Introduction

United States goes on to having has the most open immigration policy worldwide since new sentence immigration has played a significant role in the history of America. America supports ed relatively open immigration regulations to settle the empty grounds especially before the rapid communication and transportation era. It is clear that immigration policy has been a work in progress affair delete and in that case, delete end sentence here the paper will focus on analyzing the immigration policy, different changes that have taken place as a result of congressional decisions and the driving factors of the congress attention on the issues. In that case, delete the paper will assess the immigration policy in depth from all different avenues and assess the data changes. Really not needed

Policy History

The immigration regulation was declared a federal responsibility by the Supreme Court in 1875 after several states implemented immigration laws as a result of the civil wars. There was one Civil War in the U.S. source? Beginning from 1900 to 1920, almost twenty hyphen four million immigrants had arrived in United States during what was the commonly known as “Great wave”. source? There was a reduction of immigration form from Europe following the World War One? outbreak, but the resumption of massive immigration was experienced after conclusion of the wars. These changes saw enactment and new immigration policy implementation: the country-origins allocation system legislated in the year Delete 1921 and reviewed in 1924. By accrediting respective citizenship an allocation based on the portrayal in the previous U.S. census data, expatriation extradition? was tentatively limited (Klassen, 2013). In addition, there was making the creation of the Border Patrol in the travel business by the Congress delete in the year delete 1924. The enactments saw a drop in immigration over the next two decades, with total immigration falling below zero how can there be fewer than zero people? for a number of years comma especially in the period delete during the Great Depression took place. delete source? The congress has continually reformed the immigration legislations with intentions to curb immigration in the United States. The congress Congressional response on the issue delete has been as delete a result of increased terrorist attack in America. In that case, delete it has been argued by the congress capitalization that working on implementing immigration policies is always for the better of “legitimate” Americans. citizens paragraph needs sources

Congress focus on immigration

The congress has always placed increased attention on immigration issues over the past years. You need to be specific which years and why. There have been enactment of the immigration acts and also increased review of the same regulations. It is Congress’ job to review immigration policy and update it However, it is clear that currently the congress has lost focus on the issues following the increased gun attacks in the state. The congress has continually stalled the immigration policy reforms based on the argument that immigration issues need to be addressed periodically and not collectively. If Congress is stalling on policy reforms, then they are not reviewing them and placing “increased attention” (what you said above). The argument makes no sense since it is difficult to take care of almost eleven million immigrants’ issues but what is clear is that the congress keeps on introducing targeted reforms and enactments. Very confusing the way it is written. Paragraph needs sources

This does not mean that the congress does not have the answers to the problem, the issue arises when it comes to coordination of various proposals to ensure that the overall impact is increasingly cohesive and acknowledged the immigration reform issues currently. Reword to make less confusing It is clear that the congress have has received tight timelines to ensure that the problem is resolved especially with the president giving an announcement regarding termination of a program which had been created by Barack Obama (Goodman, 2017). The reforms we third person have seen being made by the Congress have been reactive instead of constructive, proactive –be sure to use the correct word where it is expected that they should focus on developing a long-term comma well understood and embraced delete immigration policy.

Chart Data analysis analysis of chart and difference delete on congressional immigration focus

There is a significant what ? in immigration policies enacted in United States in different years since the demands and problems keep on changing delete change over time. The data analysis displayed on the chart indicates that there have been increased immigration laws and regulations enactments and reforms. Any time you make new laws , there is an increase in law. I’m now sure what you mean by the statement other than the obvious. The U.S. budget has been constant from 1947 through to 1973 and this is a clear indication that immigration problems by the general government received minimal attention. This does not make sense. The budget includes far more than just immigration policy. You would have to chart JUST the budget for immigration policy in order to know whether or not there was any kind of change in the budget that was directly connected to immigration. However, the budget increase was observed in the year Delete 1974. The enactment of immigration regulations began after they who? got independence and these regulations have been a clean reflection of the politics and the migrants move in the present. This was the highest point ever reached by the congress The budget was the highest point ever reached by Congress? and it is clear that during this time the congress paid undisputed attention to immigration policy. The change was linked to the formulation and enactment of various immigration Acts,see note above for instance, immigration and nationality act landmark passed in 1965 which was as a result of a combination of political, cultural and geopolitical aspects. Paragraph needs sources

This is entire budget not just immigration budget. You must separate out immigration if you want to draw any conclusions about the budget and immigration reform.

On the comparative tools the budget part. The immigration policy is not on the list, but on clicking the policy the immigration policy is on the list but the figures do not represent the expenditure. In that case, delete I decide to assume that immigration is under the general government expenditure and that's why I picked on these data. As on the graphs they are supposed to represent two periods that's why I choose 1951.. -2000 Then 2000-2015

Driving forces

It is clear that the immigration change have has been fueled by various social change aspects especially now that the public have become aware of how the policy lags behind other indigenous changes. Delete For instance, the Vietnam war capitalization gave rise to the refugee crisis and as a result the congress responded by creating provisions in the year Delete 1980 that made united states capitalization comply ? word? Did the U.S. not have protection for refugees before this? with refugee protection international guidelines. The rise of unauthorized immigration has led to reforms in the immigration policy whereby the congress has delete made a balance by legalizing about three million immigrants comma in turn demanding all employees to show their employment eligibility in America. One was not necessarily a result of the other, though they may have occurred at the same time. The constant 1996 regulation legacy, which improved immigration penalties but eradicated lots colloquial of relief aspects, can be seen as a cycle of ever increasing effort to combat immigration through increased penalties and lesser options. Another motivation for change is the long-standing lack of existing legal immigration channels. The congress has been pursuing the immigration predicament because there was the contraction of the economy since recession comma and it gets much worse considering that more than ten million immigrants are still in America. In that case, delete the congress argue that they can only make America great for the legal citizens by dealing with immigrants and ensuring that everyone goes where they deserve to be.

Congressional low attention

The changes that have been experienced in America regarding immigration regulations are evident by not substantial ??. The congress have has been paying little attention or their attention have been diverted to more urgent and critical issues. In the current times, third person we have seen the increased incidents of mass shooting across American states and this calls for congress attention. It is clear that a single mistake in formulation of immigration laws will result to increased illegal immigration. needs sources The mass shooting issue have become of great concern and as a matter of urgency, the congress have to turn their attention on this issue (Hatton, 2015). In that case delete, it means that immigration policy reforms and enactments have to be halted relentlessly. It is clear that only few law makers appear to be able to agree on the aspects that will constitute to an effective and enforceable policy. I stopped marking most errors here. There are many in the rest of the paper, too.

Theories applicable

The congress have has long worked on immigration reforms but the fails are more than the successes. In that case, delete it is hard to state whether there is light at the end of the road colloquial or all efforts will be in vain and wasted. Repetitive The 1986 amnesty law passage by the congress and signed to law by the president capitalization Reagan led to increased failure. That is the case since the main objective of the regulation was tightening borders and cracking down employers employing illegal immigrants, while providing protection to immigrants already in the nation illegally. The immigration was not slowed and since then, there is nothing that has been done in line with enforcing regulations against those employing illegal immigrants. Paragraph needs sources

The arguments that have been proposed is the congress to work towards ensuring that the basic reforms are feasible (Briggs, 2012). It means that the immigrants have to be given the opportunity of proving themselves, legally through obtaining relevant clearance and documentation. On the other hand, the congress has been arguing that their main intention is to develop immigration policy which supports families and also American values efficiently. The family immigration system breakdown is equally becoming unstable and also spur a significant illegal immigration amounts. To reduce these backlogs, it is up to the congress to ensure that the relevant policies are put to place. No theories

Conclusion

It is clear that the slow immigration policy formulation and reforms have been linked to slow progress and actions by the congress. In that case, delete it is important for the congress to take a leading role in developing workable immigration dynamics. The immigration issues continue to haunt the United States administration to date since the pending activities and aspects that require reform are wanting. The problem will remain if the government fails to develop strategies in curbing the menace once and for all.

You had some nice sources.

There were many writing errors, making the work difficult to read and understand. Be sure to proofread. Try reading the work aloud as this may help you hear the errors.

The budget includes far more than just immigration policy. You would have to chart JUST the budget for immigration policy in order to know whether or not there was any kind of change in the budget that was directly connected to immigration.

The charts you included had nothing to do with immigration as they were budget charts.

You had a theory section but didn’t include any theory or explanation of theory. You might wish to review the information from PADM500 about theory.
