Abstract
The paper looks at the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) division that is responsible for monitoring and managing legal and illegal immigration. The paper examines the varied role of the agency in addressing illegal immigration, and discusses the detaining and returning of illegal immigrants, the enforcement of immigration laws in the workplace, the control of illegal firearms and gang enforcement. The paper notes that illegal immigration is only one of the many issues facing the Department of Homeland Security, but it is a serious one that draws great debate around the country.

Detention
Workplace Enforcement

Gangs and Gang Activity
Illegal Immigration Reforms

From the Paper
"Illegal immigration is also a threat to national security. Terrorists can enter a foreign country easier than they could enter the United States, and then cross into the U.S. through the border with Canada or Mexico. That is why ICE is also tasked with monitoring international terrorist activity and watching for terrorists entering Canada or Mexico and then attempting to cross illegally into the U.S. To help manage the borders, ICE has created the Border Enforcement Security Task Forces (BEST), which work with the Border Patrol to control cross-border crime, and they arrested thousands of criminals and illegals in the past year. ICE has 12 BEST teams working along the American borders, including in the seaports of Miami, Florida and Long Beach, California (Torres, 2009)."

Abstract
This paper presents a brief look at the beginnings and evolution of the Nazi concentration camps. The writer looks at the original purpose of these camps and at their evolution into death camps. The writer also argues that the Jewish people were not the only victims and the prisoners were not just Jews. The writer points out that righteous people, trying to stand up for the rights of their fellow man and people of many different ethnicities and religions were all victims of the Nazi campaign. The writer concludes that World War II and the Jewish Holocaust changed humanity.

From the Paper
"World War II and the Jewish Holocaust is remembered as the darkest moment of humanity in recent history. It is generally believed that the Nazi party, under the leadership of Adolf Hitler, was on a quest to rid the world of Jewish people. The pictures of starving men and women in German concentration camps are probably remembered most. Most people believe that those men and women are the poor Jews hated by all Germans. However, the persecution included people of many faiths and ethnicities. The truth of the matter is that the camps were not originally planned to be extermination plants, and actually for the first few years only a small percentage of prisoners were Jewish."

Abstract
This paper explains that correctional boot camps for troubled teenagers are therapeutic in-prison and outside programs "that resemble military basic training. They emphasize vigorous physical activity, drill and ceremony, manual labor and other activities" (Ashcroft, Daniels & Hart 2). Every aspect of behavior is subject to strict rules. The paper also discusses the numerous potential benefits that can be produced by these programs such as character development, instilling a sense of responsibility, the promotion of positive self-image, and occasionally reduced recidivism rates to facilities for young offenders. Boot camps can produce attitudinal and behavior change as well as improved coping skills.

Abstract
This paper presents to the reader the importance of organized summer camps and programs in youth development. A special emphasis throughout the paper is placed on the influence of recreation on child development and personal growth. By defining the effect of the summer camp experience and presenting relevant statistics from reputable opinion leaders, this paper reveals that summer camp programs play a significant role in the youth development. There are three key development areas discussed in this paper, which include social skills, self-identity and physical/ health.

From the Paper
"Camps offer the opportunity for attendees to gain a wide exposure to different people in different walks of life. Campers come from diverse socio-economic classes, different backgrounds and different family structures. Therefore, the development of compassion and empathy for fellow human beings is a core social development area. Camps offer children opportunities to share stories around a campfire, to contribute their thoughts, ideas and suggestions. As children acknowledge the thoughts and feelings of other children, it is natural to develop compassion for each other. Learning to be understanding, to be civil and accepting of other individuals will aid campers in social situations as they grow older and particularly as they become adults."

Abstract
This paper explores the revenue streams available to non-profit and for-profit summer camps. The author emphasizes the need to diversify revenue streams as much as possible while simultaneously building professional and personal relationships within the local community. The paper suggests that a close attention to detail can have great rewards down the road.

From the Paper
"Types of funding for non-profit and profit recreational summer camps There are a variety of different funding mechanisms in place for non-profit and profit-based recreational summer camps; it is simply a matter of digging sufficiently to find what revenue streams are most viable for your organization - and what revenue streams are most dependable. This research paper explores several avenues that are available to summer camp directors eager to ensure that the future of his or her camp is not compromised by a lack of finances. As should become apparent, the more revenue streams that a camp is able to tap into, the more likely it is that that camp will be able to survive the inevitable vicissitudes of government and state funding that inevitably arise. With that in mind, it is to a discussion of summer camp funding that this paper now turns."

Abstract
The paper begins by identifing the threats and vulnerabilities of the network and then explores in detail the building blocks of network security, that include security policies, firewalls, Internet Protocol Security (IPSec), and virtual private networking. The paper points out that the end result of network security is not a mere "secure system" per se, but rather the achievement of information security governance. The writer of the paper also advises an organization and the individual to make security a culture and a lifestyle.

Conclusion

From the Paper
"The information systems comprise the hardware, software, network, data, people and processes. These components of the information systems environment are interdependent and are synergized to provide the necessary services in the computing environment. Absent any of the components, then the full functioning of the system would be less than viable. Thus, the primary role of the information systems environment is to provide the needed data and information via digital mode whenever required. Especially nowadays, the Internet is one of the key infrastructures of the information systems environment and it enable business and personal users the necessary tools, technology and processes that "reengineered" how things are done."

Abstract
This paper discusses how both Congress and interest groups are constantly looking in to new ways to ensure the safety of passengers in the various modes of travel currently available since the 9/11 terrorist attacks. It looks at how Congress and the President have created the Transportation Security Administration and passed new laws in an effort to protect American travelers and how the courts are starting to become active in travel security by awarding large settlements to victims of hotels that don't provide adequate protection. It examines such issues as Congress and air-travel, lapses in security, transport on buses, trains and boats and issues regarding traveling with children and evaluates the air travel security law which addresses having additional air marshals on flights and replacing security screeners with a federal agency, but requires airports to install full explosive detection systems by the end of 2002.

From the Paper
In response to the Congressional mandate of strengthening aviation security, President Bush appointed John W. Magow to the newly created Transportation Security Administration (Nakashima A07). Magow "a former director of the Secret Service and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (Nakashima A07)" was working with the Federal Emergency Management Agency as the executive director of the Office of National Preparedness (Nakashima A07). Magow, whose new title is undersecretary of transportation for security, was appointed with little opposition. He is now responsible for all civil aviation security functions as mandated by Congress."

From the Paper
"Visualize a world without cars, a world without telephones, and a world without television. Without these technologies we, as a society, would be almost paralyzed. We would have difficulty to move, difficulty to communicate, and difficulty to get information. It is thus apparent how fundamental technology is to the survival of our civilization. Technology is an integral part of our society. It is in the movies we watch. It is in the food we eat. It is all over the world that we live in. It encompasses everything that forms our lives. Technology is important because of the basic fact that it brings about tremendous benefits to mankind. Thus, with all these conveniences and advantages that technology brings to us it is difficult to imagine a world without it."

Abstract
This paper discusses how, due to military necessity, 120,000 Japanese Americans were unjustly interned in 1942, permanently scarring America, and creating a future precedence. The paper argues that this was an unjustified response to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.
Surprisingly, the paper points out, many of the internees proved that they were able to make the best of a bad situation. Furthermore, despite the unfair treatment, a select few Japanese Americans were still willing to fight for their country and eventually became part of the most decorated unit in American history, the "Purple Heart Battalion". The paper concludes that this story proves that even in the face in adversity, people can do great things.

Conclusion

From the Paper
"Education was another serious concern among the camps. Schools had to be set up quickly, and materials were in short supply. Most schools opened around October, an unusual month compared to normal schools. In Wyoming, "A block of barracks was set aside for use as classrooms. Books did not arrive until December and then only in limited numbers. If a student had homework, he or she had to check out the textbook for the evening. Paper and pencils were also in short supply. The chalkboard was a piece of plywood painted black. Students sat on benches, and though some teachers had a table, others used boxes for desks. Students who sat in the front of the classroom near the potbellied stoves roasted, while those who sat in the back wore coats to keep from freezing. The open ceilings made for continuous distractions as the noise from one classroom invaded adjacent rooms." Other camps had it even worse though, holding classes in dinning halls, which proved to be both noisy and crowded. Teachers were also extremely hard to come by, but were appreciated when they did. Students were eager to learn and naturally cooperative. Later in the years, real schools began to appear complete with libraries, auditoriums, and even wood shops. To make things even better, "Graduates from the high schools in the relocation centers who qualified for colleges and universities, went to these schools in the mid-west and east coast states, usually on full scholarships. By the end of the war, many of these "students" were ready to graduate with college degrees and enter the job market at the same time the returning service men were just getting ready to enter college." So many people received college degrees that many camps were even able hold reunions for the students."
