This book was released on 2008 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In June 2007, the Fraser Institute held a conference in Toronto, Ontario, titled, "Immigration Policy, Border Controls, and the Terrorist Threat In Canada and the United States."The chapters in this volume, which arose from this conference, raise fundamental questions about weaknesses in Canada's current immigration policies and procedures." "The contributors to this volume identify serious threats and weaknesses in the immigration, asylum, and border regimes from both Canadian and American perspectives. The authors are not opposed to effectively managed immigration or allowing genuine refugees who pose no security threat to enter the country through a well-vetted system. All believe that the vast majority of immigrants pose no danger, but are simply seeking to improve their freedom and prosperity. Nevertheless given the stakes raised by terrorist attacks, the entry of even a small number of potentially dangerous individuals should warrant major attention and policy review."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book Admitting Syrian Refugees written by Subcommittee on Counterterrorism and Int and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-12-30 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America has a long and proud history of providing safe harbor to refugees. Refugees admitted to America include the scientist Albert Einstein, from Germany, and thousands more who have contributed to American society. But we have also had refugees and asylum seekers who take advantage of U.S. safe haven to plot and carry out attacks. Over the last 4 years, the conflict in Syria has forced more than 3.9 million Syrians to flee their country, in large part due to the continued violence and savagery of ISIS, making this one of the world's biggest refugee crises. In 2015, the United States is expected to admit several thousand Syrian refugees, a number only expected to rise over the next few years, as well as almost 70,000 refugees from approximately 70 countries. Government officials and security experts have expressed concerns that terrorist groups may seek to use Syrian refugee programs as a gateway to carry out attacks in Europe and America. It is essential that we have a discussion of the humanitarian crises and the security risks inherent in the process.

Book excerpt: Migration and security after 9/11 from the country's leading social scientists. "On a road that divides Canada and Maine, a Canadian drove thirty feet into the Maine section of town to fill his truck with gasoline without checking in with immigration. He was arrested and held in an American prison for 35 days." from The Maze of Fear The roster of security measures enacted by the Bush administration in the panic that followed September 11 is by now well-known. Common to all of those initiatives from the Homeland Security Presidential Directive 2 to the USA PATRIOT Act is concern about the link between migration and security. This new appreciation of how people on the move pose a threat whether real or imagined will be a recurring theme of domestic policy and international relations for years to come. But the "securitization of migration" must first confront a perplexing tangle of long borders, large-scale labor migration, and throngs of tourist and student visitors. Policymakers are only beginning to catch up with this complicated reality. Raising vital questions about government policy, The Maze of Fear explores the many dimensions of the migration-security link, including discussions of civil liberties, transnational organizations, refugee populations, and politically active diasporas. Subjects include: The movement of people and the security of states Displacement, diaspora mobilization, and transnational cycles of political violence The history of immigrants as threats to American security The war against havens for terrorism The relationship of globalization, low-intensity conflicts, and refugees The impact of 9/11 on the Arab and Muslim community in the U.S.

Download or read book National Security and Policy in America written by Wesley S. McCann and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-11-28 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates the strategic use of America’s historical crime control, counterterrorism, national security and immigration policies as a mechanism in the modern-day Trump administration to restrict migration and refugee settlement with a view of promoting national security and preservation. National Security and Policy in America critically explores how American culture, neocolonial aspirations, and indifference towards others negatively impact long-term global security. This book examines immigration and security policies and their origins, purpose, impact, and evolution vis-à-vis the recently imposed ‘travel ban’ and proposed border wall across the Southern border, as well as how foreign policy influenced many of the migration flows that are often labeled as security risks. The book also seeks to understand why immigration has been falsely associated with crime, terrorism, and national insecurity, giving rise to counterproductive policies, despite evidence that immigrants face intolerance and turmoil due to the powerful distinctions between them and the native-born. This book uses an interdisciplinary framework in examining the U.S.’ current response to immigration and security and will thus appeal to undergraduate and graduate students of law, social justice, criminology, critical theory, neo-colonialism, security studies, policing, migration, and political science, as well as those interested in the practical questions of public administration.

Download or read book Refugees and Terrorism in the West - Conditions that Exacerbate Or Mitigate Attack Likelihood from Asylum Seekers, Analysis of Sweden and United Kingdom, Syrian Refugee Concerns, Political Impacts written by U S Military and published by . This book was released on 2019-06-22 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A key concern of the United States and Europe for accepting refugees is the perceived threat of increased vulnerability to terrorist attacks, especially concerning refugees from origin countries with a known presence of terrorist organizations. While studies have focused on refugee flows to specific countries, research is needed to identify and compare any correlation between refugees and an increased number of terrorist attacks in the receiving country. This thesis aims to analyze any correlation to determine if there is a positive relationship between receiving refugees and an increase in terrorist attacks, and evaluate conditions that may exacerbate or mitigate the likelihood of attacks as a result of accepting refugees.This compilation includes a reproduction of the 2019 Worldwide Threat Assessment of the U.S. Intelligence Community.Nation-states have different policies toward accepting refugees as leaders struggle with balancing those policies and assuring their constituents. In recent years we have seen world leaders such as the United States strictly limit the amount of refugees it is willing to accept, while others such as Germany have opened their doors to accommodate vast amounts of refugees. A common concern highlighted in political rhetoric is that increasing the amount of refugees accepted increases the threat to security. For example, the 2018 National Strategy for Counterterrorism argues that the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS, also known as Daesh) "has exploited weaknesses in European border security to great effect by capitalizing on the migrant crisis to seed attack operatives into the region," stating that "two of the perpetrators of the 2015 ISIS attacks in Paris, France, infiltrated the country by posing as migrants." Others argue that more open-door or humanitarian policies, such as that shown by Germany's Angela Merkel, actually "reduces the risk of her citizens being targeted by Middle East terror groups," whether it be by fostering a sense of inclusiveness or a result of direct actions taken by legitimate refugees against terrorists, as was done by Syrian refugees in Germany in 2016. The question, however, remains: does accepting an increased volume of refugees result in an increased number of terrorist attacks in the host country? If so, what are the conditions that may result in an increased amount of attacks or mitigate the incidence of attacks? This study strives to answer these questions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Common wisdom suggests that 9/11 changed everything about refugee law in the United States and Canada. But did it? Refugee Law after 9/11 systematically examines the evidence to reveal that refugee rights were already so whittled down in both countries before 9/11 that there was relatively little room for negative change after the attacks. It also shows that the Canadian refugee law regime reacted to 9/11 in much the same way as its US counterpart, and these similar reactions raise significant questions about security relativism and national self-image in the two countries.

Book excerpt: Over the past eight years, thousands of legitimate refugees who pose no threat to the United States have had their applications for asylum, permanent residence, and family reunification denied or delayed due to overly broad provisions of U.S. immigration law that were intended to protect the United States against terrorism. Changes to the immigration laws enacted as part of the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 and the REAL ID Act of 2005 greatly expanded the immigration law's provisions relating to "terrorism." At the same time, the federal agencies charged with enforcing these laws began to interpret both the old and the new provisions in increasingly expansive ways. This report documents how these changes in law and in legal interpretation are affecting refugees ranging from peaceful advocates for democracy to former child soldiers. The report offers recommendations to Congress and to the Departments of Homeland Security, Justice, and State.

Download or read book Homeland Security written by Amos N. Guiora and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2011-08-25 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the ten-year anniversary of 9/11 now behind us, one critical question persists. Have policies enacted to protect us from terrorist attacks actually made us safer, or have they merely mollified the concerned public with a false sense of security? Homeland Security: What Is It and Where We Are Going combines professional experiences, personal reflections, and academic scholarship to provide a realistic assessment of current policy effectiveness. Amos Guiora’s background makes him uniquely qualified to address this issue. He was the Judge Advocate for the Israel Defense Forces Home Front Command and the legal advisor to a congressionally mandated task force charged with creating America’s homeland security strategy under the auspices of the Committee on Homeland Security. This volume: Provides perspectives from a broad array of individuals involved in homeland security Suggests ways to prioritize limited resources Demonstrates the lack of universal consensus regarding the definitions of homeland security and offers insight into what should be the predominant considerations Suggests solutions to a wide variety of dilemmas, including terror financing, cost-benefit analysis of homeland security, international cooperation/intelligence sharing, business continuity, and immigration/narco terrorism Written in an engaging manner suitable for policy makers, academics, and the general public alike, the book presents examples from the United States and Israel, offering concrete recommendations for the articulation, development, and implementation of effective homeland security strategy.
