A valuable resource for high school, college, and general readers,
this book provides an up-to-date, comprehensive examination of
illegal immigration in America, addressing its complex history,
comparing its occurrence today with the past, and explaining why a
solution is so difficult to enact. Who is coming into the United
States illegally and why? What compels people to leave their
country of origin? Is the United States responsible for taking care
of the more than 11 million individuals who are here illegally? Are
illegal immigrants helping or harming our nation's economy and
infrastructure? Should our borders be "secured" as called for by
many politicians? This book examines the history of illegal
immigration in the United States, addressing the tough questions
about the issue and describing in detail the most significant
issues and events in recent decades. It succinctly tackles the
topic of illegal immigration without bias, explores the myriad of
problems and controversies that have arisen due to illegal
immigration, and explains how lawmakers have historically tried-and
continue to try-to solve these issues. This thoroughly revised and
updated second edition ofIllegal Immigration: A Reference Handbook
covers the debate over the vexing and seemingly intractable illegal
immigration problem from all angles and updates the discussion to
2015. It covers the key court, executive, and legislative-branch
actions on the matter and examines both state and national-level
government attempts to cope with illegal immigration. The book also
contains a variety of primary source documents in summary format
that cover all the key laws enacted, presidential or state
governor's executive actions taken, and key court decisions since
1985. These documents not only provide factual data but also give
context that allows readers to better grasp the complexity of the
problem and the difficulty in trying to improve the situation
through regulation. Discusses in detail all of the proposed
solutions to the illegal immigration problem in the United States
Enables the reader, on an objective and factual basis, to compare
illegal immigration of today with the immigration of the past, and
to assess for themselves whether today's immigrants are any more or
less likely to be able to successfully assimilate into American
society and economy Provides perspective essays by a range of
scholars, "think-tank" subject experts, and advocacy activists that
give voice to various sides of the issue in a contrasting
point/counterpoint fashion Documents how the U.S. federal system of
three levels and three branches of government complicates any
effort and approach to resolving the illegal immigration problem
Includes an extensive, annotated bibliography of print and nonprint
resources that directs readers toward further reading on the topic
