Position Paper Delegate: CXJ School: University of Electronic Science and Technology of China Country: The United States of America Committee: ECOSOC Topic A: Global Immigration and Integration

Global migration has become a irresistible and driving trend throughout the world. As the number of global migrants has been mounting sharply, migration patterns change from traditional patterns (which mainly caused by temperature, breeding, economic, political, family re-unification, natural disaster, poverty or the wish to change one’s surroundings voluntarily) to a more complex patterns fueled by changing economic, demographic, social and political conditions. The rise in global mobility, the growing complexity of migratory patterns and the impacts of such movements have been the focus of world attention. In spite of the tremendous increase of migrants, when it comes to integrations of immigrants, especially on the migrants’ rights and migration polices, the progress is not that satisfying. Integrating immigrants into their newfound society is an arduous journey, since it is a two-way street. In terms of language, legal status, employment and respecting local cultures, integration is still constrained in a tough dilemma, especially in the case of irregular migration, thus emphasis should be laid on considerable efforts and collaborations of all countries to improve such conditions. The United States of America holds that measures should be taken to ensure respect for and protection of the human rights of all migrants, with particular reference to woman and children, as well as to prevent and combat smuggling of migrants and trafficking in persons, and to ensure regular, orderly, and safe migration, and that a comprehensive framework with different institutional approaches and normative frameworks relating to specific aspects of migration, such as the human rights of migrants, smuggling of migrants, trafficking, refugees and asylum seekers, and labour migration is in an urgent need. Dating back to 1990, the General Assembly adopted the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families (ICRMW). In 2004, the International Labour Conference of the International Labour Organization (ILO), in the adoption of a Plan of Action for migrant workers, achieved consensus among its tripartite constituents (labour ministries, employers’ and workers’ organizations) on a rights-based approach to labour migration. In 2006, the Secretary-General established the Global Migration Group (GMG) with a view to increasing system-wide coherence. In 2006, upon the recommendation of the Secretary-General, the General Assembly held its first ever High-Level Dialogue on international migration and development. With all lessons learned since the last HLD 2006, the 2013 HLD bears great hope and expectations to find longer term solutions, commitments and institutional changes that address migration comprehensively at the global level. The 2nd United Nations High Level Dialogue on International Migration and Development took place on 3-4 October 2013. The HLD was successful and allowed governments to display a consensual view on the opportunities of migration for development, with a clear emphasis on the rights of migrants themselves. The United States of America has been constantly tailored its national laws and regulations to conform to the historical trend of immigration. Always feel the imperative to fix America’s Immigration System, to ensure economic and national security, to build a fair, effective and common sense immigration system that lives up to our heritage as a nation of laws and a nation of immigrants. The 1968 Act: Eliminated US immigration discrimination based on race, place of birth, sex and residence. It also officially abolished restrictions on Oriental US immigration. On August 1, 2001 The DREAM Act (acronym for Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors) provide conditional permanent residency to certain immigrants of good moral character who graduate from U.S. high schools, arrived in the United States as minors,
