THIS IS A CAPSTONE PAPER, THE ARGUMENT IS LOOKING INTO THE IMMIGRATION POLICIES AND THE RISE
OF ENFORCEMENT AT THE BORDER, ALSO LOOKING INTO I.C.E. AGENCY AND SEEING IF THE AGENCY WAS
EVER REALLY NEEDED.
This cannot be an opinion piece and must sit on all that facts, I will provide the sources I currently have but
should you use others they can only be scholarly articles, journals, or books. No opinion piece articles.
I will provide the thesis I came up with and will attach the sources, please only respond if you think you are able to make a strong argument on this topic.
Thesis:
With immigration policy comes its enforcement department. The Department of Homeland Security was created after the attacks on 9/11, the purpose of the department was to enforce immigration laws and keep the nation
safe from any terroristic threat by any means necessary. Looking closely inside the department, there is extensive evidence of abuse of immigrants, abuse of power, and lack of authority within. With everything circling the Department of Homeland Security and its enforcement tactics, was it necessary to create a department that holds itself to very little accountability?
