THE AGREEMENT AND THE GIRMITIYA |
134 Harvard Law Review 1826 (March, 2021) |
The Chinese exclusion laws (1882-1943) stand among the darkest moments in the history of American race policy.

Over the last thirty years... |

Critical Race Theory and Proposition 187: the Racial Politics of Immigration Law |
17 Chicano-Latino Law Review 118 (Fall 1995) |
For many years, controversies impacting many areas of legal scholarship have left the field of immigration law virtually untouched. Thus, although other areas of law have felt the critique advanced by critical scholars, immigration law has proceeded as a virtually self-contained unit. In doing so, immigration law has developed a paradigm for legal... |

Rising Arizona: the Legacy of the Jim Crow Southwest on Immigration Law and Policy after 100 Years of Statehood |
24 Berkeley La Raza Law Journal 1 (2014) |
Professor Jack Chin has written a provocative paper that, as is characteristic of his work, has much to commend to it. His basic thesis is that the gulf between the constitutional law of immigration and that which applies to citizens is not as great as is frequently stated. To support this novel argument, he takes on the ambitious task of comparing... |

The American Dreamers: Racial Prejudices and Discrimination as Seen Through the History of American Immigration Law |
26 Thomas Jefferson Law Review 203 (Spring 2004) |
The development of U.S. immigration law has largely been influenced by the tension between the plenary power doctrine and constitutional norms. Some scholars have further suggested that this tension has resulted in the creation of phantom constitutional norms in the context of immigration laws. The plenary power doctrine declares that Congress... |

The Case for African American and Latina/o Cooperation in Challenging Racial Profiling in Law Enforcement |
55 Florida Law Review 341 (January, 2003) |
The harshest measures of contemporary American immigration law disproportionately affect persons of color. At the same time, persons of color have become the primary subjects of migration to the United States and are thus the main beneficiaries of the substantial benefits the U.S. immigration system offers. The extent to which racism, conscious or... |
