1) Summarize the entire paper in one paragraph
The article looks to outline a position on immigration and its importance to the United States. The articles indicate why trends in immigration will not abate within the new future and are more akin to a natural migration. As a result, the articles look to weight the benefits of a more accommodative immigration policy with the negative attributes that can occur in American society. These negative attributes are further segments against the backdrop of the moral duty of America. American citizens typically have a morally rigorous feeling about following the rules and the laws. If immigrants are deemed illegal, then they are typically viewed in negative terms. The contentious nature of immigration is very polarizing as there is not correct answer that appeases all parties involved. The overall complexity of the issue makes it very burdensome as it relates to its impact on labor, wages, employment, taxes, society costs, and even education.
2) Paragraph summarizing the three administrations
The immigration policy of the Obama administration, compared to the Trump regime was much more welcoming and positive towards immigrants. Here the administration cited many of the more positive statistics related to immigrants. Many do work that Americans are not willing to do. In addition, they use wages to buy goods and services to stimulate the economy. In addition, a vast majority are law abiding people in the sense that they do not commit crimes that detract from society at larges such as theft, vandalism, and violence. However, when compared to Biden it appears that Obama was much more aggressive. Here Obama occupies a middle ground between Trump and Biden. Unlike Trump, President Obama, was very vocal in advocating for the expansion of DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) and DAPA (Deferred Action for Parental Accountability). Although Trump did advocate for these policies, his stance often switched depending on his audience. These actions offered amnesty for children who were brought to the country by their parents while minors and lack the technical qualifications for citizenship. This was seen as a net positive as these children often grew up to be very productive, tax paying members of society. This allowed protections for victims who had no control over their parents behaviors while also streamlining immigration polices decisions related to children. However, on the negative side, Obama restriction the ability for ICE to enforce their duties on the border. Through legislation, the Obama administration limited the ability and flexibility of ICE agents to make decision related to illegal immigrants that were detained.
All three administrations had very unique and often...
…confused as to how to proceed as it relates to their application for citizenship within the United States. Likewise, those in charge of border security such as ICE and other immigration agencies must also adapt to rapidly changing policies.4) Directions and recommendations for the future
As it relates to recommendation for the future, the first priority should be to have bi-partisan immigration policy that is not subject to rapid change every election cycle. The policy should be understandable and concrete so that all stakeholders involve know how to handle particular circumstances. This heavily reduces ambiguity, makes the system much more efficient, and provide a concrete foundation by which future immigrants can rely on. The legislation will be somewhat complex due to the issue of DACA, asylum, deportation, and the response to those already in the country. However, through a bi-partisan approach, the country can fulfil all the obligations in which Americans continue to clamor for. First, Americans, by and large, want a secure border. They differ in the manner in which to secure it, but most do want to have a border that is protected from foreign threats. Second, most American are accepting of legal immigration as a majority of its citizen is comprised of immigrants (Hirschman, 1999). Finally, American typically want to mitigate illegal immigration. As a result, policy recommendation…

Immigration Policies Describe U.S. Immigration policies within a historical framework. The current policies of the United States toward immigration are much different when compared to the historical strategies of the country. As: work was bountiful, immigrants were entering the nation in droves, and the availability of jobs was suited to employ the masses of people.

Much of the difference in assimilation patterns between this group of Latins and previous European and Asian groups surrounds the restructuring of the American economy and the sheer volume of immigrants. Contemporary immigrants face a dichotomous situation: "either they maintain their cultural and communal distinctivness, thus selectively acculturating while keeping some distance from the mainstream, or they will be forced into the position of racial minorities, imposing great disadvantages
Another state in the U.S., Utah, after the law enforcement which was delayed by the Arizona court, this state has adopted another option regarding the immigration policy for the state. The governor of the state said that Utah is not a state where the illegal immigrants can move and have jobs without having the fear for being deported, this is how should be (MSNBC, 2010).The Utah has a different model

Since no immigration policy has yet even slowed the number of illegal immigrants (Beinart par. 1), the only way to resolve these economic issues is to stop illegal border crossings completely with a full-scale wall. A border wall is
