Post-1965 Immigration and Assimilation: a Response to Randy Capps |
14 Virginia Journal of Social Policy and the Law 206 (Winter 2007) |

Prohibiting the Employment of Unauthorized Immigrants: the Experiment Fails |
2007 University of Chicago Legal Forum 193 (2007) |

The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA) marked a sea change in immigration law by extending federal immigration regulation into the private workplace through the prohibition of employment of unauthorized immigrants. In the two decades since... |

Unsuitable Suitors: Anti-miscegenation Laws, Naturalization Laws, and the Construction of Asian Identities |
41 Law and Society Review 587 (September, 2007) |
In this article, I use state-level anti-miscegenation legislation to examine how Asian ethnic groups became categorized within the American racial system in the period between the Civil War and the civil rights movement of the 1960s. I show how the labels used to describe Asian ethnic groups at the state level reflected and were constrained by... |

In 2004, two notable events occurred in Chicago that attested to the persistent significance of... |

This Symposium considers the relationship between immigration law and religious values as relevant. As a Roman Catholic ethicist, whose religious values are influenced by the indigenous traditions of the south, the question of how questions of borders and migration are treated in society has a poignant historical significance.
