Villarrell The Branches of the Unites States Government IP2 The United States Constitution has ensured that the US government is divided into three separate branches-the executive, the legislative and the judicial, so there would be checks and balances and that neither one branch can abuse the power vested in it. However in times of war, emergency or a gridlock over a policy decision, the president can use his presidential powers to bypass the other two branches of the government and every president has issued executive decrees. For instance, President Obama has issued presidential orders ...

Through that there is an economic and cultural integration and merging that positively influences members of ...

Events that led to the influx of refugees in Turkey

The Arab Spring that was experienced in African countries like Egypt, Tunisia and Libya, inspired the protest against President Bashar Hafez al-Assad’s government in March 2011. The government, in response, sent its forces to contain the protest, and as a result, Syria plunged into civil war (Carpenter 2). As the war continued, alliances, mini-alliances and shifts took place throughout the region, and this led to a complex situation as the war developed dimensions involving Islamic extremists, Assad’s government, rebel groups and ethnic groups. In July 2011, defectors from the Syrian army organized a Free Syrian Army and ...

Small businesses assist in the generation of economic growth in every country. They represent a high percentage of all the employer firms in a given state. The outputs of the small businesses make up the large part of the gross domestic products (McFarland, Mcconnell and Geary 1). In those countries where the impact of the small business to the economy is so high, the leaders formulate more laws to support the interests of the small businesses. It is evident that for the opportunities of the small enterprises to be facilitated, there should be an environment with an efficient regulatory ...

The United-States of America is a country that has always favored immigration. Since its founding to the early twentieth century, it has had practically open borders. With this policy of favoring immigration, the United-States has greatly increased its population, its standard of living, and its per capita income. The historical success of American immigration policies supports the view that it should continue to support the idea of integrating new waves of immigrants. It is plausible that doing so will lead the United-States to even greater prosperity. While there are many who believe that immigration should be curtailed, in this ...

Immigration policy in the U.S has evolved over the years, yet it has failed to address pertinent issues with regard to immigration, especially illegal immigration, which has continued to rise; a new policy approach would be necessary if the problems bedeviling immigration are to be addressed. America’s immigration policy has over the decades been a major public policy issue, especially during the peaks of election cycles. The immigration policy has by no means been harmonized in the country’s history. As a testament to this, the purview of immigration policy has more often than not been left to ...

Sanctuary cities have increasingly captured the public eye in recent history. Most distressing has been the recent murder of 32 year old Kathryn Steinle by Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez, an illegal immigrant in San Francisco recently released from prison . The murder has caused issue because, “in the eyes of staunch immigration-enforcement advocates,” Lopez-Sanchez’ murder of Steinle is the direct result of liberal cities’ policies of protecting undocumented immigrants through a patchwork of laws surrounding the topic . The issue has been exacerbated by the recent rhetoric of some Republican presidential candidates, such as Donald trump, who “blamed immigration policy for Kate ...
