The Mother Of Exiles Is Abandoning Her Children: The Systemic Failure To Protect Unaccompanied Minors Arriving At Our Borders, Rosa M. Peterson
The Mother Of Exiles Is Abandoning Her Children: The Systemic Failure To Protect Unaccompanied Minors Arriving At Our Borders, Rosa M. Peterson
The Scholar: St. Mary's Law Review on Race and Social Justice
Unaccompanied minors arrive at the United States border every day. Many brought by the hope of finding a life lived without fear, a luxury many United States citizens take for granted. Their truths become the barriers and shackles which keep them in detention centers and unaccompanied minor facilities throughout the United States; children find their very words wielded as weapons against them in immigration court. Words often spoken to therapists in perceived confidence, during counseling sessions. This practice is a systemic failure to protect unaccompanied minors arriving at our borders who are seeking protection and help. The United States …
A Weaponized Process: The Deterioration Of Asylum Administration Under Trump, David C. Portillo Jr.
A Weaponized Process: The Deterioration Of Asylum Administration Under Trump, David C. Portillo Jr.
Journal of the National Association of Administrative Law Judiciary
Under the Trump Administration, a series of Attorney General decisions increased Executive Branch scrutiny over decisions of the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA). This scrutiny serves to advance an anti-immigration policy at the cost of denying entry of valid asylum seekers. These decisions are due to tension between the politically directed executive power of Attorneys General and the Judicial nature of the BIA. This internal contradiction results in Attorney General decisions that are arbitrary, inconsistent, employ poor reasoning, deviate from precedent, and cause inhumane effects. The structure of asylum administration, as laid out in the Immigration and Naturalization Act and …
Locking The Golden Door And Throwing Away The Key: An Analysis Of Asylum During The Years Of The Trump Administration, Samantha B. Karpman
Locking The Golden Door And Throwing Away The Key: An Analysis Of Asylum During The Years Of The Trump Administration, Samantha B. Karpman
Touro Law Review
The years of the Trump Administration have certainly been some of the most divisive in modern American political history. One of the largest divides arose from former President Trump’s brazen, “zero tolerance” immigration policies that relentlessly attacked many forms of immigration coming into the United States. Asylum-based immigration, which allows immigrants to come to this country as a safe haven when they are fleeing persecution in their home countries, was one of former President Trump’s main targets. Former President Trump even came dangerously close to eliminating asylum-based immigration with his “Death to Asylum” policy in December of 2020. President Biden …

The Path Of Most Resistance: Resisting Gang Recruitment As A Political Opinion In Central America’S Join-Or-Die Gang Culture, Ericka Welsh
The Path Of Most Resistance: Resisting Gang Recruitment As A Political Opinion In Central America’S Join-Or-Die Gang Culture, Ericka Welsh
Pepperdine Law Review
In recent years, increasing numbers of asylum-seekers from Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador crossed into the United States, fleeing gang violence that has driven homicide rates to record levels. These countries, known collectively as the “Northern Triangle,” now make up one of the most violent regions in the world. Transcending petty crime, gangs control entire communities in the Northern Triangle where they operate as de facto governments beyond law enforcement’s control. Gangs practice forced recruitment in these communities, creating a join-or-die gang culture where resisting recruitment is tantamount to opposition. Opposition, in turn, is met with brutal retaliation. The young …

Shaping Immigration Law Through A Business Law Model, Mitchell Reber
Shaping Immigration Law Through A Business Law Model, Mitchell Reber
Brigham Young University Prelaw Review
This article argues that state-produced immigration law can be a more effective method of regulating immigration when compared with current federal regulation. Currently, regulation as controlled by the federal government supersedes any laws created at the state level and subjects those laws produced by states to extensive review by the courts. The article proposes that immigration law should follow a business-law model when regulating immigration on a state level and discusses how the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 needs to be reinterpreted. The article then describes three ways this change in immigration law could be implemented and confers …
Immigration Exceptionalism, David S. Rubenstein, Pratheepan Gulasekaram
Immigration Exceptionalism, David S. Rubenstein, Pratheepan Gulasekaram
Northwestern University Law Review
The Supreme Court’s jurisprudence is littered with special immigration doctrines that depart from mainstream constitutional norms. This Article reconciles these doctrines of “immigration exceptionalism” across constitutional dimensions. Historically, courts and commentators have considered whether immigration warrants exceptional treatment as pertains to rights, federalism, or separation of powers—as if developments in each doctrinal setting can be siloed. This Article rejects that approach, beginning with its underlying premise. Using contemporary examples, we demonstrate how the Court’s immigration doctrines dynamically interact with each other, and with politics, in ways that affect the whole system. This intervention provides a far more accurate rendering of …
Disrupting Immigration: How Administrative Rulemaking Could Transform The Landscape For Immigrant Entrepreneurs, Tess Douglas
Disrupting Immigration: How Administrative Rulemaking Could Transform The Landscape For Immigrant Entrepreneurs, Tess Douglas
Pepperdine Law Review
Immigrant entrepreneurs come to the United States and start thriving companies that create jobs, drive the economy, and facilitate innovation. However, U.S. laws do not provide a clear path for immigrant entrepreneurs to lawfully enter and work in America. Therefore, immigrant entrepreneurs must seek lawful status in the United States through unusual routes. While Congress, the President, and the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) recognize the need for clear and accessible immigration standards for immigrant entrepreneurs, the politicized nature of immigration law has impeded significant change. This Comment details how administrative rules could offer a less politicized and …

Comments: Immigration And Modern Slavery: How The Laws Of One Fail To Provide Justice To Victims Of The Other, Shannon E. Clancy
University of Baltimore Law Review
On the first Sunday in February, Americans across the country look forward to the game of the year—the Super Bowl. Most sports fans would likely compare the anticipation and excitement of this game to that of a young child waking up on Christmas morning. This game brings in thousands of supporters to the host city each year and draws millions of television viewers. With the flashy lights, spirited fans, and debuting commercials, this game would appear to be the highlight of any person’s day. But looking behind the scenes, that is not always the case. This vast crowd also appeals …

Catholic Social Teaching, The Right To Immigrate, And The Right To Regulate Borders: A Proposed Solution For Comprehensive Immigration Reform Based Upon Catholic Social Principles, Chad G. Marzen, William Woodyard Ii
San Diego Law Review
A number of scholars have commented on the significance of religious traditions to the debate concerning immigration policy in the United States.[1] In this Article, we contend that the Catholic legal tradition is relevant to the contemporary debate among policymakers, as it balances policy considerationsof the right to immigrate as well as the right of a nation to regulate its borders advocated on both ends of the policy debate. Section I of this Article discusses the current policy debate concerning comprehensive immigration reform and recent major legislative proposals for comprehensive immigration reform, including the plan of the “Gang of Eight” …
Productivity And Affinity In The Age Of Dignity, Stephen Lee
Productivity And Affinity In The Age Of Dignity, Stephen Lee
Michigan Law Review
This Review proceeds as follows. Part I summarizes The Age of Dignity. Part II explains how this segment of immigrant workers challenges the productivity/affinity binary that dominates immigration law’s formal migration rules. Part III shows how this binary sets up dual migration streams, both of which could account for future flows of care workers. As Part III shows, the example of the eldercare industry nicely illustrates how the employment based and family-based migration systems simply represent two different ways of filling labor needs. I then conclude.
Losing The Best And The Brightest: The Disappearing Wage Premium For H-1b Visa Recipients, Danielle M. Drago
Losing The Best And The Brightest: The Disappearing Wage Premium For H-1b Visa Recipients, Danielle M. Drago
Vanderbilt Journal of Entertainment & Technology Law
The pressure for immigration reform in the technology industry revolves heavily around the use of the H-1B visa, which allows companies to temporarily hire highly skilled workers. This Note provides an empirical analysis of the historical wages of H-1B workers and domestic workers in the technology industry to determine whether H-1B workers earn more or less than domestic workers in the same industry. In the technology industry, H-1B workers' wage premium has eroded in recent years relative to domestic workers, leading to stagnant wages that may deter the "best and the brightest" from choosing to enter into the H-1B process. …

Murky Immigration Law And The Challenges Facing Immigration Removal And Benefits Adjudication, Jill E. Family
Murky Immigration Law And The Challenges Facing Immigration Removal And Benefits Adjudication, Jill E. Family
Journal of the National Association of Administrative Law Judiciary
Immigration adjudication is more diverse than it may seem. Scholars tend to focus on one aspect of administrative immigration adjudication, the decision-making process established to determine whether an individual may be removed (deported) from the United States. But there is a whole other function of administrative immigration adjudication that relatively is ignored in the legal literature. Immigration adjudicators are also tasked with determining whether to grant immigration benefits, such as whether to grant lawful permanent resident (green card) status. Both types of administrative immigration adjudication, removal and benefits, are in crisis. This article explores the challenges facing each and argues …

The Rocky Path From Section 601 Of The Iirira To Issue- Specific Asylum Legislation Protecting The Parents Of Fgm-Vulnerable Children, Andy Rottman
University of Colorado Law Review
Political asylum in the United States is intended to protect those who fear persecution if they are returned to their country of origin. Arguably, the United States asylum system works reasonably well when the asylum seeker fits neatly within the statutory asylum scheme. If, however, asylum seekers' claims fall outside the statute, the asylum system can work inhumane results. In these situations, Congress can use issue-specific legislation to protect a group facing a discrete humanitarian crisis. This was done in section 601 of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 ("IIRIRA"), which explicitly provided asylum protection to …

Restoring The Rule Of Law: Reflections On Fixing The Immigration System And Exploring Failed Policy Choices, Katherine L. Vaughns
Restoring The Rule Of Law: Reflections On Fixing The Immigration System And Exploring Failed Policy Choices, Katherine L. Vaughns
University of Maryland Law Journal of Race, Religion, Gender and Class
This paper reflects on issues surrounding the current debate about immigration reform, and explores failed policy choices over the past twenty years. It sets the stage first by providing a historical perspective, and noting how the events of 9/11 have inexorably changed the rhetoric and tone of the political and policy debates over immigration. It speculates about legislative choices and governmental inaction that have impeded past reform efforts and/or contributed to the current situation, thus undermining the rule of law; and observes that the undocumented immigrant population working and residing in this country today, which some lawmakers have labeled lawbreakers, …
