Victor C. Romero Devolution and Discrimination 58 New York University Annual Survey of American Law 377 (2002) One way to determine whether the national or the state governments should have the power over immigration, that is, the ability to regulate the flow of noncitizens into a polity, is to look at the text of the U.S. Constitution, which purports to allocate powers between these entities. Unfortunately, the word immigration appears nowhere in the... 2002

Cristina Isabel Ceballos, David Freeman Engstrom, Daniel E. Ho DISPARATE LIMBO: HOW ADMINISTRATIVE LAW ERASED ANTIDISCRIMINATION 131 Yale Law Journal 370 (November, 2021) Administrative law has a blind spot.

Walter P. Jacob Diversity Visas: Muddled Thinking and Pork Barrel Politics 6 Georgetown Immigration Law Journal 297 (June, 1992) Because Congress is held to have plenary power to exclude aliens from the United States, efforts to eliminate discrimination from this nation's immigration policy tend to rely on basic notions of fairness rather than on the legal rights of aliens.
