Presidential Power and American Fear: a History of Ina § 212(f) |
99 Boston University Law Review 1839 (September, 2019) |
It is not possible to police the movement of aliens without first determining who is and is not a citizen.

10 Asian Law Journal 13 (May, 2003) |
The nation is mired in immigration reform debates again. Leaders vow that this time will be different.

THE IMAGINARY IMMIGRATION CLAUSE |
120 Michigan Law Review 1419 (May, 2022) |
The story of the United States has been one of welcoming foreigners. It has also been a story of excluding foreigners.

The theme of the Symposium at which this Article was presented was Immigration Law and Institutional Design.

The Plenary Power-shaped Hole in the Core Constitutional Law Curriculum: Exclusion, Unequal Protection, and American National Identity |
96 California Law Review 553 (April, 2008) |
This Article examines a profound shift in the concept of race. Although race is widely viewed as socially constructed through continuous struggles over meaning, its content has remained remarkably stable over time.

The Strange Career of the Illegal Alien: Immigration Restriction and Deportation Policy in the United States, 1921-1965 |
21 Law and History Review 69 (Spring, 2003) |
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... |

§ 6:6. National origin |
Government Discrimination: Equal Protection Law and Litigation 6:6 (2022) |
A growing number of states in the United States, including Georgia, have stepped into the area of immigration policy. While various rationales are given for this move, one must wonder what is really behind the drive to have states legislate in an area that has traditionally been reserved for the federal government. This Article explores the effect... |
