Immigration policy has been one of the most widely discussed issues over the last decades. There is no doubt that the successful integration of immigrants into the current social context is of vital significance for any governmental performance. Therefore, the question arises of how strict the boundaries of should be carried out strategy and who is to be in charge of controlling the immigration process handling. Experience has proven that there is often a noticeable gap between the establishment of the line of the immigration policy and the real performance aimed at its realization. Therefore, the local authorities must be in close cooperation with the law enforcement community so that they can set the directions for its activity, monitor the relevant results, and make the necessary allowances. Nevertheless, the police’s involvement in the improvement of the general migration environment is rather problematic. It seems to be well-explicable why immigrants, particularly those who experience certain problems with required legal documents, show reluctance in collaborating with the local policemen.

However, as it later turned out, many of those states, who were against the immigration policy enforcement with the help of the police members, are now applying for the lawmen’s assistance to settle down the unregistered immigrants’ problem (Lewis & Ramakrishnan, 2007). One should point out, that to encourage the police’s participation in the immigration process’s control the department has obtained a series of powers and authority. First of all, many state governments have authorized the police forces to perform vigorous activity aimed at identifying the causes of illegal immigration. These actions are supposed to be carried out in close collaboration with the immigration authorities at the federation level. Secondly, the laws enacted by Congress, enabling the police to perform arrests of the immigrants who have already been accused of immigration law violating.
