Avoiding Prosecution and Detainment in Order to Return Home
If we want to encourage illegal immigrants to return to their home on their own it may be necessary to place a loophole in our immigration laws to encourage this act. But will the illegal immigrants actually leave?
The immigration issue has been heating up for quite some time in Arizona. The passage of Arizona's immigration laws has brought national attention to the issue that is at an all time high in Arizona. The poor economy has made this issue not just an immigration problem but an economic problem. The economy in Arizona has been greatly affected by the nations economic issues and that has made jobs in Arizona difficult to come by. Illegal immigrants have been blamed for the lack of jobs available in Arizona, it does not matter if that is true or not, it is what the common belief is in the state. Illegal immigrants have not been able to find enough work and some have taken to returning back to Mexico.
It is the belief of an anti-illegal immigration group, Americans for Legal Immigration PAC (ALIPAC) that these illegal immigrants would return to their homelands if there were able to receive safe transportation across the border without the fear of detainment and prosecution for illegal immigration violations. To be clear, the safe transportation does not necessarily mean that the United States or Mexico would arrange and provide vehicle transportation from one country to another country. It means simply that the border between the two countries would provide an opening in the border that would be designated for the safe return to Mexico. The safe return to Mexico opening in the border would eliminate the risk of desert crossings and hiring third parties to smuggle the illegal immigrants across the borders.
ALIPAC is focusing on pressuring the White House to consider a loop hole in the immigration laws to allow for this type of border amnesty for those illegal immigrants to return to Mexico. The question that must be asked is if this would actually work for the safe return to Mexico? There have been an estimated 100,000 illegal immigrants in the last two years that have left Arizona. It would have been great to know if the 100,000 illegal immigrants returned to Mexico or if these individuals moved on to other states to find a source of income.
It is difficult to determine this as there are very few records of these illegal immigrants available. That is part of the increasing problem. Despite the Department of Homeland Security reporting that the illegal immigrant problem in Arizona being as high as 560,000 in 2008 and 460,000 in 2009 the actual numbers may be significantly greater or significantly less than what was reported. That is a significant part of the problem.
Despite the economy being incredibly unstable for tax paying Americans who are eligible to receive services to assist them during this time, there is very little to offer the illegal immigrants. Yet there are hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants still in the United States. Will an open door policy to exit without detainment or criminal charges actually change the illegal immigrants decision to come to the United States?
But there is something else that needs to be brought up for consideration that is quite literally hidden in the obvious statement of how many immigrants that are in the state of Arizona and the entire United States. If the Department of Homeland Security is able to report the numbers of illegal immigrants in Arizona and the United States as a whole, then why are they still in this country?
