Migrant Workers Majority of the immigration policies are centralised and come from Federal level. However, local and state governments are taking more interest in solving problems related to immigration. Lately steps have been taken on local and state level to set up sanctuary cities, laws passed to prevent illegal immigrants to get a job and formation of official link between Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and police departments (Johnson and Hill, 2011).

Majority of the policies have been passed by the local and state governments as a result of the failure of federal immigration policy and majority have aimed at limiting service of illegal immigrants. Four States call for every employer to authenticate the position of their employees while twenty-one states require state employers or contractors to use a federal electronic verification system (recognized as E-Verify) to find out every potential worker's legal position. The city of Mission Viejo in California has made it necessary to authenticate the position of their employees via E-Verify while Lancaster has made it mandatory for every worker to E-Verify (Johnson and Hill, 2011). .

However, there are several apprehensions related to E-Verify. This includes its appropriateness, its precision and whether using it would result in biased practices by the employers. According to PPIC research, Arizona's E-Verify system has resulted in the total number of illegal employees. However, due to this more illegal workers have started engaging in informal employment (Johnson and Hill, 2011).

For more than 15 years, efforts have been made at the federal level on the enforcement of border regulation. This, however, is not enough to resolve the issues related to unauthentic immigration. According to the PPIC research, it has been revealed that enhancing the restriction on the border by increasing the number of guards on the Mexican border and constructing fences along some parts of the border has stopped several prospective refugees. 33 But this restriction cannot be sustained due to the economic crunch being faced by different countries and another reason is the family relations that cause people...

It is quite ironic as enforcement has increased the risk and expenditure of crossing the border line, several illegal refugees stay even longer. 34 Majority of the refugees who once entered U.S. repeatedly have now become permanent residents (Johnson and Hill, 2011).
Furthermore, this border regulation has no impact on the considerable rate of illegal immigrants who come to this country by legitimate means, for instance with a visit visa, and then stay for longer period of time or infringe the rules of their visa. Whether this increase in border security along with the scrutiny in the interior enforcement can result in sustained decreases in the number of refugees or not is yet to be seen. Virtually every policymaker and observer approve of the fact that our present federal immigration policies needs to be changed on an urgent basis. Congress has received numerous proposals to resolve the problem of illegal immigration. Several proposals focus chiefly on enforcement along with the placement of a fence on the U.S.-Mexico borderline and the refusal of citizenship to the children of illegal citizens even if they were born in America.

Other proposals aim at passing laws and reducing the cost for extraditing illegal citizens which reaches billions (Johnson and Hill, 2011).

Costs of Mass Deportation strategy

If mass extradition was followed then it would take many years to deport all illegal citizens. In order to calculate the entire cost of this strategy, it is assumed that a minimum of "ve-year will be taken.

Every cost mentioned in the sections above is conventionally calculated once in order to recognise and deport each illegal citizen from United States. Considering that these goals were achievable even then the government's order pertaining to immigration during and after mass extradition would not be eliminated.

It should be noted that there was a rise in enforcement budgets of about 80%. The initial FY 2005 budget was $9.5 billion and it reached up to $17.1 billion in FY 2010.

Continuing enforcement costs

The massive expenditure will remain a burden…
