Counterpoint: Reply To Orrenius And Zavodny, Vernon Briggs Nov 2012

Counterpoint: Reply To Orrenius And Zavodny, Vernon Briggs

Vernon M Briggs Jr

[Excerpt] On the fundamental conclusions, the positions argued by Pia Orrenius and Madeline Zavodny and my own are in essential agreement. The immigration policy of the United States is in dire need of changes. The public concern is, in their words, “driven by the increase in immigration in recent years, particularly of unauthorized immigration.” Our mutual worries pertain to the disproportionately adverse impacts of the immigrant inflow on the nation’s low-skilled work force and the high fiscal burden borne by local communities and states with growing immigrant populations. The differences between the two papers center on the approaches taken to …

The Elusive Goal: The Quest For A Credible Immigration Policy, Vernon Briggs

Vernon M Briggs Jr

[Excerpt] The starting point for all immigration reform efforts must be making the immigration system enforceable. Nothing else makes sense. Otherwise, immigration policy is on a squirrel wheel going nowhere. Illegal immigrants will keep coming in defiance of its terms.


Bilateral Readmission Agreements And Refugee Rights: From A Critique To A Proposal, Mariagiulia Giuffré Sep 2012

Bilateral Readmission Agreements And Refugee Rights: From A Critique To A Proposal, Mariagiulia Giuffré

Mariagiulia Giuffré

Against the backdrop of the bilateral cooperation on migration control between EU Member States and third countries, this paper examines whether the implementation of readmission agreements (key tools in this context) hampers access to international protection for asylum seekers subjected to a return procedure. Given that competence in the ‘Area of Freedom, Security, and Justice’ remains shared, the EU and Member States continue to pursue their readmission procedures in parallel. This paper focuses on the bilateral arrangements of individual Member States with third countries, which constitute the bulk of the instruments in this field. It concludes that no issue of …

Illegal Immigration And The Dilemma Of American Unions, Vernon Briggs Mar 2012

Illegal Immigration And The Dilemma Of American Unions, Vernon Briggs

Vernon M Briggs Jr

[Excerpt] Over its long and often turbulent evolution, the American labor movement has confronted few issues as persistently and as difficult has those related to subject of immigration. By definition, immigration affects the size of the labor force at any given time as well as its geographical distribution and skill composition. These vital influences, in turn, affect national, regional and local labor market conditions. Most immigrants directly join the labor force upon entering the country, as do eventually most of their family members. Hence, organized labor never has ignored immigration trends. As Samuel Gompers, one of the founders of the …

The Immigration Prosecutor And The Judge Examining The Role Of The Judiciary In Prosecutorial Discretion Decisions, Shoba S. Wadhia Dec 2011

The Immigration Prosecutor And The Judge Examining The Role Of The Judiciary In Prosecutorial Discretion Decisions, Shoba S. Wadhia

Shoba Sivaprasad Wadhia

Legal scholars and judges have long examined the role of judicial review in immigration matters, and also criticized the impacts of the “plenary power” doctrine and statutory deletions of judicial review for certain immigration cases. Absent from this scholarship is a serious examination of the judiciary’s role in immigration decisions involving prosecutorial discretion. I attribute this absence to both a silent concession that prosecutorial discretion decisions are automatically barred from judicial review because of the plain language of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA); the judicial review “exceptions” in the Administrative Procedures Act (APA), and the cases that analyze these …
