This is an excerpt from the paper...
Immigration has been on the American national agenda for some time, with many complaining that immigration is out of hand and that limitations on immigration are needed. One issue is whether too many people are coming from certain regions of the world, or whether those who are coming are sufficiently prepared to take their place in the American economic system.

* The 1996 law further sought to forbid federal judges from reviewing the status of these individuals. The Board of Immigration Appeals not long ago affirmed in a 7 5 decision that an immigration judge's ruling that he could not stay a Nicaraguan's deportation because the law denied these judges that authority was correct.
