Immigration
Immigration is not a nowadays phenomenon. It exists in the more intensively integrated global capitalist economy countries. So a great number of people move there for the purpose of work and studies. Immigrants are people who obtain legal status marked, at a minimum, by some form of residence permit that regulates the terms of their employment .Some, but by no means all, foreign workers and expatriates seek and reach citizenship in the state where they work. Seasonal labor migration is often a form of immigration. There are two factors of immigration: push factors and pull factors.


Escape from poverty (personal or for relatives staying behind) is a traditional push factor, the availability of jobs is the related pull factor. For some migrants, education is the primary pull factor (although most international students are not classified as immigrants).
Evasion of criminal justice (e.g. avoiding arrest) is a personal motivation. Crime can be internationally recognized, so this type of immigration is not legal. Though, in some cases criminals may disguise their identities or find other loopholes to evade from detection.


The immigrants have to overcome not only legal barriers, but social and psychological barriers as well, which can undoubtedly be very powerful. When immigrants leave their countries they also leave their family, friends, relatives and their culture. When they arrive in a new country they strike with such problems including finding work, where to live, new cultural norms, language or accent issues, new laws, possible racism and other exclusionary behavior towards them and their family.


The U.S. has often been called the “melting pot”, a name derived from United States’ rich tradition of immigrants coming to the US   ‘the country of their dreams’ to look for something better.

What is Immigration law?
Immigration law is a fast evolving field of law, with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and Department of Labour (DOL) coming out with new laws, regulations and memos on a daily basis. Immigration law refers to national government policies which control the phenomenon of immigration to their country.
Immigration law, regarding foreign citizens, is related to nationality law, which governs the legal status of people, in matters such as citizenship. Immigration laws vary from country to country, as well as according to the political climate of the times, as sentiments may sway from the widely inclusive to the deeply exclusive of new immigrants. Immigration law regarding the citizens of a country is regulated by international law.

Characteristics of Illegal immigration
Illegal immigration to the United States refers to the act of foreign nationals violating U.S. immigration policies and national laws by immigrating to the United States without proper consent from the United States government.
There are many characteristics shared among illegal immigrants living in the United States. A trend that grew from the 1990s to the late 2000s, illegal immigrants continue to outpace the number of legal immigrants–a trend that has held steady since the 1990s. While the majority of legal aliens continue to concentrate in places with existing large communities of Hispanics, increasingly illegal immigrants are settling throughout the rest of the country.
A common bond that unites many illegal immigrants is that they are “sojourners: they come to the United States for several years but eventually return to their home country.”
People become illegal immigrants in one of three ways: entering without authorization or inspection, staying beyond the authorized period after legal entry, violating the terms of legal entry or by economic incentives.
# Visa overstay
A traveler is considered a “visa overstay” once he or she remains in the United States after the time of admission has expired. The time of admission varies greatly from traveler to traveler depending on what visa class into which they were admitted. Visa overstays tend to be somewhat more educated and better off financially than those who crossed the border illegally.
To help track visa overstayer the US-VISIT (United States Visitor and Immigrant Status Indicator Technology) program collects and retains biographic, travel, and biometric information, such as photographs and fingerprints, of foreign nationals seeking entry into the United States. It also requires electronic readable passports containing this information.
Visa overstays mostly enter with tourist or business visas. In 1994, more than half of illegal immigrants were Visa overstayers whereas in 2006, about 45% of illegal immigrants were Visa overstayers.
Their mode of violation breaks down as follows: if the suspect entered legally without inspection, then the suspect would be classified as either a “Non-Immigrant Visa Overstayer” or a “Border Crossing Card Violator. If the suspect entered illegally without inspection, then the suspect is classified as having “Evaded the Immigration Inspectors and Border Patrol”.
# Violating terms

People have long used sham marriages as a way to fraudulently gain legal residency and eventual citizenship in the United States.
# Economic incentives

The continuing practice of hiring unauthorized workers has been referred to as “the magnet for illegal immigration.” As a significant percentage of employers are willing to hire illegal immigrants for higher pay than they would typically receive in their former country, illegal immigrants have prime motivation to cross borders. The economic incentives that drive illegal immigration benefit both the illegal workers whose desire to work and live in the United States and the employers who want low-cost labor.

Legal Issues
# Deportation
An individual’s deportation is determined in removal proceedings, administrative proceedings under United States immigration law. Removal proceedings are typically conducted in Immigration Court (the Executive Office for Immigration Review) by an immigration judge.
# Complications
Complications in deportation efforts ensue when parents are illegal immigrants but their children are birthright citizens. Federal appellate courts have upheld the refusal by the Immigration and Naturalization Service to stay the deportation of illegal immigrants merely on the grounds that they have U.S.-citizen, minor children. There are some 3.1 million United States citizen children with at least one illegal immigrant parent as of 2005; At least 13,000 American children had one or both parents deported in the years 2005–2007.
Why a Person May be Deported?
There are many reasons when a person may be deported for back to their native country from the United States. Everyone who becomes a citizen because of fraud, or who is fraudulently residing in the country is much more likely to be deported if found out. Here are some possible reasons for deportation:
•    People who have fraudulently become citizens of the country, such as by marrying a citizen of the United States for the purpose of becoming a legal citizen.
•    People who have come to the country legally on a temporary basis and then have refused to depart when the reason was no longer valid. For example, people can travel to the United States on a work or education visa, but once the visa expires, if they do not return home or renew the visa
•    Traveling into the country by crossing a border or flying in, and then masquerading as a legal citizen.

Sanctuary cities
Several US cities have instructed their own law enforcement personnel and other city employees not to notify or cooperate with the federal government when they become aware of illegal immigrants living within their jurisdiction. These cities are often referred to as “sanctuary cities” and include Washington D.C., New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago and other mostly large urban cities. Most of these cities claim that the benefit illegal immigrants bring to their city outweigh the costs. Opponents say the measures violate federal law as the cities are in effect creating their own immigration policy, an area of law which only Congress has authority to alter.
Many cities, including Washington, D.C., New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, San Diego, Salt Lake City, Phoenix, Dallas, Houston, Detroit, Jersey City, Minneapolis, Miami, Denver, Aurora, Colorado, Baltimore, Seattle, Portland, Oregon, Portland, Maine, and Senath, Missouri, have become “sanctuary cities”, having adopted ordinances banning police from asking people about their immigration status.
