Trump Refers to Immigrants as â€ëœanimals ã¢â‚¬â„¢ Again
President Trump'due south Executive Orders on Immigration and Refugees
President Trump signed three executive orders the week of January 23 which offend the dignity and threaten the rights of immigrants and refugees both in the United States and globally. On January 25 at the Section of Homeland Security (DHS), Trump signed executive orders on border security and interior enforcement. On January 27, he signed an executive order at the Pentagon on refugees and visa holders from designated nations.
Executive Gild on Border Security
The executive club on border security, entitled "Border Security and Immigration Enforcement Improvements," contains several sections which undermine human rights, including the expanded use of detention, limits on access to asylum, enhanced enforcement along the US-Mexico border, and the structure of a ii,000 mile border wall.
Construction of a Border Wall and Boosted Border Patrol Personnel
Department 4 of the border security executive gild directs DHS to take steps to obtain operational control of the United states-Mexico border past planning, designing and constructing a wall along the length of the edge. Information technology as well directs DHS to classify unused funding for the purpose of constructing a wall and to undertake a comprehensive study on the security of the southern border within 180 days. Section 8 directs DHS to rent an additional v,000 Border Patrol agents "as soon as practicable."
Response:The construction of a edge wall was a primary hope of Trump's presidential entrada, despite concerns past experts that the wall would be expensive, difficult to construct, ineffective in deterring illegal migration, harmful to the environs on the edge, offensive to personal property rights, and a threat to the economical and social well-being of edge communities. President Trump'southward promise to force Mexico to pay for a wall has created intense tensions in the relationship between these hitherto allied nations.
Adding 5,000 more Border Patrol agents along the border would increase the number of agents to nearly 25,000, more triple the number of agents in 2000. The executive club does not explain why the additional agents are needed.
Increased Construction of Detention Facilities and Detention of Immigrants
Department 5 of the order directs DHS to immediately construct detention facilities at or most the southern border and to assign asylum officers and immigration judges to the facilities to bear asylum interviews and hearings. Section 6 directs DHS to detain noncitizens to the extent permitted past law and to event guidance on detention authority to terminate "catch and release."
Response: The executive gild does non specify the source of funding for the construction of detention facilities, which tin can cost tens of millions of dollars, money which volition go to individual detention companies.
The employ of detention for aviary-seekers has been shown to limit their access to due process. This policy would also require the detention of women and children, which has been challenged in court. The utilise of alternatives to detention, particularly community-based models involving nongovernmental organizations, has proven to be more humane, price-effective, and beneficial to the court system. These programs also afford immigrants meliorate access to counsel and to know your rights presentations.
Limiting Access to Aviary
Section eleven of the club directs DHS to expand expedited removal throughout the country, every bit opposed to within 100 miles of the border; to apply humanitarian parole authority only on a "case by example" basis; to train all DHS personnel on the unaccompanied alien children section of the Trafficking Victims Protection and Reauthorization Human activity (TVPRA); and to ensure that credible fear determinations for those in expedited removal or "reasonable fear" determinations for those in reinstatement of removal proceedings are conducted within the "plain language of the provisions."
Response:Studies have shown that expedited removal is often applied incorrectly by enforcement personnel and that aviary-seekers are not allowed to fairly communicate their fearfulness in such situations or, even if they do express fearfulness, are only denied a credible fear interview, leading to their return and peril. The grooming of DHS personnel on kid provisions is needed, but should exist conducted past child welfare experts, who besides should assistance edge patrol in making those determinations. Assessments should be made of all children, including Mexican children.
Executive Society on Interior Enforcement
The second immigration-related executive guild, entitled, "Enhancing Public Safety in the Interior of the The states," focuses on such issues as sanctuary cities and local-federal immigration enforcement cooperation, enforcement priorities, the reinstatement of the Secure Communities program and Section 287(grand) agreements, and an increment in the number of ICE agents.
Sanctuary Cities and Local-Federal Immigration Enforcement
Section 9 forbids "sanctuary" jurisdictions from receiving federal grants, except those that are necessary for enforcement purposes. It directs DHS to designate jurisdictions as "sanctuary" jurisdictions, although at that place is no definition of what constitutes a "sanctuary." Section viii directs DHS to enter into Section 287(thou) agreements, which let country and local police enforcement to human action every bit immigration agents and to auscultate and detain immigrants. Section 10 terminates the Priority Enforcement Plan (PEP), instituted by the Obama Administration, and re-institutes the Secure Communities plan, which would crave local jurisdictions to event "detainers" on unauthorized immigrants in their custody.
Response: Many large cities, such every bit New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago, besides as smaller cities and communities, have chosen non to cooperate with federal authorities in enforcing immigration laws, including participation in the Secure Communities and Section 287(k) programs. The executive guild will penalize these jurisdictions if they continue not to participate by withholding federal grant money, except money for "enforcement" purposes. This presumes that other funding, such as Community Block grants, could be withheld. To date, cities such as Chicago and New York have stated that they will keep to non cooperate with federal authorities on immigration enforcement because they have no legal grounds to hold apprehended person across a express menses and because they depend upon the cooperation of immigrant communities to "protect and serve" the public.
Secure Communities and Section 287(g), launched during the George West. Bush-league assistants, have been criticized equally eroding cooperation between local law enforcement officials and immigrants and their communities, which would be hesitant to report crimes to law enforcement officials who could detain and carry them. Under the Secure Communities programme, immigrants with minor offenses, such every bit loitering, accept been deported. Under Department 287(g), local enforcement officials, untrained in immigration law, have repeatedly violated the civil rights of legal residents.
Enforcement Priorities
Department 5 expands the priority list of noncitizens subject to deportation to anyone charged of a criminal criminal offense, who committed acts that constitute a criminal offence, who engaged in fraud or willful misrepresentation, who has abused whatever programme related to public benefits, who is subject to a concluding order of removal, but has not departed, or who otherwise poses a risk to public prophylactic.
Response: Despite the vow by President Trump to prioritize criminals for deportation, the executive lodge is so broad that anyone who committed even a small offense, such every bit a traffic violation or jaywalking, could be deported. The order also applies to those who may have misrepresented their status to obtain work. In society to carry out the president'southward pledge to deport 2-3 million persons he deems every bit criminals, the Trump administration would demand to significantly increase the number of ICE agents and conduct nationwide raids and sweeps.
Increase in Water ice Agents
Department vii authorizes an increase of 10,000 additional ICE agents.
Response: Such an increase would triple the number of ICE agents at a cost of $3.9 billion, likely in anticipation of the launching of more than aggressive enforcement activeness throughout the country, including raids, which spread fear in immigrant communities.
Combined, the two executive orders on immigration enforcement provide a blueprint to utilise all available resources and authorisation to carry every bit many undocumented persons equally possible. This would no doubt lead to an unprecedented separation of families, including families with US-denizen children.
Executive Order on Refugees
On January 27, President Trump signed an executive guild entitled, "Protecting the Nation from Terrorist Attacks by Foreign Nationals." The gild suspends the issuance of visas to nationals from Iran, Republic of iraq, Sudan, Syria, Libya, Somalia, and Yemen; shuts down the U.s. refugee program for 120 days; reduces the number of refugees to be admitted to the United States in FY 2017 from 110,000 to 50,000; halts the resettlement of Syrian refugees indefinitely; launches a screening mechanism for the entry of strange nationals; and requires DHS to expedite completion of an entry-get out tracking arrangement.
Interruption of Visas to Sure Countries and Farthermost Vetting
Department three of the executive order suspends the issuance of visas to countries designated every bit existence detrimental to the interests of the United States for 90 days, listing Iran, Iraq, Sudan, Syria, Libya, Somalia, and Republic of yemen. Section 4 requires implementation of compatible screening standards for all immigration programs, to include assessments such as whether an individual is a gamble, will exist a positive contributor to the nation, and has the ability to make contributions in the national involvement.
Response: The countries listed for suspension of visas are Muslim-majority, while other nations that have experienced terrorism take non been listed. This suggests that the executive social club is targeting Muslim immigrants. While some countries are listed, others, such as Saudi arabia, are excluded, even though the nine/11 hijackers originated from that country. The implementation of a screening program in Section 4 is subjective and could lead to bigotry confronting certain religions and persons of certain income levels.
Intermission of the US Refugee Program and the Ban on Syrian Refugees
Section 5 of the executive order suspends the United states of america resettlement plan for 120 days while a review is made to ensure that refugees are existence adequately screened for national security purposes. The program will be restored only if the Secretary of State, the Secretarial assistant of DHS, and the Manager of National Intelligence concord that sufficient safeguards are in place. The social club also reduces the number of refugees admitted into the United States to 50,000 for FY 2017, downward from 110,000 set past the Obama Administration. It allows the continued processing of refugees on a "case-by-example" basis and individuals with religious-based persecution claims, who would receive priority in one case the program is resumed. In add-on, information technology suspends the resettlement of Syrian refugees indefinitely.
Response: According to security experts, refugees who enter through the Us Refugee program are the most vetted entrants into the United States, going through multiple security screenings before entry into the country, a process that can have as long as 2 years. Since the 9/11 attacks, the Us has resettled virtually 800,000 refugees through the resettlement program and none accept launched a terrorist attack on US soil. The conflation of refugees every bit threats to national security is a tactic used to reduce the number of refugees admitted to the United states of america. This decision will take grave ramifications worldwide, as other nations will follow the US' atomic number 82 in abdicating their legal and moral responsibilities to refugees in the proper noun of national security.
Banning Syrians from resettlement and suspending visa issuance to nationals of Muslim-majority nations volition also certainly be used as a recruiting tool by terrorist groups, who volition claim these measures prove that the United States is hostile to Islam. Syrian refugees are fleeing the persecution of extremist groups similar ISIS and require protection as much as any refugee group at this time.
The exception for those who face religious persecution, according to President Trump, applies to Christian minorities in the Middle E, only also, given the language, could apply to other religious minorities, such every bit Rohingya in Myanmar, who are Muslim in a majority Buddhist state. While Christian refugees in the Middle East should be protected, either in the region or in a third land, it should not preclude the resettlement of Muslims, who also are top targets of extremist groups. Some faith leaders in the Middle Due east, including Cosmic bishops, oppose the resettlement of their Christian populations, because they fear it volition lead to a diminishment of their local Christian communities.
The executive order on refugees, wrapped in national security linguistic communication, will make the U.s.a. less secure. It will give extremist groups a propaganda tool for recruitment; encourage other nations to abdicate their responsibilities to refugees and other vulnerable populations; and will amerce millions of Muslims, both in the United States and away, who otherwise would exist allies and important sources of counter-terror and constabulary enforcement intelligence.
The three executive orders bespeak that the United States is turning its back on its heritage as an immigrant nation and a safe oasis for the world's persecuted. This stance volition impairment its moral continuing in the world, and limit its ability to influence other nations to interact with it on humanitarian and other initiatives. It will also impairment U.s.a. relations with long-term allies. Congress should resist these orders and deny funding to implement them.
The following are important CMS analyses and resources on these issues, which offering an of import, evidence-based counter-narrative to the policies prepare forth in these executive orders.
President Biden's Executive Actions on Immigration
President Joseph R. Biden Jr. set forth an aggressive immigration agenda in the early days of the Biden-Harris administration, committing both to reverse harmful policies implemented by the Trump assistants and to revitalize the United states immigration arrangement more broadly. In his first 100 days in office, President Biden articulated his clearing and refugee protection goals and reversed many of his predecessor's policies in a series of executive actions. He also raised the refugee admissions cap for FY 2021 and endorsed the US Citizenship Act of 2021, which would stand for the about sweeping immigration reform legislation in decades and create the largest legalization program in Usa history. President Biden's executive actions address the state of affairs at the southern border, root causes of irregular migration from Central America, impacts of climate change on migration, COVID-19 travel restrictions, and fortification of existing legal immigration pathways, every bit well as commitments to create new ones.

The Use of Executive Orders and Proclamations to Create Immigration Policy: Trump in Historical Perspective
This article examines presidential immigration policy making through executive orders (EOs) and proclamations. It finds that Donald Trump'due south overall volume of EOs has been remarkably similar to that of other presidents, while his number of proclamations has been relatively high. However, his immigration-related EOs and proclamations diverge from those of his predecessors in several ways. Of the 56 clearing-related EOs and 64 proclamations issued since 1945, one pct of all EOs and proclamations take been clearing related, compared to eight percent of Trump'southward EOs and 2.4 percent of Trump's proclamations. In a sharp departure from previous presidents, a greater share of Trump's EOs and proclamations accept been substantive policy-making documents intended to restrict admissions of legal immigrants and increment enforcement along the border and in the interior of the U.s.. This article explores Trump'southward unorthodox use of executive tools to make immigration policy, circumventing Congress and even members of his own administration. It recommends that Congress reassert its power over US immigration constabulary and policy.

"Enemy Territory": Immigration Enforcement in the US-Mexico Borderlands
For the last two decades, immigration enforcement along the US-Mexico edge has been based focused on the strategy of "prevention through deterrence," which has been characterized by concentrated enforcement personnel and resources directly forth the border and expanded detention and deportation of unauthorized immigrants. Despite significant federal spending on enforcement, the number of unauthorized immigrants living in the U.s. has tripled since the strategy was introduced in the 1990s. "Prevention through deterrence" has likewise funneled more migrants into increasingly dangerous border crossing routes and resulted in enforcement excesses past Border Patrol agents.

U.s.a. Undocumented Population Drops Below 11 1000000 in 2014, with Continued Declines in the Mexican Undocumented Population
Undocumented clearing has been a significant political issue in recent years, and is likely to remain so throughout and across the presidential ballot year of 2016. One reason for the loftier and sustained level of interest in undocumented clearing is the widespread belief that the tendency in the undocumented population is e'er upward. This paper shows that this conventionalities is mistaken and that, in fact, the undocumented population has been decreasing for more than than a half a decade. Other findings of the paper that should inform the immigration debate are the growing naturalized citizen populations in almost every U.s. country and the fact that, since 1980, the legally resident foreign-built-in population from Mexico has grown faster than the undocumented population from United mexican states....

Across DAPA and DACA: Revisiting Legislative Reform in Lite of Long-Term Trends in Unauthorized Immigration to the United States
This newspaper documents dramatic changes in unauthorized clearing to the United States in the past two decades. It presents estimates of the unauthorized resident population derived from American Community Survey information, supplemented past recent estimates produced by Warren and Warren (2013), and statistics from IPUMS-USA. The newspaper highlights several trends that emerge from this data, including the precipitous pass up in arrivals into this population since 2000 (particularly from Mexico), the rapidly increasing average length of residence of unauthorized residents, and the growing salience of visa overstays in constituting this population.

The estimates provide detailed demographic information for unauthorized residents in population units every bit small as 100,000 persons.
