I remember stepping to the podium last winter and congratulating the editors of this journal: first, for organizing a symposium around the important theme of immigration policy, and second, for featuring a panel on the question of immigrant workers' rights. The focus on rights at least implicitly invited us to put the perspectives of U.S.... |

This is a time of rapid change and uncertainty in the laws affecting immigrant workers and, in particular, those who are undocumented. Although the jurisprudence in this area has never been static, the Supreme Court's 2002 opinion in Hoffman Plastic Compounds, Inc. v.

Professor Chang observes that Asians are often perceived as interlopers in the nativistic American family. This conception of a nativist family is White in composition and therefore accords a sense of economic and sexual entitlement to Whites, ironically, even if particular beneficiaries are recent immigrants. Transgressions by those perceived... |

DRED SCOTT AND ASIAN AMERICANS |

Chief Justice Taney's 1857 opinion in Dred Scott v.

In the United States, efforts to end racial discrimination have generally been viewed as struggles for basic civil rights. The anti-discrimination aim of the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s might be considered the primary civil rights concern. With the help of cases like Brown v.

DUE PROCESS DEPORTATIONS |
98 New York University Law Review 407 (May, 2023) |
Should pro-immigrant advocates pursue federally funded counsel for all immigrants facing deportation? For most pro-immigrant advocates and scholars, the answer is self-evident: More lawyers for immigrants would mean more justice for immigrants, and thus, the federal government should fund such lawyers. Moreover, the argument goes, federally funded... |

Abstract. It is well established that Congress wields plenary power over the admission of noncitizens at the border. But when the government removes noncitizens who have already entered the country, including those who did so without lawful admission, the boundaries of its power are less clear. The Supreme Court confronted this issue in Department... |

Immigration reform has been the watchword of the last decade as the effort has continued to redefine our notions of who belongs in the United States.

On every United States coin there are engraved the Latin words e pluribus unum. This phrase means out of many, one.

But e pluribus unum actually means two very... |

As evidenced by United Nations (UN) data, the United States is the world's major country of immigration, and Mexico is the world's major country of emigration. As with U.S.-Mexican trade in goods, there is an asymmetry in migration patterns. The United States accepts immigrants from many nations, but virtually all Mexican emigrants head for the... |

United States immigration policy over the course of the last 200 years has evolved from one of open arms to one of racial and qualitative restrictions to one of qualitative and quantitative restrictions. These shifts, fueled by racism, domestic economic conditions including an end to war-time labor shortages, and domestic resource limitations, have... |
