Robert Coughlon: Fixing Immigration in America, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

A Practical Plan to Fix America's Immigration System American businesses face an urgent reality: key industries across the country are struggling with severe labor shortages, and our economy cannot thrive without a stable workforce. Millions of long-term immigrant residents are already living in our communities, doing essential work in agriculture, construction, healthcare, and manufacturing. Allowing these experienced workers to stay and contribute legally is not just practical, it is an economic necessity for national prosperity. Fixing Immigration in America cuts through party politics to deliver a clear plan where everyday citizens can find common ground. Drawing on over thirty years of courtroom experience, veteran immigration attorney Robert Coughlon, Jr., lays out realistic solutions that protect human dignity while restoring the rule of law. Inside, you will discover: The power of Registry reform: Learn how updating a forgotten legal tool (Section 249) offers an earned path to legal status for peaceful, long-term residents. Independent immigration courts: Discover why moving immigration judges out of Executive Branch control is essential to restoring judicial fairness and clearing massive court backlogs. Targeted civil law enforcement: Explore a practical framework for ICE reform that restores agency integrity and uses a strict "50-mile rule" to stop profiling, while keeping federal agents focused on serious transnational crime. Modernized border security: Examine how deploying 100% Non-Intrusive Inspection (NII) technology at ports of entry could prevent drug trafficking far more effectively than physical barriers alone. Economic realities: Uncover data showing how legal workforce channels safeguard American agriculture, residential construction, and national fiscal stability.

Written in clear, understandable language for everyday readers, yet packed with concrete legislative proposals for lawmakers, this book gives every American a straightforward guide to solving the immigration crisis once and for all. "This book is an important contribution to the discussion of immigration reform." - Ira Kurzban, past-national President and former General Counsel of the American Immigration Lawyers Association
