The Militarization Of Ice And Hyper-Surveillance Of Latinx Immigrants, Karen Martinez Gonzalez

Global Honors Theses

Since the creation of this country, exclusion based on race and class has been upheld by racist immigration, citizenship and labor laws. From slavery to segregation and from mass incarceration to the exploitation and criminalization of immigrant labor. The capitalist inclusion and nationalist exclusion of people of color are not separate ideologies instead they work together to ensure the original purpose of a homogeneous nation. ICE’s most important but hidden purpose is to uphold a white homogeneous nation. Their practices not only target undocumented communities but specifically undocumented communities of color. Migrants of color in the U.S. are prevented from …

Immigration As A Social Determinant Of Health: Proceedings Of A Workshop, Tiffiany O. Howard, National Academies Of Sciences, Engineering, And Medicine, Numerous Authors, See Full List Below

Political Science Faculty Research

Since 1965 the foreign-born population of the United States has swelled from 9.6 million or 5 percent of the population to 45 million or 14 percent in 2015. Today, about one-quarter of the U.S. population consists of immigrants or the children of immigrants. Given the sizable representation of immigrants in the U.S. population, their health is a major influence on the health of the population as a whole. On average, immigrants are healthier than native-born Americans. Yet, immigrants also are subject to the systematic marginalization and discrimination that often lead to the creation of health disparities. To explore the link …

Defining American: The Dream Act, Immigration Reform, And Citizenship, Elizabeth Keyes

Elizabeth Keyes

The DREAM Act and the grassroots movement propelling the legislation forward reveal how the definition of citizenship is undergoing a dramatic transformation, in ways both inspiring and troubling. The DREAM movement depends upon the compelling but exceptional stories of passionate, high-achieving, law-abiding youth who already define themselves as being American, and worthy of legal status. Situating this narrative in the rich literature of citizenship, the article shows how the DREAM movement effectively exposes the disjuncture between the DREAMers' identity as Americans and their lack of legal immigration status. The article celebrates how this narrative succeeds as a contrast to the …

Significant Developments In The Immigration Laws Of The United States 1983-1984, Margaret O'B. Scott

San Diego Law Review

This Synopsis outlines significant developments in immigration law from July 1983 through December 1984. The Supreme Court was very active in the area of immigration law during this period. In particular, the Court addressed important issues of asylum, suspension of deportation, and fourth amendment seizures. The lower courts focused on similar fundamental immigration issues that are of mounting concern in the United States. Failure to pass the Simpson-Mazzoli bill reflected congressional discord in the area of immigration reform.

From Mezei To Jean: Toward The Exit Of The Entry Doctrine, Joseph M. Cooper

San Diego Law Review

The author reviews the legal developments surrounding the admission of aliens and analyzes the doctrinal underpinning of the governmental power to exclude aliens. The author then examines the delegation of discretionary power to the executive branch under the Immigration and Naturalization Act and argues that this delegation of power runs afoul of Constitutional limitations. The author examines the recent decision in Jean v. Nelson and analyzes how the court could have reached a more just result. The author concludes that the traditional …
