Ilya Somin Immigration, Freedom, and the Constitution 40 Harvard Journal of Law & Public Policy Pol'y 1 (April, 2017) In recent years, many conservatives have come to favor a highly restrictionist approach to immigration policy. But that position is in conflict with their own professed commitment to principles such as free markets, liberty, colorblindness, and enforcing constitutional limits on the power of the federal government. These values ultimately all... 2017

Matthew J. Lindsay Immigration, Sovereignty, and the Constitution of Foreignness 45 Connecticut Law Review 743 (February, 2013) It is a central premise of modern American immigration law that immigrants, by virtue of their non-citizenship, are properly subject to an extra-constitutional regulatory authority that is inherent in national sovereignty and buffered against judicial review.

  IMMIGRATION--NATIONAL SECURITY--STATE STANDING--UNITED STATES v. TEXAS 137 Harvard Law Review 350 (November, 2023) Executive discretion in federal enforcement proceedings is, perhaps, a distinctly American legal tradition.

The very 1789 Judiciary Act that recognized those learned... 2023

Tomiko Brown-Nagin IN MEMORIAM: JUSTICE RUTH BADER GINSBURG, THE LAST CIVIL RIGHTS LAWYER ON THE SUPREME COURT 56 Harvard Civil Rights-Civil Liberties Law Review 15 (Winter, 2021) There are many ways to describe Justice Ginsburg's historic achievements.

Davis Law Review 171 (November, 2018) The merger of immigration and criminal law has transformed both systems, amplifying the flaws in each.
