State Immigration Laws and Federal Supremacy |
22 Hastings Constitutional Law Quarterly 939 (Summer 1995) |
Since the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act, the United States has instituted complex and systematic controls on immigration. Under the current system of immigration, an alien who intends to enter the United States is inadmissible unless he or she fits into one of the narrowly defined exceptions embodied by the alphabet soup of visa categories and is... |

The Law Against Family Separation |
51 Columbia Human Rights Law Review 430 (Winter, 2020) |
The terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 rekindled the national debate on the status of non-citizen immigrants in the United States. While the ostensible cause of this debate--a massive atrocity committed by non-U.S. citizens--is new, its substance is not. Over a century ago, two cases involving the constitutional status of Chinese immigrants in... |

The Opening of the Law in the Pursuit of Asian American History |
13 Journal of Gender, Race and Justice 325 (Winter 2010) |
There is a race so different from our own that we do not permit those belonging to it to become citizens of the United States. Persons belonging to it are, with few exceptions, absolutely excluded from our country. I allude to the Chinese race. But by the statute in question, a Chinaman can ride in the same passenger coach with white citizens of... |

United States Immigration Policy: Contract or Human Rights Law? |
32 Nova Law Review 309 (Spring, 2008) |
U.S. immigration law is premised on the fundamental idea that it is permissible, desirable, and necessary to restrict immigration into the United States and to treat borders as a barrier to entry rather than a port of entry.

Welcome to the Jungle: New Immigrants in the Meatpacking and Poultry Processing Industry |
5 Journal of Law, Economics & Policy 31 (Spring, 2009) |
We tend to think of Chae Chan Ping v. United States and the other Chinese exclusion cases of the late 1800s as a remnant of the racist past of Asian exclusion and segregation in America. However, these cases have had a tenacious grip on American law, and are very much alive and well. In the Chinese exclusion cases the Supreme Court first... |

Alien and Non-alien Alike: Citizenship, "Foreignness," and Racial Hierarchy in American Law |
76 Oregon Law Review 261 (Summer 1997) |
American immigration law has struggled to balance two crucial values: democracy and security. Historically, national imagery celebrates immigration's role in renewing democracy. Yet, apprehension about the risks of immigration has also fueled recurring concerns about the security of American institutions. The tragic events of September 11, 2001... |

13 Elder Law Journal 227 (2005) |
Come on, let us deal wisely with them; lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there falleth out any war, they join also unto our enemies, and fight against us, and so get them up out of the land. Exodus 1:10 To those who pit Americans against immigrants and citizens against non-citizens, to those who scare peace-loving people with... |
