Déjà Vu and the Gendered Origins of the Practice of Immigration Law: the Immigrants' Protective League, 1907-40 |
36 Law and History Review 713 (November, 2018) |
For the past century, the Supreme Court has skeptically scrutinized Congress's power to enact healthcare laws and other domestic legislation, insisting that nothing in the Constitution gives Congress a general power to regulate an individual from cradle to grave. Yet when Congress regulates immigrants, the Court has contradictorily assumed that... |

The Border Search Exception in the Modern Era: an Exploration of Tensions Between Congress, the Supreme Court, and the Circuits |
26 Boston University Journal of Science and Technology Law 189 (Winter, 2020) |
The era of Chinese Exclusion left a legacy of race-based deportation. Yet it also had an impact that reached well beyond removal.

8 Duke Journal of Constitutional Law & Public Policy 1 (2013) |
The Page Act of 1875 excluded Asian women immigrants from entering the United States, presuming they were prostitutes. This presumption was tragically replicated in the 2021 Atlanta Massacre of six Asian and Asian American women, reinforcing the same harmful prejudices. This Article seeks to illuminate how the Atlanta Massacre is symbolic of larger... |

The Muslim Ban Cases: a Lost Opportunity for the Court and a Lesson for the Future |
108 California Law Review 557 (April, 2020) |

107 Georgetown Law Journal 1323 (May, 2019) |
This Essay analyzes how aggressive activism in a California mountain town at the tail end of the nineteenth century commenced a chain reaction resulting in state and ultimately national anti-Chinese immigration laws.

WHEN DOES QUESTIONING RELATED TO IMMIGRATION STATUS CONSTITUTE A MIRANDA INTERROGATION? |
69 UCLA Law Review Discourse 80 (2021) |
When Asian immigrants first reached American shores in substantial numbers during the late 1800s, they were faced with a country that barely recognized Black citizens and a system that continually reinforced a Black--White binary. If Asian Americans wanted to attempt to obtain protections for themselves, they could not do so by asserting that those... |

96 California Law Review 999 (August, 2008) |

We call these taxes protectionist property taxes.... |

A Nation of Minorities: Race, Ethnicity, and Reactionary Colorblindness |
59 Stanford Law Review 985 (February, 2007) |
Abstract--From at least as far back as the anti-Chinese laws of the 1800s, immigration has been a place of heated racial contestation in the United States. Although modern immigration laws no longer expressly mention race, their enforcement unmistakably impacts people of color from the developing world. Specifically, the laws, as enacted and... |
