22 Pepperdine Law Review 669 (1995) |
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door! Welcome to California, Now Go Home! The United States is a nation of immigrants.

38 UCLA Law Review 759 (April, 1991) |
In the Pacific Northwest, a relatively liberal area, apparently law-abiding citizens paste bumper stickers on their cars proclaiming, Save a salmon; can an Indian.
