  • “By refusing to enforce the laws against illegal immigration, President Obama’s immigration policies collectively undermine the integrity of our immigration system and send the message to the world that our laws can be violated with impunity.”
  • “The bills introduced by Representatives Trey Gowdy (R-SC), chair of the Subcommittee on Immigration and Border Security, Lamar Smith (R-Texas) -- the former chairman of the House Judiciary Committee – Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Chairman Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah),

  • President can’t shut down immigration enforcement
  • “For decades, Americans have been promised a secure border and an immigration system that works for all Americans,” Gowdy said in a statement, stressing that, “Those promises have not been kept and both political parties bear responsibility for that. This legislation allows state and local governments to assist in the enforcement of our federal immigration laws. By doing so, we remove the ability of this or future Presidents – of either party – to systematically shut down portions of the law to suit their political purposes.”
  • During a House Judiciary Committee hearing earlier this month, Smith described The Legal Workforce Act as a tool that “turns off the jobs magnet that attracts so many illegal immigrants to the United States.”
  • “administration’s rubberstamping of fraudulent applications and policies, and effectively ends ‘catch and release,’” he stated.

      This focuses on the opinions on these new bills to reform Immigration reforms that attempt to overturn Obama's immigration policies.

    Bills are introduced to strengthen interior enforcement of immigration laws. This is slightly in response to Obama's call for immigration reform and his policies to make these changes. However, these bills are made to make immigration enforcement more strict, while Obama's policies attempted to weaken the enforcement of these laws. This is a large political war with democrats siding with Obama and his policies and Republicans siding with these new bills.

    Interesting regulations on alcohol in Utah, which are part of Utah's public policy. Some of these are a bit ridiculous (in my opinion). This is another example of the blind relation between church and state. Legally, it is not linked. However, the policy makers apply their religious beliefs into the law. There is a clear relation between the state and the Mormon faith. There are certain rules like: restaurants or bars have to keep a curtain over the location of the alcohol...

    Again, this is not a formal or scholastic article. However it gives a pretty good idea on the policy making system in Utah... PS: I need help finding articles that are more formal.
