THE BOUNDS OF ENERGY LAW |
62 Boston College Law Review 2339 (October, 2021) |
The executive order on travel issued by President Donald Trump in January 2017 identified the foreigners who should be barred from entry as those who bear hostile attitudes toward the United States and its founding principles and who do not support the Constitution. As this Article shows, anti-immigrant movements have long used... |

The Duality of Federalist Nation-building: Two Strains of Chinese Immigration Cases Revisited |
67 Albany Law Review 27 (2003) |
The merger of immigration and criminal law has transformed both systems, amplifying the flaws in each. In critiquing this merger, most scholarly accounts begin with legislative changes in the 1980s and 1990s that vastly expanded criminal grounds of deportation and eliminated many forms of discretionary relief. As a result of these changes,... |

The Invisible Others and Immigrant Rights: a Commentary |
45 Houston Law Review 99 (Symposium 2008) |
The systems of immigration and criminal law come together in many important ways, one of which being their role in instilling difference and undermining inclusion and integration. In this article, I will begin a discussion examining the concept of integration, simplistically described as inclusion into American life, not in the more traversed... |

The Legacy of Racially Restrictive Immigration Laws and Policies and the Construction of the American National Identity |
76 Oregon Law Review 369 (Summer 1997) |
The travel ban cases test the extent of the President's authority to promulgate orders regarding the issuance of visas and the entry of refugees. Specifically at issue is whether the President's actions are even reviewable by the courts, as well as whether the President exceeded his statutory authority or acted in violation of the Establishment... |

The Lost Brown V. Board of Education of Immigration Law |
91 North Carolina Law Review 1657 (June, 2013) |
The United States immigration regime has a long and sordid history of explicit racism, including limiting citizenship to free whites, excluding Chinese immigrants, deporting massive numbers of Mexican immigrants and U.S. citizens of Mexican ancestry, and implementing a national quotas system preferencing Western Europeans. More subtle bias has... |

Undocumented Immigrants Caught in the Crossfire: Resolving the Circuit Split on "The People" and the Applicable Level of Scrutiny for Second Amendment Challenges |
57 Boston College Law Review 1447 (September, 2016) |
Topics of immigration reform have created deep polarization. To some degree, these political and societal divisions regarding immigrants' place and ability to remain in the United States drove the Republican successes in the 2016 elections and carried Donald Trump to the White House. When political conservatives called for decreased migration and... |

Unity in the Struggle: Immigration and the South's Emerging Civil Rights Consensus |
79 Law and Contemporary Problems 5 (2016) |
U.S. immigration law was built on a foundation of systemic white supremacy. While a brief historical analysis of immigration laws in the United States illustrates a shift from explicitly racial to race-neutral language, the effects of the originally race-restrictive provisions in immigration law continue to be felt today. This Article illustrates... |

A DECARCEL CADENCE: NEUROLOGIC MUSIC THERAPY AS AN ABOLITIONIST PROJECT |
53 Connecticut Law Review 681 (September, 2021) |
A substantial body of research shows that people's legal attitudes can have wide-ranging behavioral consequences. In this article, I use original survey data to examine long-term immigrant detainees' legal attitudes. I find that the majority of detainees express a felt obligation to obey the law, and do so at a significantly higher rate than other... |

A Nation That Welcomes Immigrants? An Historical Examination of United States Immigration Policy |
1 U.C. Davis Journal of International Law and Policy 227 (Spring 1995) |
Africans are one of the fastest growing immigrant groups in the United States, yet their presence receives very little attention in public discourse about immigration. In an era where America's immigration policies have grown increasingly insular, African immigrants are particularly at risk of having measures that historically facilitated their... |

Alien Language: Immigration Metaphors and the Jurisprudence of Otherness |
79 Fordham Law Review 1545 (March, 2011) |
American Progressivism initiated the beginning of the end of American scientific racism. Its critics have been vocal, however. Progressives have been charged with promotion of eugenics, and thus with mainstreaming practices such as compulsory housing segregation, sterilization of those deemed unfit, and exclusion of immigrants on racial grounds.... |
