17 Law and History Review 325 (Summer, 1999) |

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.

EMPLOYERS AS SUBJECTS OF THE IMMIGRATION STATE: HOW THE STATE FOMENTS EMPLOYMENT INSECURITY FOR TEMPORARY IMMIGRANT WORKERS |
46 Law and Social Inquiry 92 (February, 2021) |
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... |

Employment Authorization and Immigration Status: the Janus-faced Immigrant Worker |
43 Ohio Northern University Law Review 471 (2017) |
This Essay explores the distinct identities of immigrant workers. The ancient myth of Janus as the gatekeeper who looks both backward and forward captures the duality of immigrant workers, who are both immigrants and workers.

We are subjected to emotional and physical exploitation from which we cannot easily free ourselves because of the need to work and support our families in our home countries.

In 1944, Justice Jackson dissented in Korematsu, warning that the majority's decision would lie[] about like a loaded weapon ready for the hand of any authority that can bring forward a plausible claim of an urgent need.

Enforcing Immigration Equity |

Congressional amendments to the immigration code in the 1990s significantly broadened grounds for removal while nearly eradicating opportunities for discretionary relief. The result has been a radical transformation of immigration law. In particular, the constriction of equitable discretion as an adjudicative tool has vested a new and critical... |

In the United States, the death penalty is considered the ultimate punishment for the commission of a crime. A criminal defendant may be eligible for death if convicted of the most heinous type of crime--usually some form of aggravated first-degree murder. Because death is such a severe punishment, the U.S. Supreme Court has outlined a number of... |

U.S. immigration law was built on a foundation of systemic white supremacy. While a brief historical analysis of immigration laws in the United States illustrates a shift from explicitly racial to race-neutral language, the effects of the originally race-restrictive provisions in immigration law continue to be felt today.

A focus on challenges to nationally bounded citizenship paradigms is inevitably about the dramatic effects of immigration on American society. In 2005, more than thirty-five million residents of the United States were immigrants, or a remarkable twelve percent of the population. It is not, of course, numbers alone that create the challenges. At the... |

Entering the Trump Ice Age: Contextualizing the New Immigration Enforcement Regime |

During the early stages of the Trump ICE age, America seemed to be witnessing and experiencing an unparalleled era of immigration enforcement. But is it unparalleled?

Who among us is aboriginal? Indeed those who are aboriginal, the ones we call Native Americans, are the only ones we treat as badly as we treat new immigrants.

Equal Protection Exceptionalism |
69 Rutgers University Law Review 563 (Winter, 2017) |
Equal protection doctrine addressed to immigrants' rights is thoroughly exceptional. It is an amalgam of super-deference, suspect class treatment, and even intermediate scrutiny, depending upon whether immigrants are present in the United States lawfully or not, and whether a state or federal classification is at issue. No other area of equal... |

Traditional French secularism stresses the non-existence of race, but by refusing to acknowledge race, France also refuses to acknowledge the reality of racism within its... |
