Immigration and Naturalization Service v Delgado analysis

The law on naturalization has received more reviews since the time when the only requisite was to speak in English in 1906 to the point when more adjustments had to be done to be able to counter the increasing immigration through the Immigration Act of 1990 that established the federal government as the arbiter of the naturalization policy. It established a natural bureau of immigration that created uniform naturalization laws for all the states (Olson & Allan, 2002). Prior to 1906, an alien could be made a citizen in any court in the USA but later after the repeal, the law was changed to only the courts with a seal and a clerk and that exerted universal competence. These changes progressed into more sophisticated ones due to the increasing development worldwide. To be noted is that earlier in the immigration to the USA, only whites were allowed to get naturalized but with time the law became accommodative to include Africans too.

Only one of the factories’ manager allowed the INS to do the research while the other two were conducted without the consent of the management. The case started at the district courts all the way to the Supreme Court owing to the appeals that were placed in the same concern. The Federal District Courts rendered a verdict that the surveys did not result in the seizure of the entire workforces and the questioning of the employees was not followed by the detention of employees (Navarro, 1985). The courts of appeal on the other side said that the survey included the investigation of all the employees and that the INS could not interrogate an individual without a good reason for suspicion. Arguments in Favor of the Verdict First, as the law states, the INS could not interrogate any individual without an order of the law and without clear reasons for suspecting the individual.

As earlier said that the activities of the factories were not stopped during the survey, the issue of individual interrogation could be of concern if one was unlawfully detained but according to the testimonies offered by the workers, no one was arrested without evidence. The only strong weapon that could be used against the INS agents is if the encounter was humiliating or violating any human rights but as testified this did not happen as the encounter was proven to be classic in its own way and therefore did not seize any of their rights. These opinions of the court prove that the survey was free and fair and the attempts of the union and the affected legal aliens were to some point proven to be of little importance. The courts stood with INS as having done no breach to the law and therefore was rendered claimless.

This was not that clear since there were some mistakes realized that the INS agents had committed. The employees could not freely move in the factories even to the other pars that were outside the building they were found in, not forgetting that in two of the industries there was no consent of the management, which gives the individual workers reasons to be worried (Navarro, 1985). The seizure was therefore evident and real as much as their conscience was involved and therefore this should be a reason enough to sue the INS as they did. Many of the activities of the factories were paralyzed as a result of this perception by the employees. The verdict rendered by the court of appeal was, therefore, valid and had enough reasons to be abided by although the contrasting side had more evidence.

The Fourth Amendment provides that an individual is protected against a search but the protection is not an absolute protection. It could be a breach if the officers did not have a search warrant and just flocked into their organizations without a good reason. Another prove of the fairness of the actions of the INS is the fact that no innocent, that is legally residing alien, was detained through the whole process (Justia, 2018). They, therefore, are justified and legally had all the rights to carry on with their investigations whether with the consent of the management or without, which they achieved success. This is clear since only Delgado and two other workers filed the suit against them. References Flores, J. com/cases/federal/us /466/210/ Navarro, Cristina A.
