Illegal Immigration: Countries
built 630 days ago
[A]nd again, the real cause of illegal immigration remains under the table. The illegal is an important element in the economy through out America. This element has produced dependency both among the big and small employers. The Mexican is a very good worker who expects and is usually given little. He is working more for survival and this is a real motivator. Expelled all out of the country many firms will suffer, some may have to close their doors.

The Border Patrol plays a crucial role in combatting illegal immigration, but illegal immigration cannot be controlled solely at the border. About half of the illegal alien population is comprised of visa overstayers--people who entered the country legally, but became illegal aliens by their failure to leave the U.S. upon expiration of their visa. Once entry occurs, there is little chance of detection and virtually no chance of deportation, except for convicted criminals.

In fact, a country that cannot keep illegal immigration to a low level quickly ceases to be a real country, or a real community. Rather than being self-governed, such a country begins to have its destiny largely determined by citizens of other countries who manage to move in illegally.

In theory, employer sanctions and corporate criminal liability are crucial pieces of this country’s legal scheme to prevent illegal immigration. However, the standard for corporate liability applied in the Tyson case allowed the company to evade criminal liability despite the tremendous evidence presented against them. Permitting persistent violations of immigration laws directly impacts workplace conditions in the meatpacking industry and contributes to its further deterioration by allowing employers to exploit an undocumented workforce.[174] The standard for holding corporations criminally liable must be changed to strict vicarious liability if the prohibitions against smuggling and hiring illegal aliens are to be enforced.

The road to immigration reform is filled with potholes, to be sure, ensuring a bumpy ride ahead as migrants continue making their way into the United States legally and illegally. The Pew Hispanic Center, a non-profit, nonpartisan fact tank, reports that slightly more than 1.1 million migrants came to the United States starting in the early 1990s during the country’s rapid economic and job expansion period, and then declined as the economy went into a downturn after 2001.

A recent Washington Post poll found that 81 percent of people said the government was "not doing enough" to stop illegal immigration. But 62 percent said those already in the country should be offered a chance to keep their jobs and apply for legal immigration status, while 35 percent said they should be deported.
