LAW A 577 Immigration Law

Credits: 3-4

This course engages critically with the legal, historical, and policy frameworks that shape U.S. immigration law, with a focus on the social justice implications of immigration enforcement and policymaking. Drawing on statutes, regulations, case law, and international treaties, the course examines the constitutional foundations of immigration regulation, the historical roots of exclusionary policies, and the roles of Congress, the executive, and the judiciary in constructing and sustaining systems of migration control. Substantive areas include the admission, exclusion, and deportation of noncitizens; asylum law, citizenship law; and the criminalization of undocumented immigration. Students will explore state and federal laws regulating the presence of noncitizens and develop essential skills in interpreting complex statutes and administrative regulations.
