From the Paper:

"Immigration is one of the most important elements confronting the United States in terms of public policies taking into account that this policy has received wide attention in particular in the 2008 election due to the increase in the number of illegal immigrants. The focus has been on the ideas promoted in particular by the Republicans and the Democrats which argue differently on the matter. Still, it is important to consider these perspectives because they are the ones which will determine the direction of the new policies concerning immigration."
