Immigration and Techniques of Governance in Mexico and the United States: Recalibrating National Narratives Through Comparative Immigration Histories |
29 Law and History Review 573 (May, 2011) |
There is need of a broader treatment of American history, to supplement the purely nationalistic presentation to which we are accustomed.

Please do not deport my parents because you will also deport a girl who only has a year left of high school and a dream to become something more than the daughter of illegal immigrants. What happens to the hope of a single child--anywhere--can enrich our world, or impoverish it. In October 2005, Ruby Arcos, a United States citizen and daughter of... |

Remedies for government overreaching in immigration cases have always embodied a dilemma.
