Nováková, Iva ; Dvořáková, Vladimíra (advisor) ; Školkayová, Marta (referee)
The dissertation deals with immigration policy of the United States toward illegal immigration from Mexico during the presidency of George W. Bush. It aims to answer the question whether the policy had at all changed when compared to the previous administrations, and whether the terrorist attacks from 9/11 had any effect on the issue. The paper also discusses reasons why comprehensive immigration reform has not been accepted yet. In order to answer those questions, the thesis analyzes American perception of immigrants and characterizes interests of pressure groups and political parties in immigration.

Trafficking in human beings as a way of strengthening the market competitiveness of the Czech Republic?
Horáčková, Veronika ; Gráf, Václav (advisor) ; Chalupníček, Pavel (referee)
The thesis considers trafficking as a way of strengthening the market competitiveness of the Czech Republic. Contrary to wide-spread approach to this issue, only as to violation of the rights of victims, trafficking is examined from the side of entrepreneurs and from the side of impact on national competitiveness. In addition to factors affecting the national economy and the motivation of entrepreneurs is evaluated the efficiency of subsidies provided by the Ministry of the Interior to Programme of the support and protection for victims of trafficking. In the thesis is found out that the exploitation of trafficked persons increases competitiveness of the Czech Republic, because it fills gaps on the domestic labour market with no wage increases. For employers victims are flexible and low-cost source of labour force, which increases productivity of their firms, but they don't represent significant competition for legal workers in the country.

Analysis of measures to reduce illegal migration in the European Union and their impact on the Czech Republic
Žilová, Šárka ; Gráf, Václav (advisor) ; Doležalová, Antonie (referee)
This bachelor thesis responds to the situation incurred over the last two decades, when member states of the European Union, facing an influx of illegal migrants from third countries, have sought to confront this issue on both transnational and national levels. Through analysing European Union's legislative measures to persecute illegal migration and through recognising the results of alternative solutions applied under the respective national jurisdictions, the thesis concludes that a gradual liberalization of legal immigration seems to be a more appropriate instrument in tackling illegal migration than any restrictive measures. Consequently, recommendations are formulated from the obtained results, specifying how to improve the issue of illegal migration in the Czech Republic.

The Influence of Both Legal and Illegal Migration on the Internal Security of the Czech Republic and the Crisis Management
HAVEL, David
The issue associated with the migration of foreigners, with the positive and negative aspects that inevitably bring, is a phenomenon that can not be left unnoticed by the authorities, regardless of whether they are migrants residing at the territory of the Czech Republic legally or illegally. Especially nowadays, when most countries are in the global economic crisis, it is the issue that deserves proper attention (with due regard for the possible impacts on the internal security of the Czech Republic, the economy, the social sphere and the citizens´ behaviour). The Czech Republic is aware of the risks associated with the high flow of immigrants. As a proof of that is, that this area has been evaluated as one of the possible non-military threats (or crisis situations) and as such it was defined in the crisis planning as a part of the Plan called {\clq},The Migration Wave of a Large Extent`` drawn by the National Security Council. This work on the topic of The Influence of Both Legal and Illegal Migration on the Internal Security of the Czech Republic and the Crisis Management contains an interpretation of the basic concepts and the development trends in the field of migration in the theoretical part and it also defines the authorities resposinble for solving of the individual issues related to the migration of foreigners. The practical part contains a situational analysis of the presence of foreigners in the South-Bohemian Region compared with the Czech Republic and also the rate of criminal activities committed by foreigners also compared with the Czech Republic as a whole. The research was conducted between the years of 2003 and 2009.

Problems of the stay, illegal migration and criminality of foreigners in South Bohemia after entrance of the Czech republic to Schengen area.
ŠKOLKA, Michael
In the face of the Czech Republic becoming the central country of the Schengen Area, the situation in the field of legal and illegal migration has undergone considerable changes. Taking people over the state border has disappeared; however, some forms of migration have remained or even expanded. Today, the organisers of illegal migration use the Czech Republic more like a transit country. They now turned to ``more legal techniques{\crqq}, such as getting some types of visas (studying, work etc.), obtaining a residence permit based on fictitious weddings or established paternity to a Czech citizen, inviting personal or corporate entities and migrating by using false or altered personal documents. Creating effective policies and measures is essential in fighting against illegal migration. The EU member countries should focus on efficient returning of the illegally residing third world{\crq}s citizens, importantly by intensifying the cooperation with the countries of origin and transit. Furthermore, toughening the sanctions on employers who illegally take advantage of cheep workforce particularly from the Eastern bloc is also vital. Additionally, it is necessary to concentrate on integration of the foreigners in the social area as well as the economic one. The top-priority task should be using their original skills in their country of origin, with the secondary positive being the elimination of illegal employment in those several areas where the local workforce is deficient, resulting in foreigners being employed there without the necessary knowledge and work experience. Regarding the question of criminality of foreigners, I can see a solution in preventive measures as far as individuals are concerned and repressive measures where the organised crime is concerned. Since it is often a matter of mafias and dangerous criminal elements, rigorous activity of the police and relevant authorities is essential in order to eliminate this severe criminal activity. On the subject of the prevention of foreigner criminality, I would recommend a complex of social and situation measures, with the aim to decrease criminality, involving the problematic groups of foreigners to the life of the majority society and increasing the general public{\crq}s awareness about the methods of protection from criminal activities. The social prevention should, however, be joined by other units, particularly nongovernmental non-profit organizations, civil initiatives, companies, media and the town{\crq}s citizens themselves.

Halt, hands up! Here is the border patrols. Who goes there?
POLÁK, Petr
The aim of my diploma paper is to approximate the period of the divided world in the area of Novohradské hory in South Bohemian region in the twentieth century. The paper is based on many unpublished archive materials, scientific literature and mainly on many interviews with the personal observers living in this area. At first, I try to capture general events at the Bohemian {--} Austrian state boundary from the eldest time to the present. Next chapters deals with the problems of locating border patrols, the lives of members of the Frontier police and the attendance of local people at security of the state boundary. Based on the unpublished materials, the paper introduces destinies of the detained people and the dead who tried to cross the state boundary illegaly. I would also like to mention the main illegal groups of the III. anticommunist revolt, which were operating in the Budweis region, and also the agents of foreign intelligence services. Generally, I try to capture destinies of not only direct victims of the Iron Curtain {--} who were in fact vulnerable runners, but also destinies of soldiers executing compulsory millitary services, who were unfortunatelly forced to execute their national duty {--} to protect the state boundaries of totalitarian regime.

The issue of illegal migration and various approaches to its solution
PROCHÁZKOVÁ, Lenka
This thesis deals with the issue of illegal migration in the Czech Republic and various approaches to its solution. First of all, it provides a complex survey of the problem. It views the problem in the context of international migration, labor migration and the legislative framework of the Czech Republic, as regards its relation to foreigners. The goal is to compare and evaluate individual possibilities of dealing with illegal migration from the point of view of governmental and non-governmental institutions, and to propose an optimal solution. The thesis presents indepth interviews with representatives of seven different institutions. It turns out that particular solutions of illegal migration can not be separated, rather they must be viewed in the context of all other solutions. The priorities of the fight with illegal migration are the following: cooperation with countries of origin, enlightenment of both, potential immigrants as well as their potential employers, getting rid of ``push{\crqq} factors in countries of origin, and elimination of the main ``pull{\crqq} factor which is the possibility of getting an illegal job in the target country. The main output of my thesis research is pinpointing recommendations and conclusions which should be considered when looking for an optimal solution to the issue of illegal migration. I also present a few hypotheses for further research. When looking for an optimal solution the crucial task is played by the high-quality discussion on both levels, the professional as well as the public one. I suppose that this work has enhanced such discussion, furthermore, it can enhance such debate in the future too.
