From the Paper:

"The two most significant policies associated with immigration in the United States reflect concerns for illegal aliens. The first concern is that illegal residents in the country are not subjected to the same social responsibilities as legal citizens. President Bush has, therefore, provided a proposal that will address the issue. The second concern exists with the issue of illegal border crossings. A new policy has already been enacted that provides 6,000 National Guard troops to assist with border related issues. While the debate over immigration continues in the nation, these two issues are beginning to establish new policies and procedures for the United States."
