Rosenbloom The Citizenship Line: Rethinking Immigration Exceptionalism 54 Boston College Law Review 1965 (November, 2013) It is not possible to police the movement of aliens without first determining who is and is not a citizen.

Gabriel J. Chin , Cindy Hwang Chiang , Shirley S. Park The Lost Brown V. Board of Education of Immigration Law 91 North Carolina Law Review 1657 (June, 2013) This Article proposes that in 1957, the Supreme Court came close to applying Brown v.

Thomas The Recurring Native Response to Global Labor Migration 20 Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies 1393 (2013) For the past few decades, and increasingly in the past few years, U.S. state governments have supplemented federal immigration law with state laws overtly designed to combat the perceived ills stemming from undocumented immigration to the United States.

Adam B. Cox , Eric A. Posner Delegation in Immigration Law 79 University of Chicago Law Review 1285 (Fall 2012) Immigration law both screens migrants and regulates the behavior of migrants after they have arrived.

To overcome this information problem,... 2012
