Alito on Immigration: From the New York Times

By immigrationprof

The New York Times (November 2) has an article on Judge Alitio that discusses some of his immigration decisions. It can be found at http://www.nytimes.com/2005/11/02/politics/02abortion.html?ei=5094&en=b90c01173e43b843&hp=&ex=1130994000&adxnnl=1&partner=homepage&adxnnlx=1130939904-aneo/Ev9FyNsXsHw3oCffg Interestingly, Judge Alito does not seem particularly sympathetic to asylum claims, even those based on claims of forced sterilization and abortion. In essence, it does not appear that he will be like a Judge Noonan of the Ninth Circuit (who was appointed by Ronald Reagan in no small part because of his anti-choice views and has proven to be decent in immigration cases).
