I 826 Immigration: Fill & Download for Free

“Would sending illegal immigrants to prison for entering in illegally be a good deterrence to more illegal immigration?”This idea has already been tested! Just do an internet search for “Operation Streamline.” Here are just a couple of links, but there are many more, and many of them do not speak kindly of the program:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Streamlinehttps://www.oig.dhs.gov/assets/Mgmt/2015/OIG_15-95_May15.pdfBut in case you just want an answer to the question, let me give you a rather lengthy summary of a rather large case study. In 2005, an agreement was worked out between the Del Rio Sector of the U.S. Border Patrol, the U.S. Attorney’s Office and U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas, and the U.S. Marshal’s Office in Del Rio. Essentially, the parties agreed to a system by which all illegal aliens apprehended by the Border Patrol in the areas closest around the Ports of Entry in Del Rio and Eagle Pass, Texas, would be federally prosecuted for 8 U.S.C. § 1325 - Improper entry by alien. Furthermore, those aliens found guilty were initially sentenced to serve 10 days, with longer sentences given to aliens who were apprehended again.The reason an agreement between the parties involved was needed, was to address and mitigate the concern that prosecuting every illegal alien apprehended by the Border Patrol would flood and overload the federal court system and detract from attention given to other crimes that might be considered more serious.In practice, the Border Patrol avoided overloading the court by initially limiting itself to only prosecuting illegal aliens apprehended in areas closest to the Ports of Entry in Del Rio and Eagle Pass, Texas. Once word spread that illegal aliens apprehended in the cities were being sent to jail for 10 days, they began illegally crossing the border outside the cities, where other apprehended illegal aliens had merely been sent back across the border. This had the additional effect of helping the Border Patrol by giving them more time to detect and apprehend the illegal aliens in before they were able to hide in and around the cities.Once the number of illegal aliens being apprehended in the cities had dropped significantly, the Border Patrol slowly and steadily expanded the areas in which apprehended illegal aliens would be prosecuted, thereby avoiding overloading the federal court while also gradually influencing most illegal aliens to cross the border farther and farther from the cities. The expansion continued until all illegal aliens apprehended in the entire Del Rio Sector were being prosecuted.The negative effects of this were increased costs for the Border Patrol and U.S. Marshals to transport and detain the increased number of prisoners, and an increased workload for the Border Patrol agents that had to do the additional paperwork and present the cases in court. This was also accompanied by a decrease in apprehensions by the Border Patrol, that could only logically be caused by either fewer illegal entries or less effective enforcement.There were also other changes to the way illegal aliens were processed during this time that makes analyzing the results less straightforward. Specifically, the amount of paperwork involved in processing each illegal alien increased absurdly. Previously the apprehension of most illegal aliens led to a Voluntary Return and was typically documented on only two forms: the I-213 Record of Deportable/Inadmissible Alien, and the I-826 Notice of Rights and Request for Disposition. In 2004, the Border Patrol began using the process of Expedited Removal to issue a formal order of Removal against almost all illegal aliens that were apprehended. The only practical result of the removal process was to create a record that would prevent subsequent legal entries by those aliens. In short, an illegal alien that was apprehended, processed for Voluntary Return, and sent back to Mexico (pretty much the only option in this situation), took about 10 minutes of paperwork and could still apply later for legal entry. An illegal alien processed for Expedited Removal typically takes a couple of hours of paperwork and is prevented from applying for legal entry for five years. This means that about the same time the Border Patrol started “Operation Streamline” in Del Rio, Texas, they also vastly increased the amount of paperwork required to document/process each illegal alien they apprehended, thereby giving some credence to the argument for “less effective enforcement.”If you’re still reading this, let me now just straight up answer the question. YES, sending illegal aliens (incorrectly aka illegal immigrants) to prison for entering illegally, DOES deter SOME illegal immigration. However, it does not deter all illegal immigration, particularly when enforcement of immigration law stops at the border. While changes in the way illegal aliens are handled has made enforcement more difficult, prosecuting illegal aliens has also made a noticeable difference in illegal entries. Of course, some illegal aliens have just changed their tactics by bringing their children with them, forcing the Border Patrol to look for other was to deter illegal immigration without “separating families.”Let me add one final personal note. I fully support enforcing immigration law at the border and in the interior of the U.S. For people who don’t appreciate strict enforcement of immigration law, I would suggest changing the law to improve and expand the system for legal immigration, which I would also support.

This photo was taken June 10th, 2019, of a Border Patrol station in McAllen, Texas, as part of an inspection of the immigrant detention conditions by the Office of the Inspector General (OIG). The resulting OIG report [pdf] was released on July 2nd, 2019, and reports on conditions observed during their 2019 inspections. That's where I found the photo. The subject of the report is, “DHS Needs to Address Dangerous Overcrowding and Prolonged Detention of Children and Adults in the Rio Grande Valley.”It notes that 100,000 more families were detained in the 9 months that ended with May 2019 than were detained in the 9 months that ended with May 2018, an increase of 269%. And it noted that official standards for their treatment are not being upheld.During our visits to five Border Patrol facilities and two ports of entry in the Rio Grande Valley, we reviewed compliance with CBP’s Transport, Escort, Detention and Search (TEDS) standards, which govern CBP’s interaction with detained individuals, and observed serious overcrowding and prolonged detention of unaccompanied alien children (UACs), families, and single adults that require immediate attention. Specifically, Border Patrol was holding about 8,000 detainees in custody at the time of our visit, with 3,400 held longer than the 72 hours generally permitted under the TEDS standards. Of those 3,400 detainees, Border Patrol held 1,500 for more than 10 days.A footnote quotes the relevant TEDS standard:Detainees should generally not be held for longer than 72 hours in CBP hold rooms or holding facilities. Every effort must be made to hold detainees for the least amount of time required for their processing, transfer, release, or repatriation as appropriate and as operationally feasible.Not all of the cages are made of chain link, like these luxurious bedrooms for detained families. The aluminum foil things are sleeping bags.Some are glass, like this holding cell for male detainees. Consider where you would sleep in the following room.Another relevant quote:826 (31 percent) of the 2,669 children at these facilities had been held longer than the 72 hours generally permittedTo answer your question, yes, detainees are placed in cages in the USA in the present.

Naturally this depends on what you mean by "socialized", and this is one of the most common questions and concerns regarding homeschooling. I am not sure how this could be researched, however. Number of friends? Hostile or amicable relationship with parents? Hostile or amicable relationships with peers? Frequency of contact with members of the community? Volunteerism rate? Suicide rate of homeschooled vs. traditionally schooled? Violence and bullying in traditional schools vs. homeschool groups?However, here are some differences I've noticed, as a homeschooling mother:Age Cohort & Peer vs. Family OrientationMost schooled children spend most of their time with children their own age, usually within a year of their age, with a few adults teaching or supervising. Homeschooled children tend to spend more time with their families, siblings and children of different ages. Typical homeschool groups include kids of a variety of ages, from newborns through teenagers, and often you see four-year-olds working side-by-side with 10-year-olds. Related to the age cohort difference is the result of that stratification by age. The tendency for schooled children is to be primarily peer-oriented vs. parent or family-oriented (see below). There was a study done which indicated that mixed-age groups of children were significantly less likely to exhibit bullying behavior. Children interacting with other children at least 3 years younger saw themselves as protectors and role models, rather than as competitors or rivals.Personally I believe our society is broken in that people mainly associate with people their own age. My relatives in the Philippines, if they threw a party, would include everyone -- babies, kids, teenagers, people in their 20s, 30s, 40s -- and grandmas in their 80s. This was not unusual, and I think, the mark of a healthy society. However I rarely see this kind of intergenerational mixing in the States, except with first generation immigrants.One-on-one attentionParents also know their children, and can adapt the pace of learning, the subjects taught to the individual child. Traditionally schooled kids have to keep to the 2nd grade, 3rd grade, etc curriculum as taught, whereas homeschooled kids can go faster or slower as needed. As has been noted in the recent article regarding Khan Academy in Wired (http://www.wired.com/magazine/2011/07/ff_khan/all/1) and in the work of 826 Valencia (http://826valencia.org/about/) among many others -- kids thrive when given one-on-one attention, learn more, gain confidence.Community participationWe are able to spend time every week at a nursing home, in conversation with the elderly residents (we visit one resident in particular that we have a close relationship with, but have adopted the whole place). Children and the elderly are almost never seen in our daily lives and are missing from civil society. As such their needs are not taken into consideration in many decisions we make regarding public life.Closeness to FamilyAfter "better education" the reason most frequently cited for why parents homeschool their children is in order to have a closer family. Peers, media, and other influences commonly drive a wedge between children and parents and homeschooled children tend to have a closer relationship with parents and siblings.I study communities, especially online communities, so I have thought a lot about the subject of communities and socialization. Here are some of my notes from John Taylor Gatto's book Dumbing us Down too, which makes some similar points: http://caterina.net/wp-archives/36Determining who in our society is 'well socialized' is subjective. But a friend of mine in the tech industry asked me "Why is it that homeschoolers are so much better socialized than other people?" He mentioned a woman at his company who was always sent out to talk to new employees, meet new customers, talk to "problem" clients. "She can talk to anybody," he said. It might just have been the woman's personality, but one of the reasons I decided to homeschool was I met a friend's 12-year-old daughter, who spoke to me without fear, as to another person, and not as an adult, as most kids do. She was talking about the radio show that she DJ'd on a local station and knew so much about music, which she clearly loved. She was empowered to pursue this interest by her parents, as a homeschooler.There is a book called The Well-Adjusted Child, about homeschooling and socialization which I reviewed on GoodReads with some notes from the book. http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/71138966 As there are books about this topic, and this answer is becoming one, I'll wrap it up here, as I could go on.
