Jeffrey L. Ehrenpreis Controlling Our Borders Through Enhanced Employer Sanctions 79 Southern California Law Review 1203 (July 1, 2006) As a nation built by immigrants, the United States has historically maintained a generally pro-immigration policy.

The Political Branches: Immigration "Reform" and the Battle for the Future of Immigration Law 5 Georgetown Journal of Law and Public Policy 509 (Summer, 2007) When the topic of immigration reform is discussed, the focus is usually on the efforts of the political branches, particularly Congress.
