A radical new approach to the immigration “problem”: Full human rights

Anis Shivani, in this third installment on immigration, considers the rights of immigrants under U.S. law.  One telling paragraph:

“To the extent that the Trump administration is likely to get away with mass deportation, it is the plenary power doctrine, i.e., the presumption of unlimited executive authority on matters of immigration, that will lend such a policy doctrinal support. But here too the picture is not one-sided or consistent: There have been decisions both supportive and skeptical of the plenary power doctrine, depending on the political climate of the moment. The courts have a mixed history on this.”
