Answer
Immigration is the act of a non native and non residential person coming to a foreign country and settling in there as a resident permanently and going on to acquire a citizenship. Immigration policies are always controversial no matter the country . The biggest issue of the government is to formulate a policy that enables the recruitment of unique talent and needed workforce and at the same time not compromising on the rights and obligations of the already native people.
Immigration policy of the states saw a 3% increase in
the laws making it 181 from the previous 175. The states have
started to formula their own immigration policies because : firstly
the federal form of government provides complete local autonomy to
the states and they have the authority of deciding the rules and
regulations of their own local area. They cannot make the decisions
at such a large scale as the central government but they can make
laws as long as they don't harm the international matters of the
country.
Some politicians economist and socialists advocate the greater
involvement of states because it is easier to keep track of
immigration flow in a small area compared to the whole US as a
whole. As a result the state authorities can provide better data
and decisions for both the immigrants and the native
population
I personally believe once the globalization occured around the
globe and governments started opening up to a more liberal market
the issue of immigration should be set aside. As with the flow of
finances people also change places. And not just about finances we
should be heading towards a more human approach where we can live
on this earth as one big happy family. And stop treating humans as
foreigners or out cast.
Have a great day
