A GENERAL STATEMENT ON THE MAGNITUDE OF THE PROBLEM; SIX PROPOSED STUDIES TO MEASURE DIFFERENT ASPECTS OF ALIEN FINANCIAL POWER, POPULATION MOVEMENT AND DEMOGRAPHY; AND STUDIES TO MEASURE ALIEN IMPACT ON OUR SOCIETY.

Abstract

THE PRESENT STATE OF KNOWLEDGE CONCERNING EACH OF THOSE FIVE ASPECTS OF THIS SUBJECT IS INDICATED, AND VARIOUS METHODS OF EXPANDING KNOWLEDGE IN THOSE AREAS ARE EXPLORED AND EVALUATED. SIX STUDIES ARE SPECIFICALLY PROPOSED: RESIDENT AND INDUSTRIAL SURVEYS, TO DETERMINE THE STOCK OF ILLEGALS; METHODS FOR DETERMINING THE FLOW OF EWI'S (ENTRY WITHOUT INSPECTION) (BY MANIPULATION OF BORDER STAFFING PATTERNS AND USE OF SENSOR STATISTICS), THE FLOW OF FAULTY DOCUMENT HOLDERS AND THAT OF VISA ABUSERS; AND, LASTLY, A STUDY OF THE CHARACTERISTICS OF ILLEGALS. THE ISSUE OF ILLEGAL ALIENS IS CONSIDERED WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF IMMIGRATION POLICIES AND PRACTICES; THE ROLES, OPERATIONS AND INTER-RELATIONS OF RELEVANT GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES ARE SKETCHED; AND ALTERNATIVE DOMESTIC AND FOREIGN POLICIES ARE BRIEFLY DISCUSSED. THE REPORT CONCLUDES WITH A SERIES OF OUTLINES OF STUDIES OF THE IMPACTS OF ILLEGALS ON VARIOUS ASPECTS OF OUR SOCIETY, AND ON THEMSELVES. (AUTHOR ABSTRACT)
