Laying It On The Line: How Hernandez V. Mesa Nixed Bivens For A Transnational Homicide, Sean Davis
Laying It On The Line: How Hernandez V. Mesa Nixed Bivens For A Transnational Homicide, Sean Davis
Lincoln Memorial University Law Review Archive
n Hernandez v. Mesa, the Supreme Court denied the petitioners the opportunity to seek a Bivens remedy for a constitutional violation by a federal official. The Court appears like it will soon remove Bivens remedies entirely. This article analyzes the case and argues that the Court correctly decided the issue. Current literature decries this decision as ignoring precedent but fails to analyze the framework for deciding Bivens cases fully. The article further adopts the stance of the concurrence to argue that Bivens remedies violate the separation of powers, have failed to achieve their stated purpose, and should be completely abolished. …

In a 5-4 opinion, the United States Supreme Court once again denied a Bivens action. This case involved a tragic crossborder shooting by a border patrol agent standing on United States soil, who shot and killed a young boy standing on Mexican soil. Petitioners, the boy’s parents, sought relief under Biven2, arguing the agent’s action violated the Constitution. However, the Court determined the cross-border shooting was a new Bivens context, which required an analysis of whether any special factors “counseled hesitation” for the cause of action to be extended. The Court concluded Bivens was inappropriate because several factors “counseled hesitation”—namely, …

Border Enforcement And Civil Rights Along The Texas-Mexico Border, Esther Reyes
Latino Public Policy
Over the past two decades, spending on enforcement along the southwestern border of the United States has expanded dramatically. The annual budget of the U.S. Border Patrol, increased from $400 million in fiscal year 1994 to $3.8 billion in fiscal year 2017. During this period, the number of Border Patrol agents stationed along the U.S.Mexico border grew by nearly 450 percent, from 3,747 to over 16,605 agents. Meanwhile, apprehensions of unauthorized migrants along the U.S.-Mexico border declined from 979,101 in 1994 to 303,916 in 2017.
These expansions and the accompanying declines in immigrant populations and apprehensions have raised concerns about …

The attacks of September 11, 2001 (9/11) forced the United States to examine its immigration policies and how they relate to the national security of the nation. In the months following these events, Congress expanded the nation’s ability to collect data and share information on suspected terrorists through the passage of several laws focused on detaining and deportation of immigrants (Rosenblum, 2011). Although the intention of the enactment of these policies was to protect the nation from further terrorist attacks, they have created unforeseen impacts on populations identified as immigrants into the United States.

Border Vigilantism And Comprehensive Immigration Reform, Christopher J. Walker
Border Vigilantism And Comprehensive Immigration Reform, Christopher J. Walker
Christopher J. Walker
While many actors and conditions contribute to the problems at the border, one set of actors has been unexplainably missing from the literature and policy analysis: border vigilantes. These vigilantes have painted the border as a dangerous locus of criminal and terrorist activity, necessitating concerned citizen sentinels. They have blitzed the public with portrayals about the number of migrants crossing the border illegally and the need for law enforcement to increase border protection. Their message is powerful because they back their rhetoric with action: these individuals camp out near popular desert border-crossing points, document the rate of undocumented migration, and …

Border Security is a complex system consisting of many interrelated components that must function as a whole in order to be effective. The efficacy of border security is dependent on several independent agencies; these include U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP), Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the Department of Justice (DOJ), state and local law enforcement, and many others. Border security is not only a function of how well each of the agencies perform individually but also how well they interact to accomplish a goal. This paper attempts to model border security from a Border Patrol (BP) perspective using discrete …

The Wrong Solution: An Examination Of Present Bush's Proposed Temporary Worker Program., Tory A. Cronin
The Scholar: St. Mary's Law Review on Race and Social Justice
In 2004, President George Bush offered a new proposal to provide temporary work permits to undocumented immigrants. His proposal, however, falls short of his goals to create an immigration system which serves the American economy and reflects the American Dream. This temporary worker program would provide labor for positions which Americans are not filling currently. For some reason, Americans seem averse to holding certain jobs even though these jobs are readily available. President Bush’s proposal, which he asked Congress to draft, alleviates pressure on American employers who wish to fill low-demand jobs with foreign laborers. The proposal accomplishes this by …
