Title: Foreign threats to national security and an alternative model to local enforcement of US immigration laws
Abstract: Abstract Recent attempts to commit terrorist attacks provide evidence of the continuing threat to the USA by foreign-born legal immigrants. Recent legislative changes to immigration policies, such as Arizona Immigration Bill 1070, call for increased involvement of local law enforcement. This bill has generated a strong negative reaction from both public special interest groups and police leadership, as those opposed to this type of legislation argue that it will have a detrimental impact on already fragile relationships between local law enforcement and immigrant communities. Other Western democratic countries have utilized alternative models to address their illegal immigration. The authors propose to explore the Netherlands Aliens Police as an alternative model to the Arizona Immigration Bill. Keywords: terrorismpoliceimmigrationlegislation Notes 1.
