrote that…

    Turlare Persuasive Speech Essay

    It will create a society like San Francisco where people “run wild” and "people in SF know their things get stolen" "they let violent offenders loose". I argue that a system that lets affluent white young men like Brock Turner serve three months for rape is the problem, not the undocumented. I am sick and tired of hearing about how undocumented people need to live up to some extremely high standard to be welcomed here. They have to get 4.5 GPA, never even consider breaking a law, and “serve their time” in the line for citizenship. However, let us forget about any real situation an average person goes through on a daily basis and demand extremely high expectations we don’t even demand for…

    Organizational Issues in Criminal Justice

    In the state of Arizona, Senate Bill 1070 is a bill that in essence, regulate that elements of the criminal justice system, assist in the enforcement of federal immigration laws. This new law would make the failure of carrying ones immigration documents a crime; additionally giving law enforcement officials a more broad power to detain anyone suspected of being in the country illegally. Some fail to realize that this is not a new concept with immigration or any racist or bias towards Hispanic ethnicities. It is not called a Hispanic deportation law, it is immigration enforcement. Immigration Customs Enforcement or Border Patrol enforce the immigration laws and protect the borders of the United States. This means all persons that are not United States citizens, not any one specific ethnicity. This law provides added jurisdictional boundaries when in contact with a person suspected of being undocumented and requires that law enforcement officials act upon incidents involving undocumented immigrants and related activities.…

    Arizona Immigration Law Thesis

    residents or citizens. Having this Arizona law go into effect will bring about much riots and controversies. Arizona’s new immigration law may have been aimed at deporting as many illegal immigrants as possible, but an ironic side effect will allow more undocumented residents to apply for temporary work visas and permanent U.S. citizenship, according to research by the Arizona Capitol Times (Jim Small). When this law goes into effect in late July it will bring about racial profiling and wrongfully accusing innocent citizens. How would it make you feel if you were pulled over by a police officer for a bogus reason and later asked to prove your residency because you looked like an immigrant? Yet you’re a U.S. born citizen and been living in your state for years it would offend you and make you feel livid because you were racially profiled. The law has to be vetoed by the government to avoid many lawsuits and the discriminatory of the U.S. citizens. President Obama himself said that having this law will bring about controversy and hurting innocent Latino families (Archibold). According to the New York Times, "The country needs to confront the issue, to lift the fear that pervades immigrant communities, to better harness the energy of immigrant workers, to protect American workers from off-the-books competition. What's been happening as the endless wait for reform drags on has been ugly." Recently in one of the suits filed, a Tucson police officer, Martin Escobar, 45, a 15-year veteran, claims the law , which requires officers "when practicable" to stop and check the legal status of people they reasonably suspect may be illegal immigrants, would compel him to racially profile (Archibold). Mr. Escobar argues that the law does not specify what criteria…

    Immigration Dbq

    The case law to date does not clearly provide any legal limits on the President’s use of authority when placing prohibitions on the entrances of immigrants into America. The Act provides very broad authority as to how the president of the United States may do so. When read carefully, the Act clearly does not authorize the president to prevent immigration based on country of origin, nevertheless, it does authorize the president's decision of preventing the immigration of aliens based on his stance. For example, the president shall have the power to place temporary restrictions on immigration based on country of origin if he deems that the well-being of the United States could be adversely affected by any immigrant or any foreign country. However, he is not recommended, nor is he permitted, to prohibit any alien or class of aliens from immigrating to the United States based on factors that include bias’ along with sex, income, and religious…

    Arizona Immigration

    Two new laws were sanctioned by Arizona on April of 2010; these two laws were SB 1070 and HB 2162 (Morse). The new state requirements of these laws were associated with immigration enforcement laws that deal with crime and punishment (Morse). The SB 1070 and HB 2162 were to be enacted into law on July 29, 2010, before that a lawsuit was filed by the U.S. Department of Justice arguing the law was unconstitutional (Morse). A hearing was held the day before the law was to be enacted and an injunction was requested based on the laws that allowed law enforcement to determine immigration status during any lawful stop, the requirement to carry alien registration documents, not able to apply for work, and warrantless arrests with probable cause (which would in turn make the person removable from the country)…

    Citizens and other people against this could possibly think that Trump is targeting certain countries related to terrorist groups and local cultures that are “most likely to do something bad”. He most likely feels that this is the best move for the U.S and that something in the areas with the proposed ban is worth doing so. Typically, a president wouldn’t spend time and money to keep people out of this wonderful country. Both separate executive orders are the issue at hand in the headlines, but it is what we plan to do next that will help this…
