State Immigration Laws and Federal Supremacy |
22 Hastings Constitutional Law Quarterly 939 (Summer 1995) |

The Law Against Family Separation |
51 Columbia Human Rights Law Review 430 (Winter, 2020) |
The terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 rekindled the national debate on the status of non-citizen immigrants in the United States. While the ostensible cause of this debate--a massive atrocity committed by non-U.S. citizens--is new, its substance is not.

The Opening of the Law in the Pursuit of Asian American History |
13 Journal of Gender, Race and Justice 325 (Winter 2010) |

But by the statute in question, a Chinaman can ride in the same passenger coach with white citizens of... |

We tend to think of Chae Chan Ping v. United States and the other Chinese exclusion cases of the late 1800s as a remnant of the racist past of Asian exclusion and segregation in America.
