How are immigration policies impacting economic, security, and humanitarian policies?
Immigration policies not only improve a country’s gross domestic production, border control, and charitable efforts but also reduce the potential risk of threats from nefarious actors and illegally entrance of firearms, drugs, and undocumented migrants through U.S. Customs and Border Protection Act (19 C.F.R. 162.6). Specifically speaking:
All persons, baggage, and merchandise arriving in the Customs territory of the United States from places outside thereof are liable to inspection by a Customs and Border Patrol officer. Unless exempt by diplomatic status, all persons entering the United States, including U.S. citizens, are subject to examination and search by Customs and Border Patrol (U.S. C.B.P., 2017).
On the other hand, migrants pursue the right to freedom, justice, and prosperity for better living standards and contribute to a country’s labor force, entrepreneurial capacity, and diverse culture. For instance, the U.S./Mexico and Canada border may hinder economic growth by political interference more than potential threats from migrants seeking asylum, residency, and citizenship while deporting undocumented hard-working families, college students, and entrepreneurs were contributing to the U.S. economy.
Undoubtedly, deporting unruly individuals committing heinous acts while causing harm to others and society should be held to account and punished following the laws while protecting law-abiding migrants from irrational deportation acts. However, despite the COVID-19 pause impacting the U.S. economy, security, and humanitarian efforts, immigrant deportation contributed to the faltering gross domestic production in our country negatively. The ashes of the COVID meltdown give rise to golden opportunities for a new and better country vision and mission through improved governance.
In short, the country needs a resilient leadership to rethink the nation’s direction, restructured institutions, and reorganized U.S. immigration policies for a more integrated system while consistently communicating and coordinating common goals and moving forward in rebuilding a better, more vital America.

“U.S. immigration policy has reflected its economic needs. When the nation needed workers, immigration laws were relaxed. When jobs were harder to find, Congress curtailed immigration”(Amadeo, 2020). “No recent event has influenced the thinking and actions of the American public and its leaders as much as the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. In the almost-12 years since 9/11, many aspects of the U.S. immigration enforcement system have become dramatically more robust. The national security threat posed by international terrorism led to the largest reorganization of the federal government since World War II. Because the 9/11 hijackers obtained valid visas to travel to the United States, despite some being known by U.S. intelligence and having been encountered by law enforcement agencies, the immigration system came under particular scrutiny.” (USCBP, 2017). In reference to post 9/11 customs relations between the US and Cananda, “ Sadly it would seem the dreadful events that took place on 9/11 did not draw Canada and the United States closer together as might have been expected when a good neighbor suffers a major catastrophe. On the contrary Canada/US relations have not been at such a low point since the end of the Civil War. In reference to our southern neighbors, “The issue with Mexico has less to do with 9/11 than it does with the long-standing problem of the thousands of illegal Mexicans who cross the border illegally searching for work and a higher standard of living in the USA. (Bissett, 2003)
