THE AGREEMENT AND THE GIRMITIYA |
134 Harvard Law Review 1826 (March, 2021) |
The Chinese exclusion laws (1882-1943) stand among the darkest moments in the history of American race policy.

The American Dreamers: Racial Prejudices and Discrimination as Seen Through the History of American Immigration Law |

The Case for African American and Latina/o Cooperation in Challenging Racial Profiling in Law Enforcement |
55 Florida Law Review 341 (January, 2003) |
The harshest measures of contemporary American immigration law disproportionately affect persons of color.

We the People Should Extend Constitutional Protections to Undocumented Resident Immigrants Killed Unreasonably by the Police |
44 Thurgood Marshall Law Review 187 (Spring, 2020) |
We live in a nation with two dominant characteristics. One, we are a nation of immigrants. Two, we are a nation based on rights. So why are immigrants the last group to gain rights?
