When the "Coloreds" Are Neither Black Nor Citizens: the United States Civil Rights Movement and Global Migration |
2 Asian Law Journal 1 (May 1, 1995) |
When Congress ended the immigration of Chinese laborers in 1882, the Chinese population was over 95% male. While there has been much disagreement about why so few women came, the more fruitful question may be to ask how Chinese women were able to immigrate to the United States at all. Central to their immigration were legal arguments for lawful... |

Immigration Law, Race, and Identity |
3 Annual Review of Law and Social Science 1 (2007) |
In an odd manner, the tragic events of September 11th served as a reminder that the United States is a nation of immigrants that has grown more and more diverse since the 1965 amendments to the country's immigration laws. As the nation reeled from the attacks, we regrouped in incredible demonstrations of unity and patriotism. Yet, an ugly side of... |
