In February 1879, the Senate of the United States debated H.R. 2423, [a]n act to restrict the immigration of Chinese to the United States.

Immigration, Civil Rights, and Coalitions for Social Justice |
1 Hastings Race and Poverty Law Journal 181 (Fall, 2003) |
In mid-1993, a group of concerned California residents were fed up. They were tired of the illegal aliens whom they blamed for sapping the state's resources.

Immigration, Freedom, and the Constitution |
40 Harvard Journal of Law & Public Policy 1 (April, 2017) |
In reading about the history behind this lecture series, I was struck by how Lawrence I. Gerber is described: as a man born in New York City of immigrant parents who went on to attend City College and NYU Law School, who loved the law and remained faithful to it through 60 years of practice. His, in short, was the story of the American dream, a... |
