Global Immigration
Social Policy and Racial and Ethnic Inequality
Global Immigration
Worldwide global immigration is at its all time high. “World mass migration began in the early nineteenth century, when advances in transportation technology and industrial revolutions at home enabled increasing numbers of people to set off for other parts of the globe in search of a better life.” (Hatton, 2008) “Immigration is controversial and effects many aspects on the lives of all human beings.” (Schaefer, 2009) Global immigration affects the law enforcement field in many ways such as drug trafficking, money laundering, and human trafficking and which leads to an increase in crime. Law enforcement is my program of study and this will affect me in my career by the increasing demands for law enforcement personnel, including ICE, CBP, TSA not to mention adding more job responsibilities to all branches of law enforcement.
Immigration has once again been the front of American debate. Critics of current immigration policy argue that immigration reform, particularly tighter restrictions on the flow of legal and immigrations, is imperative in light of the numerous threats immigration holds for the future of America. For some, immigration represents a threat to our economy, culture, and national identity. Immigrants often take jobs from American citizens and overwhelm services such as medical care, schools, and law enforcement. Furthermore, there is a belief that immigration greatly changes our culture as well as our sense of who we are. As well as the need of reforming the current immigration policy as an essential key in keeping the United States safe.
Drug trafficking is the illegal production and distribution of controlled substances. It includes the money involved in the many phases of the illegal drug business, but it encompasses far more than that. “A UN report said the global drug trade generated an estimated US $321.6 billion in 2003.” (Wikipedia, 2005)
