Comments On "A Specialized Statutory Immigration Court", James J. Orlow

San Diego Law Review

Continuing in the critique of Mr. Roberts' proposal for the creation of an independent article I immigration court, the author argues that, while Mr. Roberts presents salient points, his proposal is inappropriate except to the extent that the adjudicative process can be separated from the enforcement agency. The author argues that an independent immigration court would over-judicialize the immigration process, and further argues that such a court would not be vested with judicial authority pursuant to the constitution.

The Need For A Specialized Immigration Court: A Practical Response, Leon Wildes

San Diego Law Review

The author agrees with Mr. Roberts' premise that change is needed in the adjudicatory process of immigration cases, but argues that less radical changes would better serve to overcome the present inadequacies of the system, while limiting the creation of new problems.

The author further argues that the adoption of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedures or the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure to provide for a fair hearing, as well as securing adequate funding for …

Proposed: A Specialized Statutory Immigration Court, Maurice A. Roberts

San Diego Law Review

This Article, written by the retired Chairman of the Board of Immigration Appeals, examines the existing mechanisms for formal adjudication of excludability and deportability under immigration and nationality laws. The author analyzes the shortcomings which have contributed to the system's malfunctioning, and concludes that a major factor is the conflicting roles played by the Immigration and Naturalization Service.

Constitutional And Policy Considerations Of An Article I Immigration Court, Robert E. Juceam, Stephen Jacobs

San Diego Law Review

Suspension Of Deportation: A Revitalized Relief For The Alien, Mark W. Anthony

San Diego Law Review

This Comment analyzes Kamheangpatiyooth v. INS, which dealt with the question of whether a brief and temporary absence from the United States interrupts continuous physical presence. The author discusses the important factors affecting physical presence and the effects of the Kamheangpatiyooth decision on those factors. The author argues that the Kamheangpatiyooth decision rejuvenated the ameliorative purpose of the suspension of deportation provision. The author concludes that the decision evidences a lenient attitude towards deserving, deportable aliens because aliens will be able to prove more easily both the continuous physical presence and the extreme hardship elements of a prima facia case …

The Marriage Viability Requirement: Is It Viable?, Nancy K. Richins

San Diego Law Review

This Comment analyzes the administration of immigration laws that allow aliens preferred status on the basis of marriage to a U.S. citizen or resident alien.

The author argues that because the purpose of preferential treatment based on marriage is to unite the married couple, such treatment should be limited to those whose marriages are viable. The author explores the INS's current use of the viability requirement and examines various court decisions that have limited the use of marriage viability and …

Can The Boat People Assert A Right To Remain In Asylum?, Brian Roberts

Seattle University Law Review

World political reaction to the Southeast Asian refugee crisis has not asserted the refugees' human rights under international law. As a result, most of the refugees lack security from forcible return to the conditions they fled. They would have that security if the world powers act instead to implement non-refoulement, an established moral principle that arguably has attained the status of customary international law.
