Understanding the history of military service by immigrants, as well as the legal barriers to the enlistment of skilled foreign-born residents, leads us to clear policy recommendations for President Trump and Congress to consider. Today, approximately 40,000 immigrants serve in the armed forces, and approximately 5,000 noncitizens enlist each year. As of 2016, about 511,000 veterans were foreign-born. Throughout U.S. history, many immigrants have served with distinction and are among those who have received the highest military honors. More than 20 percent of Medal of Honor recipients are immigrants. Going forward, the net growth in the U.S. population of 18- to 29-year-olds — the segment of the population most likely to enlist — will come entirely from immigrants and the children of immigrants. With the economy having recovered from the recession of the late 2000s, for the military to recruit young people successfully, each military branch must have access to the largest potential pool of qualified candidates.

    Testimony of Margaret Stock on Securing Our Borders Under a Temporary Guest Worker Program Statement of Margaret D. Stock American Immigration Lawyers Association Assistant Professor of Law, Department of Law, US Military Academy, West Point, NY On Securing Our Borders Under a Temporary Guest Worker Program Before the Senate Judiciary Committee Subcommittee on Immigration, Border Security, and Citizenship April 1, 2004 Washington, D.C. Mr. Chairman and distinguished Members of the Subcommittee, my name is Margaret Stock. I am honored to be here in two capacities: on behalf of the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) and as an expert in the field of constitutional, military, national security, and comparative law. I am an Assistant Professor at the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York. The statements, opinions, and views expressed herein are my own, and do not represent the views of the United States Military Academy, the Department of the Army, or the Department of Defense. AILA is the immigration bar association with more than 8,500 members who practice immigration law. Founded in 1946, the association is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization and is an affiliated organization of the American Bar Association (ABA). AILA members represent tens of thousands of American families who have applied for permanent residence for their spouses, children, and other close relatives to lawfully enter and reside in the United States; U.S. businesses, universities, colleges, and industries that sponsor highly skilled foreign professionals seeking to enter the United States on a temporary basis or, having proved the unavailability of U.S. workers when required, on a permanent basis; and healthcare workers, asylum seekers, often on a pro bono basis, as well as athletes, entertainers, exchange visitors, artists, and foreign students.

  • Creating a Robust and Secure US Refugee Protection System a Symposium Presented by the Center for Migration Studies of New York
    Creating a Robust and Secure US Refugee Protection System A Symposium Presented by the Center for Migration Studies of New York Tuesday, June 3, 2014 Center for Migration Studies 307 E. 60th Street, 6th Floor New York, NY 10022 10:00 am to 5:30 pm Protection of those fleeing or at-risk of persecution, torture, or extreme danger represents a centerpiece of international and US immigration law. It also constitutes one of the most pressing and unattended challenges in the US immigration field. The US refugee protection system, broadly understood to encompass refugees, asylum-seekers, and non-citizens in need of short-term protection, has ambitious goals and diverse responsibilities. It seeks to screen, admit and promote the integration of refugees; to adjudicate political asylum cases; and to offer temporary protection to persons from designated countries. It also seeks to detect and prevent the admission of persons that raise national security, public safety, and fraud concerns. To address the need for concentrated academic and policy attention to this pillar of the US immigration system and the international system of refugee protection, the Center for Migration Studies of New York (CMS) is publishing a series of papers on the US refugee protection system that will offer recommendations to strengthen and reform the system. The series is made possible through the support of the Carnegie Corporation of New York. Papers will be published on-line and in a special print edition of CMS’s public policy journal, the Journal on Migration and Human Security (http://jmhs.cmsny.org). This event will feature presentations by the authors and other experts on challenges and recommendations related to territorial access, refugee resettlement, political asylum, temporary protection, the stateless, migrants in “crisis,” unaccompanied minors, and other populations at particular risk.
