Dreaming in Black and White: Racial-sexual Policing in the Birth of a Nation, the Cheat, and Who Killed Vincent Chin? |
5 Asian Law Journal 41 (May, 1998) |
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 |
24 University of Pennsylvania Journal of Constitutional Law 633 (June, 2022) |
Chief Justice Taney's 1857 opinion in Dred Scott v. Sandford is justly infamous for its holdings that African Americans could never be citizens, that Congress was powerless to prohibit slavery in the territories, and for its proclamation that persons of African ancestry had no rights which the white man was bound to respect. For all of the... |

DRED SCOTT AND ASIAN AMERICANS: WAS CHIEF JUSTICE TANEY THE FIRST CRITICAL RACE THEORIST? |
24 University of Pennsylvania Journal of Constitutional Law 751 (June, 2022) |
This commentary considers Professor Jack Chin's analysis in Dred Scott and Asian Americans of the white supremacist underpinnings and modern legacy of U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice Roger Taney's decisions in United States v. Dow, a little-known decision denying full citizenship rights to Asian Americans, and Dred Scott v. Sandford, an iconic... |

Driver's Licenses and Undocumented Immigrants: the Future of Civil Rights Law? |
5 Nevada Law Journal 213 (Fall 2004) |
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. Board of Education, officially sanctioned school and... |

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... |

DUE PROCESS IN REMOVAL PROCEEDINGS AFTER THURAISSIGIAM |
74 Stanford Law Review 793 (April, 2022) |
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... |

Dutch Uncle Sam: Immigration Reform and Notions of Family |
36 Brandeis Journal of Family Law 177 (Spring 1997-1998) |
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. This effort to redefine who belongs started with the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, which to a large extent addressed undocumented immigration. This effort continued with the... |

When health policy experts noticed that health outcomes for African Americans were consistently worse than those of their White counterparts, many in the health care community assumed that the poor outcomes could be blamed on poverty and lifestyle choices. Subsequent research told a different story. Studies repeatedly showed that neither money, nor... |

E Pluribus Unum: Immigration, Race, and Other Deep Divides |
21 Southern Illinois University Law Journal 101 (Fall, 1996) |
On every United States coin there are engraved the Latin words e pluribus unum. This phrase means out of many, one. Throughout our history we have used it proudly, at the very least to state a normative aspiration, and sometimes to describe the kind of society we think we have actually achieved. 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... |

Woven into the fabric of the American secondary education system are students a casual observer might dismiss as simply part of the mass of students that occupy classroom seats and roam school hallways everyday. College should be just over the horizon for these students, but a closer look reveals an unfortunate tension, a legal status that belies... |

The soul who sins is the one who will die. The son will not share the guilt of the father, nor will the father share the guilt of the son.

Europe's borders are racial borders. The European Union's external border regime underpins continuing forms of European imperialism and neocolonialism. It reinforces a particular imaginary of Europeanness as whiteness, euphemistically dressed up as a European Way of Life to be protected. It nonetheless sits comfortably within the permissible... |

Employer Sanctions for Hiring Illegal Aliens: a Simplistic Solution to a Complex Problem |
6 Northwestern Journal of International Law and Business 203 (Spring, 1984) |
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... |

The state plays a key role in shaping worker precarity, and employers are key actors in mediating this process. While employers sometimes may act as willing extensions of the deportation machinery, they are also subjects of the immigration state. In this article, we highlight the impact of state-employer dynamics on migrant workers with Temporary... |
