Comprehensive Immigration Reform in the Jim Crow Era: Chinese Exclusion and the Mccreary Act of 1893 |
23 Asian American Law Journal 39 (2016) |
Equal protection doctrine addressed to immigrants' rights is thoroughly exceptional. It is an amalgam of super-deference, suspect class treatment, and even intermediate scrutiny, depending upon whether immigrants are present in the United States lawfully or not, and whether a state or federal classification is at issue. No other area of equal... |

66 Harvard Law Review 643 (February, 1953) |
Give me your hired, your entrepreneur, Your upper classes willing to pay a fee . Taken as a whole, the United States' relationship with immigration has been a paradox.

Disaggregating "Immigration Law" |
68 Florida Law Review 179 (January, 2016) |
Historically, immigration and citizenship law and policy in the United States has been shaped by the idea that certain immigrant populations present a threat to American society. Such ideas justified the Alien and Sedition Acts, the Chinese Exclusion Act, the enactment of new deportation grounds in 1917, and the adoption of national origin quotas... |

Immigration, Imperialism, and the Legacies of Indian Exclusion |
28 Yale Journal of Law & the Humanities 51 (Winter, 2016) |
In recent years, many conservatives have come to favor a highly restrictionist approach to immigration policy. But that position is in conflict with their own professed commitment to principles such as free markets, liberty, colorblindness, and enforcing constitutional limits on the power of the federal government. These values ultimately all... |
