Immigration Law and Resistance Symposium: Live Blog Post Number 4
The UC Davis Law Review is holding its annual symposium today. The topic is Immigration Law & Resistance. I have been live blogging from the conference over the course of the day.
The third panel was on Defying the Criminalization and Deportation of Immigrants:
- Floyd Feeney, UC Davis School of Law, Moderator and Commentator
- César García Hernández, Denver University – Sturm College of Law (and blogger on the CrImmigrationblog), “Deconstructing Crimmigration.” He advocates the demise of crimmigration law and the crime-based removal system as we know it.
- Alina Das, NYU School of Law, “Inclusive Immigrant Justice.” Her insightful paper looks at the history of racial animus and the origins of crime-based deportations. Racial discrimination long has been embedded in crime-based removals from the days of the enactment of the original Chinese exclusion laws in the late 1800s through to the present. Crime historically has been a proxy for a removal of disfavored racial minority groups.
- Jack Chin, UC Davis School of Law, “Chevron and Citizenship Determinations.” Professor Chin discussed his paper on the deference afforded to the Executive Branch citizenship decisions. He argues that the U.S. government’s judgment on citizenship should not be protected by ordinary agency deference.
