How do Governments
affect migration?
Government
 The government tries to restrict or encourage
immigration
 Ex. The Great Wall of China and the Berlin Wall
 Some countries practice select immigration which is
individuals with certain backgrounds are kept from
entering
Post September 11th
 Before 9/11 U.S. border patrol concerned with drug
trafficking and human smuggling, whereas the
policies after focused on asylum-seekers, illegal, and
legal immigrants.
 The U.S. government detained people from 3
countries where al-Qaeda operates who immigrated to
the U.S seeking asylum.
 The Justice department also has a policy that detains
any illegal immigrant whether they have ties to a
terrorist organization or not.
Opposing Sides
 Organizations such as Human Rights First and the Migration Policy
Institute are against the new government policies on migration, claiming
them as a violation to civil liberties and not a benefit to safety.
 Others agree, stating that the regulations only slow traffic and the flow of
business and tourism and has failed to slow illegal immigration.
 However, some claim that these decisions are an asset to halting the
growing population in the United States, and necessary precautions must
be taken to prevent the migrations of supposedly illegal immigrants into
the States.
 Regardless as to which side you agree with, the government appears to
have the final say in whether or not certain natives of a country can be
allowed to enter the country of America freely.
