The Antiterrorism Act, The Immigration Reform Act, And Ideological Regulation In The Immigration Laws: Important Lessons For Citizens And Noncitizens., Kevin R. Johnson Jan 1997

The Antiterrorism Act, The Immigration Reform Act, And Ideological Regulation In The Immigration Laws: Important Lessons For Citizens And Noncitizens., Kevin R. Johnson

St. Mary's Law Journal

This Article analyzes how the Antiterrorism Act and the Immigration Reform Act reflect a larger historical dynamic in the relationship between domestic subordination and immigration law. The U.S. government historically employed immigration laws in an effort to protect the established political and social order. History reveals a strong correlation between the severe treatment politically subversive U.S. citizens received and the constriction of the immigration laws. This Article argues the lack of constitutional protections for noncitizens helps to explain the recurrent backlash against them. The treatment of noncitizens suggests how far the government might go to suppress domestic political dissent by …

Essay: Some Thoughts On The Relationship Between Property Rights And Immigration Policy, Robert W. Mcgee Jan 1994

Essay: Some Thoughts On The Relationship Between Property Rights And Immigration Policy, Robert W. Mcgee

Cleveland State Law Review

Most articles and books that have been written on immigration policy start from a utilitarian position. They discuss issues such as whether immigration, on balance, is more harmful than beneficial, and whether allowing immigrants into the country results in job losses, increases in welfare costs, aids in economic growth, and so forth. This article is distinctly different in focus. Although utilitarian themes are discussed, this article places the main emphasis on the relationship between property rights and immigration policy.

The Legal Status Of The Refugee In The United States, Tang Thi Thanh Trai Le Jan 1994

The Legal Status Of The Refugee In The United States, Tang Thi Thanh Trai Le

Journal Articles

The Cold War era brought a shift in United States refugee policy from an emphasis on domestic policy to an emphasis on foreign policy. This meant that a large number of refugees could gain entry to the United States, but only if the refugees came from countries of foreign policy concern to the United States. The end of the Cold War and domestic economic stagnation have returned domestic and nationalistic factors to the forefront in the refugee debate. The case law and proposed legislation indicate that the United States may become less of a haven for refugees than before. Still, …

Salvadorans In The United States - Caught In A Web Of Unresolved Tension, Kathleen M. Smith

Antioch Law Journal

Since civil war broke out in 1979, the plight of the Salvadoran people has been well documented.' The United States Department of State which tends to be restrained in its reporting states that,[h]uman rights conditions in El Salvador are strongly affected by the ongoing civil strife. The achievement of a stable public order sufficient to protect individual rights has been disrupted by guerilla military operations, partisan hatreds, acts of revenge, fear and a prevailing uncertainty characterized by violence. This situation contributes to and is complicated by, the ineffective operation of the judicial system, caused in part by corruption and intimidation.2 …

Report On Crime And The Foreign Born, Joseph Cohen Nov 1931

Report On Crime And The Foreign Born, Joseph Cohen

Michigan Law Review

Twenty years back the Federal Immigration Commission reported that all the evidence then available indicated a lesser criminality on the part of the immigrant group as a whole. Succeeding studies have supported this conclusion. That an adverse view of the foreign born should persist in the face of …
