The Fourteenth Amendment and the Privileges and Immunities of American Citizenship-book

"A collection of short essays and stories, Defending Latina/o Immigrant Communities: The Xenophobic Era of Trump and Beyond focuses on one of the most vilified, demonized, and scapegoated groups in the United States: Latina/o immigrants. Using his rigorous academic training, public policy knowledge, and community activist background, as well as his personal and familial experiences as the son of Mexican immigrants, Alvaro Huerta defends and humanizes los de abajo / those on the bottom. He skillfully re-frames how Latina/o immigrants should be viewed as productive and important members in this country, debunking the xenophobic tropes, lies, and myths about Latina/o immigrants as criminals, social burdens, and national security threats. Accompanied by the brilliant art of an internationally acclaimed artist, Salomon Huerta, and powerful photos of two established photographers, this book also investigates intersectional issues related to race, class, place, and state violence."--Back cover.

"At its most basic, "crimmigration" law describes the convergence of two distinct bodies of law: criminal law and procedure with immigration law and procedure. This book lays out crimmigration laws contours. It tracks the legal developments that have created crimmigration law and explains the many ways in which the stark line that once appeared to keep criminal law firmly divided from immi-gration law has melted away. In doing so, it highlights crimmigration laws most salient features-its ability to substantially raise the stakes of criminal prosecutions by dramati-cally expanding the list of crimes that can result in removal from the United States, its willingness to freely rely on crimes that apply only to migrants, and its vast dependence on detention as a means of policing immigration law"--

"This ethnography investigates immigration enforcement in New York City, following individual migrants, their lawyers, and the NGOs that serve them into the immigration courtrooms that decide their cases"--

"Citizenship as Foundation of Rights explores the nature and meaning of citizenship and the rights flowing from American citizens in the context of current debates around politics including immigration. The book explains the sources of citizenship rights in the Constitution and focuses on three key citizenship rights - the right to vote, the right to employment, and the right to travel in the US. It explains why those rights are fundamental and how national identification systems and ID requirements to vote, work and travel undermine the fundamental citizen rights. Richard Sobel analyzes how protecting citizens' rights preserves them for future generations of citizens and aspiring citizens here. No other book offers such a clarification of fundamental citizen rights and explains how ID schemes contradict and undermine the constitutional rights of American citizenship"--

"The Battle to Stay in America is the story of a community learning to defend itself from the U.S. federal government's crackdown on immigrants. Told through the eyes of a lawyer on the front line, the book offers an introduction to a broken legal system"--

"During the Trump administration, the immigration courts have been decried as more politicized enforcement weapon than impartial tribunal. Yet few people are aware of a fundamental flaw in the system that long pre-dates the current administration: The immigration courts are not really "courts" at all but an office of the Department of Justice-the nation's law enforcement agency. The Accidental History of the U.S. Immigration Courts uses narrative history, focusing on previously unstudied decisions in the Franklin D. Roosevelt and George W. Bush administrations, to help readers understand both the human tragedy of our immigration court system today and the human crises that led to its creation. Moving the reader from understanding to action, Alison Peck offers a lens through which to evaluate contemporary bills and proposals to reform our immigration court system. Peck provides an accessible legal analysis of recent events to make the case for independent immigration courts, proposing that the courts be moved from the Department of Justice into an independent, Article I court system. As long as the immigration courts remain under the authority of the attorney general, the administration of immigration justice will remain a game of political football-with people's very lives on the line"--

"Providing a radical new approach to labour migration, this book challenges the prevailing legal and political construction of the figure of the irregular migrant labourer, whilst at the same time reimagining this irregularity as the basis of an alternative, post-capitalist, sociality. The text draws on the work of contemporary philosopher Jean-Luc Nancy, and more specifically his term 'ecotechnics', in order to examine how economic, political and juridical norms deny the full legal status of certain people who are deemed to be irregular. This ostensible irregularity is revealed as a regular feature of labour market practice, and a necessary support for the conceptual foundations of capitalist legality. As this book shows, however, this legality - and with it, the technological subordination of life to the circulation of capital as if this were the only possibility for our being in the world - is not insurmountable. The book's consideration of the figure of the irregular migrant labourer comes to provide an alternative basis for reimagining our relationship not only to migration and to labour itself, but ultimately to each other. This powerful analysis of contemporary labour migration is of considerable interest to legal and political theorists, philosophers, labour lawyers, migration experts, and others with theoretical, political or policy interests in this area.

A Podcast on Legal Scholarship

It has become nearly impossible for migrants at the southern border to win asylum. Even if they do get protection from a judge, in some cases they're still not allowed to stay in the country.

Professors Ilya Somin and Philip L. Torrey discuss President Trump's intent to withhold federal funding to sanctuary cities and the impact this could have on state/local rights and immigration.

Legal scholar Claudia Flores discusses her report on the abuse of migrant children, the history and future of immigration policy, and her career as a human rights advocate.

As border stops have increased and the U.S. quietly steps up restrictionist immigration policies, the plight of refugees, many of whom are women and children, is only worsening. Despite the clarity of international law regarding the acceptance of refugees, many of whom are fleeing political instability and violence in Central America, the United States refuses to allow these vulnerable populations into the country. As Michelle Brané argues, it doesn’t have to be this way. A lawyer by training, Michelle Brané has dedicated her life to serving some of the world’s most vulnerable populations. The Director of the Migrant Rights and Justice Program at the Women’s Refugee Commission has over 25 years of experience advocating for the critical needs of women, children and other vulnerable migrant populations in the U.S. As one of the nation’s foremost experts on immigration detention and reform, she has testified before Congress, appeared frequently in various media outlets, and frequently presented at conferences and international bodies, including the United Nations High Commission for Refugees in Geneva. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx

#USImmigration #ImmigrationReform #ImmigrationLawyer #andresmejerlaw #bigchangestoImmigrationin2020 #immigrationchangesin2020 #dacarenewal #5bigchangestousimmigrationin2020youneedtoknow In this week's live video, immigration attorney, Andres Mejer, discusses the 5 big changes to immigration policy in the United States that everyone should know about. We all know it is getting harder and harder for those who want to immigrate to the United States. Approvals for petitions are taking longer. Fees are increasing. Good moral character and public charge are being weighed more heavily. Some things are being said they will change and the immigration legal community is still trying to figure out what the change will be. In this video, Andres talks about all of this and more. 00:00 #1 Fee Increases - costs are skyrocketing for many immigration applications. 00:33 Andres discusses what you can expect and why this is happening. 2:01 Andres also shares what is happening more and more with fee waivers 2:36 #2 Citizenship Test Changes - Andres explains how the test will get harder and that approvals will go down 4:26 Increased Citizenship Petition Denials - Andres talks about the things that USCIS seems to be using to make denials for citizenship increase. He shares how USCIS is making the qualifications much more strict. He also explains what the "look back period" is and how it is applied based on how you obtained your green card. Because of these changes, if you were EVER arrested, it is imperative that you speak to a qualified immigration attorney BEFORE submitting your citizenship application. 14:09 #3 Electronic Filing - You can file more forms electronically. Andres explains why this isn't something to get excited about yet. 16:53 #4 Public Charge - This has been in immigration policy for over a century. The big change is that this is now defined in the law. Andres talks about what it is and how it applies to you when applying for an immigration benefit. 19:33 #5 Asylum Obstacles - this one is HUGE. Andres explains what is being done to almost make it impossible for asylum seekers to be in the US and work. 21:59 The US wants to be able to deny asylum not just for a conviction of a crime but a mere suspicion of having committed a crime. If you have a conviction for any offense with a POSSIBLE jail sentence of more than one year, you could be denied asylum. These are really big changes.
