Immigration Policy
Border control refers to measures taken by governments to monitor and regulate the movement of people, animals, and goods across land, air, and maritime borders. While border control is typically associated with international borders, it also encompasses controls imposed on internal borders within a single state. Border control measures serve a variety of purposes, ranging from enforcing customs, sanitary and phytosanitary, or biosecurity regulations to restricting migration. While some borders (including most states' internal borders and international borders within the Schengen Area) are open and completely unguarded, others (including the vast majority of borders between countries as well as some internal borders) are subject to some degree of control and may be crossed legally only at designated checkpoints. Border controls in the 21st century are tightly intertwined with intricate systems of travel documents, visas, and increasingly complex policies that vary between ...

Open Immigration
Free migration or open immigration is the position that people should be able to migrate to whatever country they choose with few restrictions. From a human-rights perspective, free migration may be seen to complement Article 13 of the Universal Declaration on Human Rights: # Everyone has the right to freedom of movement and residence within the borders of each State. # Everyone has the right to leave any country, including his own, and to return to his country. Examples of free migration Free migration of war/political refugees War-related chaos can lead to the breakdown of borders and allow for ''de facto'' free immigration. The natural attempts to flee strife, or escape a conquering enemy, can quickly lead to millions of refugees. Even where border controls are in place they can be overwhelmed by the sheer numbers of people. Once settled into refugee camps, these reluctant immigrants may take decades to be either repatriated back or naturalized into their new country. T ...

Immigration Reform In The United States
Reforming the current immigration policy of the United States is a subject of political discourse. Immigration has played an essential part in American history. Some feel that the United States maintains the world's most liberal immigration policy. Others feel that areas like the European Union with its open border policies amongst the several countries points to the absurdity of such a claim. Several pieces of amnesty legislation aimed at preserving DACA were introduced in Congress in 2018. A package proposed by Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) that would have granted DACA beneficiaries a path to citizenship in return for a border wall and major cutbacks in family-based chain migration failed in the House with 193 votes, with 41 Republicans and all 190 Democrats voting no. A week later, an even greater amnesty package sponsored by Paul Ryan and the party leadership died in the House with only 121 votes. That law would have granted amnesty to almost two million illegal immigrants while ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Immigration Reform In The United Kingdom
Immigration reform in the United Kingdom is a term used in political discussion regarding changes to the current immigration policy of the United Kingdom. In the United Kingdom, the Strangers into Citizens campaign has been supported by the Liberal Democrats. Labour MP John McDonnell, the IPPR (a Labour-leaning think-tank) and Boris Johnson (the Conservative Prime minister) have also backed selective amnesty for illegal immigrants. The Liberal Democrat proposal would regularise the status of illegal immigrants who have lived in the country for at least ten years and who do not have a criminal record. Advocates have argued that bringing such individuals (estimates range from 300,000 to 800,000) into the legal economy would raise tax revenue, save on policing expenses, and reduce expenditures on deportation.Kelly, Charle"UK immigrant amnesty ‘worth £3bn’ say LSE"''Immigration Matters'', 16 June 2009.

Immigration Detention In Australia
The Australian government has a policy and practice of detaining in immigration detention facilities non-citizens not holding a valid visa, suspected of visa violations, illegal entry or unauthorised arrival, and those subject to deportation and removal in immigration detention until a decision is made by the immigration authorities to grant a visa and release them into the community, or to repatriate them to their country of origin/passport. Persons in immigration detention may at any time opt to voluntarily leave Australia for their country of origin, or they may be deported or given a bridging or temporary visa. In 1992, Australia adopted a mandatory detention policy obliging the government to detain all persons entering or being in the country without a valid visa, while their claim to remain in Australia is processed and security and health checks undertaken. Also, at the same time, the law was changed to permit indefinite detention, from the previous limit of 273 days. The ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
