Illegal Immigration

Family Immigration: The Long Wait To Immigrate

Family Immigration: The Long Wait To Immigrate

2010-05-01

National Foundation for American Policy (NFAP);

Family immigration quotas are inadequate and result in separation and long waits for Americans, lawful permanent residents and close family members. Approximately 4 million people are waiting in family immigration backlogs, according to data obtained from the U.S. Department of State and Department of Homeland Security. The wait time for a U.S. citizen petitioning for a brother or sister from the Philippines exceeds 20 years. A U.S. citizen petitioning for either a married (3rd preference) or unmarried (1st preference) son or daughter (21 years or older) can expect to wait 6 to 17 years, depending on the country or origin. Research shows legal immigrants experience faster wage growth than natives, are more likely to start businesses and have higher median years of schooling. Raising family immigration quotas would serve both the humanitarian and economic interests of the United States.

Immigration Court Appearances Rates

2018-02-09

Human Rights First;

As Congress and the Trump Administration debate immigration policy reforms, one critical—and often misrepresented—piece of information is the extent to which individuals in immigration removal proceedings comply with their court appearance obligations. Based on available data, it is clear that immigrants appear for their immigration court hearings at high rates, particularly when they have legal representation or case management support, and accurate information related to the court process.

Does Immigration Impact Institutions?

Does Immigration Impact Institutions?

2014-05-06

Welfare and Immigration

Welfare and Immigration

2012-07-01

Migration Policy Centre;

This paper contains a review of the economics literature on the issue of the relationship between immigration and welfare. The review is organised around two questions. First, are immigrants, especially low-skilled immigrants, attracted to welfare-generous states? Second, are immigrants more likely to be recipients of welfare compared to natives? The evidence with respect to both questions suggests that the more extreme fears sometimes expressed in public discourse are exaggerated. While some groups of immigrants might be attracted to welfare-generous states, the effect is unlikely to be significant in terms of public budgets. Similarly, while examples do appear of certain sub-groups of immigrants using welfare more intensively than natives, there are many examples where the opposite holds or where no difference is found. In spite of these findings, a case can still be made that policies should be adopted which convince native populations that excess welfare use by immigrants cannot arise. Such policies may be needed if on-going immigration, which is desirable on many grounds, is to avoid negative political pressure.

Immigration to Manchester, New Hampshire

Immigration to Manchester, New Hampshire

2014-05-06

Carsey School of Public Policy at The University of New Hampshire;

Immigration is an important source of population growth and demographic diversity in the United States. Immigration introduces a more multicultural and multiracial population, as well as linguistic diversity and disparities in education and income. These changes have created social and economic vitality in some respects, but they also have created challenges and are sometimes met with anxiety and backlash. Immigration is a contentious topic in politics, and the U.S. Congress has debated but has not yet passed a comprehensive bill to reform immigration policy. Although much of the attention to immigration has focused on large metropolitan areas and border states such as Arizona and California, immigration has also affected smaller cities and rural areas.
