Notes on the Multiple Facets of Immigration Federalism |
15 Tulsa Journal of Comparative & International Law 179 (Spring 2008) |
Immigration is a national issue and a federal responsibility. To describe it solely in those terms today seems almost wistfully passé. There is increasing skepticism as to the federal government's willingness or ability to regulate immigration in the twenty-first century. At the same time, there appears to be growing enthusiasm for an increased... |

52 Loyola of Los Angeles Law Review 187 (2018) |
The United States, despite being dubbed the nation of immigrants, is no stranger to excluding those deemed undesirable by the governing majority.

OCEANIC MOBILITY AND THE EMPIRE OF THE PASS SYSTEM |

Moral outrage is a substantive and remedial feature of our laws, and the Article addresses three questions overlooked in the scholarly literature.

Official Imaginations: Globalization, Difference, and State-sponsored Immigration Discourses |

Any attempt to situate the immigrant in the inter/national imagination, as the title of this symposium bids us do, must engage two extremely influential academic discourses. I will designate them as (1) the discourse of globalization as a cultural phenomenon and (2) the discourse of difference. Certain strains within these discourses deploy to... |

In the United States, law condemns poor people to their fates in states. Where Americans live continues to dictate whether they can access cash, food, and medical assistance.

On Normative Effects of Immigration Law |

Can laws shape and mold our attitudes, values, and social norms, and if so, how do immigration laws affect our attitudes or views toward minority groups?

The Russian invasion of Ukraine in late March of 2022 ushered in a new chapter of war on the European continent. For a Russian regime intent on actualizing its imperial vison and an accosted Ukranian community fighting in the name of self-determination, this war is far more than a theater of war. Ukraine evolved into real-time drama for racial... |
