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. Yet little scholarly attention has been devoted to the nature of citizenship determinations or their implication for our understanding of immigration enforcement as a whole. Thousands of U.S. citizens are caught up in immigration... |

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. Board of Education to immigration law. In Brown, the Supreme Court held that school segregation was unconstitutional. Ultimately, Brown came to be understood as prohibiting almost all racial classifications. Meanwhile, in a line of cases exemplified by Chae Chan... |

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.

A Paradox in Employment: the Contradiction That Exists Between Immigration Laws and Outsourcing Practices, and its Impact on the Legal and Illegal Minority Working Classes |
6 DePaul Journal for Social Justice 111 (Fall, 2012) |
The United States has a tradition of restrictive immigration laws designed to protect American jobs. It is time consuming, expensive, and difficult for non-citizens to gain an immigrant employment visa. Prior to being considered for an employment visa, skilled and non-skilled workers, the vast majority of the workforce, are put on a waiting list... |

This Article explores the effect... |

Criminal Defense after Padilla V. Kentucky |
26 Georgetown Immigration Law Journal 475 (Spring, 2012) |
The Supreme Court's decision in Padilla v. Kentucky involves criminal defense attorneys in immigration law as never before.

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. Both activities are information intensive because the migrant's type and the migrant's post-arrival activity are often forms of private information that are not immediately accessible to government agents. To overcome this information problem,... |
