...Immigrants crossing the border is a problem that the United States of America has had for a long time. The biggest problem is in the south, with the drug dealer and people trafficking. Duncan Hunter a United States representative from the 52nd District of California believes: “Government bureaucracy has been an obstacle to building the fencing needed to secure our borders even though it has both the technology and manpower needed. The Department of Homeland Security has indicated its intention to build 370 miles of border fencing even though the Secure Fence Act calls for more than double that length.” Hunter supports the building of a wall that separates the United States from Mexico. He believes that this is the solution to the problem that the United States has with illegal immigrants. The problem should be contain to the other side and will keep the people on the United States borders more safe. With only a small portion of the proposed wall build, he argues the United States government to finish building the wall. I believe this the wrong way to solve the problem with the illegal immigrate and drug trafficking problem. If the wall is build, the illegal immigrants will simply climb over it or under it. With the drug trafficking, if there is a market for the drug here, the drug dealers will find a way to bring drugs in. Making drug harder to get into the United States just makes it more profitable for the drugs lords. “Border fencing has proven to be an effective...

...that retail operations be “ring-fenced” by 2019. A separate legal entity within a bank’s corporate group is to be established to provide retail and commercial banking services in the UK. Ring-fencing similar to the ‘swaps push out’ requirement in the U.S., which separates derivatives trading businesses from banking activities. Further, under the Volcker Rule, banks are to be prohibited from proprietary trading as well as investing in or sponsoring hedge funds and private equity funds. The ring-fencing recommendations by the ICB focus on insulating core essential banking services from potential losses caused by other activities, i.e., the riskier activities will otherwise be left intact within a non-retail investment banking structure. The ICB recommendations are only one small step short of a full Glass-Steagal separation of retail and investment banking in calling for operational, economic and legal separation. While this may improve safety of retail banks, it is a paradigm shift for bank structures and will come at a cost. In many respects the recommendations will create a bank model as purposed by Glass-Steagal (before its repeal in 1999): a style of retail banking where it is perceived as more of a basic utility with low return on equity for shareholders. To comply with the ring-fencing requirements, banks will need to fundamentally overhaul their business models. Essentially banks will need to create another bank within their bank with new boards and systems. This will come...

...Is fencing at the U.S.-Mexico border an effective immigration policy? Although the fence will channel the illegal immigrants to the areas where border patrol can seize them, it is not an effective immigration policy. The fence is not able to keep illegal immigrants from going around it, climbing over it, or digging under it; furthermore, it only covers one-third of the border. The US Mexico border is roughly 2,000 miles long. The fence, constructed by The Department of Homeland Security, is 18 feet high, 700 miles long, and built mostly near urban areas. A fence alone is not the solution because there are so many ways to overcome the obstacle, going to the areas not fenced, vehicle smuggling, and climbing. The other accessible way around the fence is to dig under it. Global Security.org has sited 40 tunnels were being burrowed under the fence between 2001 and 2006. The main reason I believe the reason the fencing is not an effective immigration policy is because there is not the manpower to monitor all the fence points. There is no way to have all the people needed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to make sure no one is entering our country illegally. What draws these immigrants to make such a risk to cross the border into the United States? They believe they can make more money to send to their families in Mexico. They also believe, because we are a free country, we have more to offer them than their county. We are “the land of the free, home of the brave.” ...

...HSBC is concerning the new headquarters location because of two huge reasons: the bank ring-fencing rules and the rising tax levy launched by UK government (CityA.M., 2015). The ring-fencing rules means to separate deposit-holding retail banking from investing bank, which rise the capital needed when no capital flow freely between these two kinds of bank (CityA.M., 2015). The 11 criteria are used by HSBC to estimate which city to stay (Reuters, 2015). “Economic importance and future growth” between these three countries are obvious that Hong Kong is enjoying the benefits of rapid development of Asian countries ($14.9 trillion between 2014 and 2025).

...Community Problem Solving Law enforcement is a constantly changing organization. As society grows more diverse, population increases, technology becomes more advanced, and criminals become smarter, the methods of policing must adapt and overcome. The current strategy for policing is referred to as Community Oriented Policing and Problem Solving (COPPS). Since the late 1970s early 1980s COPPS began gaining ground and momentum with involving and building relationships among communities in the effort to reduce and prevent crime. “The community policing model balances reactive responses to calls for service with proactive problem-solving centered on the causes of crime and disorder. Community policing requires police and citizens to join together as partners in the course of both identifying and effectively addressing these issues” (Fisher-Stewart, 2007, pg.4). Eucalyptus Ridge, a small community in Lakeside, is home to only military families. Most would image that a military housing community would be the one place that is free from crime. However, that is not the case for this community. Being located approximately 7 miles away from Barona Resort and Casino, Eucalyptus Ridge sits right off Highway 67. There was a time when the wandering (and most often slightly inebriated) trouble-makers drifted into the community looking for opportunities. The community is also not gated creating even more temptations for law breakers to come inside and do as they please. With no police or fire...

...as an improvement in the quality of life” CPTED works by eliminating criminal opportunities in and around your property. By getting your property “right,” a criminal may avoid giving it a second and closer look. This keeps your property safer by decreasing crime opportunity. HOW CAN I MAKE MY PROPERTY SAFER? CPTED need not be expensive or difficult to apply and simply involves taking advantage of your property’s natural surveillance, access control and territorial potential. A NATURAL SURVEILLANCE REVIEW In order to proceed, start by taking a fresh look at your property’s natural surveillance potential. Ask yourself the following questions: • Are views from neighboring properties or streets obscured by landscaping or fencing? • Are there any adult or juvenile-sized hiding spots around my doors or windows? • Are there areas of contrast and shadow around my building where intruders can linger undetected? • Are there any dark areas on my street that could hide an intruder, undetected? If you answered “yes” to any...

...Many animals have died trying to get passed a highway or a road because people can not stop to let animals pass across to safety. Many places have tried to make animal crossings but not many have fully succeeded the way they thought it would turn out to be. There has been many problems with the crossings and the turtles just refusing to use them. Studies show that if we build better fencing then the tortoises and other animals would have a better chance at living and become less known to as roadkill. Many people and many places has tried different methods. Examples would be fencing around the sides of the road and underground crossing. Many projects have been experimented with and have been improved on to help wildlife. Studies show...

...Protection Plan for the PBMC Condominium Association Understanding that there is a growing problem on construction sites with thieveries and defacement it’s very important to have a proper perimeter protection. This is such an imperative proposal for the company. A perimeter protection has many designs benefits. It has been found that thieves are targeting larger equipment parts that are costing companies thousands of dollars and even tens of thousands at some point. Even the smaller tools and nice equipment that are stolen still require the money and the time that takes away from the organizations operation. Therefore, it is apparent that in order to protect property and save money on lost products the company need the best and most efficient. Now recent research has acquired that cameras are really good for deterring burglars as well as playing as a good investigative tool for criminal acts. However, even though the cameras help serve as an aid to recover of some property, the damage and destruction is still done. Also perimeter fencing is very popular as well, however because of the fact that the fencing is only used for a temporary manner it can easily be dismounted, knocked over, or even climbed across. Even more, the thought of having guard dogs just opens up the alley of to many liabilities. In most cases insurance aids will not allow guard dogs as a claim. However, if that wasn’t the case then guard dogs would be a great deterrent. All in all these risk could potentially...

...| 1 | It’s really too bad that turtles can’t read. | 2 | If they did, it would make saving them so much easier. When people create an ecopassage1 so the reptiles can safely cross a road by going underneath or over it, they could let the animals know with little signs saying “Don’t become roadkill! Safe crossing, left 20 meters.” | 3 | Instead, we have to rely on fencing to keep the turtles and snakes off roads, which is a good idea because 98 percent or more of turtles are killed in their first attempt at a road crossing. But the reliance on fences may be a problem, a new study shows. When there aren’t effective fences to keep the reptiles out, they don’t use the ecopassages, James Baxter-Gilbert of Laurentian University in Sudbury, Ontario, and colleagues report March 25 in PLOS ONE. | 4 | The study looked at the effectiveness of a series of ecopassages built along a 13-kilometer stretch of Highway 69/40 near Burwash, Ontario, near Lake Huron, a region with high reptile biodiversity. The passages ran beneath the highway and were paired with fencing along the road. The researchers looked at reptile activity along the roadway before and after the project was constructed, and also used another stretch of highway, near the Magnetawan First Nation, as a comparison. | 5 | They surveyed the roadside and put up cameras in the ecopassages to see what kind of animals used the crossings. They captured Blanding’s turtles and snapping turtles...

...Illegal Immigration COM 220 Illegal Immigration According to Penalver (2006), “ “During the half of The Nineteenth Century the government of the United States hoped to use its vast Western territories to pay the national debt by auctioning the lands to the highest bidders normally Northeastern settlers.” These settlers used to disappear for a while to proclaimed, trespassed the land to farm it illegally and take the soil back once the federal troops were gone until the situation became tiring and the soil was ultimately sold for ridiculous prices. Later, “on December 12, 1815, President James Madison issued a proclamation warning: uninformed or evil disposed persons, who have unlawfully taken possession of or made any settlement on the public lands forthwith to remove the reform" or face ejection by the army and criminal prosecution. But that didn't stop the settlers. In 1838, Henry Clay, expressing a widely shared sentiment, dismissed the squatters as a "lawless rabble." The 1862 Homestead Act granted free title to settlers who met the statute's five-year-residency and improvement requirements. In one of the great ironies of American history, the lawless squatters underwent a dramatic image makeover to become, in the gauzy romanticism of our collective memory, heroic settlers” Illegal immigration is an act that should be penalized by federal laws since every body should follow the standard regulations of the law. The ironic part here is that some of those people...

...vehicles, fuel always prepared, and other necessities for the automobiles. The FTF includes staff offices, classrooms, an armory, weapon cleaning and several computer-based shooting simulation stations. The facility also includes an outdoor range a quarter mile away from the FTF consisting of four pistol ranges and one rifle range with a self-contained bullet traps. While observing the outline of the facilities, I have noticed many areas are in need to be addressed in regards to security and safety. Security Issues When looking at the exterior of these two facilities, I have noticed that there are quite a few flaws. These flaws seem to be easy to take care of when addressing these problems properly. The problems are lack of security cameras and the absence of fencing. These are big problems due to the fact that it could be a gateway to physical plant intrusion, property damage and personal security issues. With housing and roadways being so...

...We need immigration reform in America. The current system protects neither the immigrant from unlawful work practices, nor the American worker from lower wages. Donald Trump focuses on the American worker’s side, and he would be the first to say that we have a tremendous problem. His website states that Americans have lost countless jobs, our infrastructure is falling apart, and we continue to support illegal immigrants and send foreign aid to Mexico (“Immigration Reform”). While almost everyone in America agrees that immigration reform needs to happen, experts are united in the belief that Donald Trump’s plan is not the best way to do that, and there are several reasons. Donald Trump’s proposal is fight back against the Mexican government....
