Stereotypical Aspect of Undocumented Immigrants

Stereotype Aspects of Undocumented Immigrants
Majority of undocumented immigrants in United States come from Mexico as well as across the border. Actually, a study carried out by Pew Hispanic Research Center indicated that undocumented immigrants from Mexico have reduced. For instance, in 2007 there were approximately 7 million immigrants living in America. In 2010, the number declined further to 6.5 million representing 58% of the total population in United States. The decline may be due to several aspects such as increased border enforcement, an increase in deportation, destabilized American job and construction sectors, increasing risks related to the illicit border crossing and wider Mexican economic issues (Borjas, Grogger, and Gordon, 255-282). A number of unauthorized immigrants enter U.S.A unlawfully as others with permission, however they extend the accepted days indicated on their visas. There are several ways that immigrants use to enter United States. The most common approach is use of man made boats or tubes from other nations. This approach is widely used by immigrants from Caribbean. Others from South America fly to Mexico; in this case they seek illegal assistance of smugglers to help them illegitimately cross the boarder. Immigrants also cram into ships, boxcars or trucks to enter United States. In most cases, they pay off corrupt officials to get access to a particular country. A lot of them end up getting to their designated countries and regularly this may entail risking their life. However, execution of security measures and technological advancement it is even intricate to cross the boundary and evade detection. In some instances, Hispanic immigrants severally attempt before they effectively crossing the boundary.
Undocumented immigrants find way into the US in two distinctive ways: about sixty percent cross the border illegally, while the remaining forty percent overstay a legitimate visa. Whereas the Border Patrol is under obligation to prevent the first approach of undocumented entry, it is the duty of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to find and deport visa overstays as well as persons that escape Border Patrol. This department charts House as well as Senate bills and joint resolutions in three sub-sections: General Interior Enforcement such as augmenting the number of ICE professionals and programs to contain undocumented immigrants that pose a threat to the social wellbeing; Workplace Enforcement to stump out undocumented immigrant labor-force as well as state and Local Enforcement to enhance cooperation as well as integration between ICEs, state and regional administrative governments (Katz and Murphy, 35-78). According to the Pew Hispanic Center approximates that about six to seven million undocumented immigrants find their way into the US through suspicious entry, accounting for more than 50% of the total population. About 500,000 undocumented immigrants enter into US each year. Cross Border has been one of the conduits through which undocumented immigrants are smuggled into the country by professional cartels. Impeccable sources indicate that approximately 5.5 million undocumented immigrants entered US legally, a figure representing about 50% of the entire population. Tourists are therefore termed as “visa overstay” when they stay in US even after the visa has expired. To track on visa overstay, the immigration department uses the US-VISIT technology, a system that compiles and stores biographic, basic and biometric information about foreign immigrants entering into the US. It equally requires electronically readable passports entailing such data (Lewis, 20-32)
A negligible figure of undocumented immigrants find their way into US lawfully using the Border Crossing Card, which sanctions border entry into United States for a given time-frame. Approximately 148 million of all the registered immigrants enter into United States through Border Crossing Card, although scanty information can substantiate how the large population of undocumented immigrants entered US. The US has been overtaken by immigrants, something that has never been witnessed previously. This spiraling percentage of immigrants versus the American populace was highest in the 1900s, a period when the foreign-born comprised of nearly 20% of the entire population. At the present, about 12% of the population is foreign-born. From the onset of the economic downturn in 2008, the ratio of undocumented immigrants entering US has gone down. On the other hand, undocumented immigrants face accusations for having anchor babies- these are babies that allow an entire household to stay. With regard to the United States Constitution, any child born and bred on U.S. land is by virtue birth-right an American. However, immigration judges will not allow immigrants parents to overstay in US simply because their children are citizens of the U.S. This is why the federal authority deported approximately 108,000 foreign-born parents with children that are born in the United States. So, children will be forced to wait until they attain the age of 21 so as to petition to permit their parents to join them in U.S. This is a protracted process with innumerable challenges. In actual sense, anchor baby does not exist in reality, perhaps in theory (Katz and Murphy, 35-78).
A direct impact of deportation cap of 1996 as well as the USA Patriot Act has been a remarkable increase in extraditions. Before these caps, extradition was at 20,000 annually. Between 1990 and 1995 deportations went up to about 40,000 a year. As of 1996-2005 the annual aggregate had rose to over 180,000. As of 2005, the numbers went up to about 208, 521 with less than 50% of this number being extradited on criminal basis. The Media views undocumented immigrants as a barrier and believe that they are hurt the economy, education system and the larger society. Ethnic slurs such as spic, beaners are widely used do humiliate immigrants making them look...
