The legacy INS attempted to provide both a service and control function, which made it difficult for INS investigators to fulfill their mission of interior enforcement of the immigration laws. Other problems that surfaced included organizational relations, as well as notions about professionalism, which affected recruitment, retention, training, and worker expectations. The creation of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) should have addressed these issues relating to immigration enforcement with the intent of solving some of the underlying problems. However, policies and ideological issues exacerbated efforts to enforce the immigration laws. The updated material in this third edition discusses how the interaction between an organization and the environment in which it operates, contributes to effectiveness with specific reference to the organization's stated mission, A review of immigration laws and agency policies, including executive orders, priorities, the impact of sanctuary cities, and consideration of the wider variables impacting illegal migration among other issues, were also analyzed. 610 10 $a United States. $b Immigration and Naturalization Service $v Case studies. 650 0 $a Criminal justice, Administration of $x Social aspects $z United States $v Case studies. 650 0 $a Illegal aliens $z United States $v Case studies. 650 0 $a Social control $z United States $v Case studies. 650 0 $a Immigration enforcement $z United States $v Case studies. 610 17 $a United States. $b Immigration and Naturalization Service. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00532653 650 7 $a Criminal justice, Administration of $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00883307 650 7 $a Illegal aliens. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00967153 650 7 $a Immigration enforcement. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01748828 650 7 $a Social control. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01122415 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a Case studies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423765 776 08 $i Online version: $a Weissinger, George. $t Law enforcement and the INS. $d Lanham, Maryland : Hamilton books, 2017. $z 9780761869023 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231019021954.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4619740CFAD211E7A45C351A97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
