Taunya Lovell Banks Both Edges of the Margin: Blacks and Asians in Mississippi Masala, Barriers to Coalition Building 5 Asian Law Journal L.J. 7 (May, 1998) Asians often take the middle position between White privilege and Black subordination and therefore participate in what Professor Banks calls simultaneous racism, where one racially subordinated group subordinates another. She observes that the experience of Asian Indian immigrants in Mira Nair's film parallels a much earlier Chinese immigrant... 1998
Stewart Chang Bridging Divides in Divisive Times: Revisiting the Massie-fortescue Affair 42 University of Hawaii Law Review Rev. 4 (Spring, 2020) This Article revisits the infamous Massie-Fortescue rape and murder cases that occurred in Hawai'i during the 1930s, in order to challenge the methods by which race scholars have previously analyzed the case by relying on gender hierarchies.

Rachel K. Alexander Bridging the Title Vii Gap: Protecting All Workers from "Work Authorization" Discrimination 10 University of Maryland Law Journal of Race, Religion, Gender and Class 199 (Fall 2010) Despite the numerous laws protecting workers in the United States, a gap remains that leaves all categories of workers unprotected under certain circumstances.

Richard Frankel BRINGING "CIVIL"ITY INTO IMMIGRATION LAW: USING THE FEDERAL RULES OF CIVIL PROCEDURE TO FIX IMMIGRATION ADJUDICATION 76 Vanderbilt Law Review 1379 (October, 2023) Government lawyers frequently argue, and courts have frequently held, that noncitizens in removal proceedings do not have the same rights as defendants in criminal proceedings. A common argument made to support this position is that removal proceedings are civil matters. Accordingly, a noncitizen facing deportation has fewer due process protections... 2023
Kevin R. Johnson BRINGING RACIAL JUSTICE TO IMMIGRATION LAW 116 Northwestern University Law Review Online 1 (May 13, 2021) From at least as far back as the anti-Chinese laws of the 1800s, immigration has been a place of heated racial contestation in the United States. Although modern immigration laws no longer expressly mention race, their enforcement unmistakably impacts people of color from the developing world. Specifically, the laws, as enacted and... 2021

Board of Education about the impact of Brown on immigration law is very much like being asked to teach immigration law at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill.

Ernesto Sagás , Ediberto Román Build the Wall and Wreck the System: Immigration Policy in the Trump Administration 26 Texas Hispanic Journal of Law and Policy 21 (Spring, 2020) When Donald J.

Amit Jain Bureaucrats in Robes: Immigration "Judges" and the Trappings of "Courts" 33 Georgetown Immigration Law Journal 261 (Winter, 2019) As U.S. immigration policy and its human impact gain popular salience, some have questioned whether immigration courts--often the first-line adjudicators of deportation--are courts at all in the American adversarial legal tradition. This Article aims to answer this question through a focus on the role of the immigration judge (IJ). Informed by... 2019

However, that is not the case when you're speaking to immigrants, immigration lawyers, and immigration activists. The latter has a much crueler meaning... 2020

Brian G. Slocum Canons, the Plenary Power Doctrine, and Immigration Law 34 Florida State University Law Review 363 (Winter, 2007) There is a fundamental dichotomy in immigration law. On one hand, courts have consistently maintained that Congress has plenary power over immigration and reject most constitutional challenges on that basis. On the other hand, courts frequently use canons of statutory construction aggressively to help interpret immigration statutes in favor of... 2007
Shayak Sarkar CAPITAL CONTROLS AS MIGRANT CONTROLS 109 California Law Review 799 (June, 2021) The disparate treatment of capital and labor reflects one of globalization's central asymmetries: the law often allows financial capital, but not people, to move freely across borders. Yet scholars have largely neglected the intersection of these two regimes, the legal restrictions on migrants' capital, particularly when the migrants themselves are... 2021

Angélica Cházaro Challenging the "Criminal Alien" Paradigm 63 UCLA Law Review 594 (March, 2016) Deportation of so-called criminal aliens has become the driving force in U.S. immigration enforcement.
