Immigration Debate:
Birthright Citizenship and the Fourteenth Amendment

The American people are frustrated with the lack of enforcement of law at the border, and are increasingly open to new policies, including policies to eliminate the incentives for illegal entry. No one disputes that superior economic opportunity in the United States is a strong magnet. But some policy activists have also begun to contend that birthright citizenship for children born in the United States is another important attraction. Accordingly, numerous proposals have been introduced in Congress to repeal birthright citizenship for the children of undocumented persons, as well as for the children of persons other than U.S. citizens and aliens lawfully admitted for permanent residence. Section 1 of the Fourteenth Amendment, however, provides that "[a]all persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside." In light of this provision, are these proposals to repeal birthright citizenship by statute constitutional? And in light of this nation's traditions, customs, and values, are these proposals good policy?

BOOKS: IMMGRATION PRACTICE 2006-2007
From ILW.COM:
Immigration Practice 2006-2007
by Robert C. Divine & R. Blake Chisam
++ Liberally cross references to other sections in the book where
related topics are discussed (because so many topics are
interrelated).
++ Provides line-by-line instructions on how to complete the most
commonly used forms to avoid embarrassing mistakes.
++ Contains comprehensive charts of detailed contact information
for the officials in the many government agencies
administering immigration laws, some of which are not
available anywhere else, including INS' reorganized regional
and district offices, Immigration Courts, consulates
throughout the world (with country-unique rules), labor
department regional offices, state employment and prevailing
wage specialists, suppliers of country conditions information
for asylum claims, au pair programs, and more; (such as
Internet sites, and au pair agencies)
++ Organizes explanations of potentially applicable visa options
according to the attributes of the alien (and the employer),
rather than the classifications in alphabetical order, so that
practitioners can make sense of options in light of the client
in the office.
++ Compares and charts attributes and procedures of such topics
as nonimmigrant visa classifications, procedures to permanent
residence, and standards of "extreme" hardship. - Cites the
most useful Internet site URLs with explanation of the
increasingly helpful free databases and tools available
through each one.
++ Is edited and completely updated each year with the latest
developments in all areas of immigration law.

Approximately 8,000 children come to the United States each year without parents or family after fleeing their home countries due to the violence they witness or experience. Many have suffered persecution because of their gender, religion, or political opinions.
These children must face a government lawyer in an adversarial immigration hearing before a judge, though they may not even speak English. Their attorneys are their only assistants.
This expert panel will discuss the challenges inherent in the representation of unaccompanied children in these unique proceedings. Topics include:
* Cross-cultural and language issues when interviewing children and preparing them to testify
* Difficulties in obtaining corroborating evidence
* How to use experts

Faith communities across the country are on the front lines in dealing with the daily consequences of an unjust system that causes undue suffering and hardship to the people they serve. Because of their experience and moral commitment, many faith communities are working for comprehensive immigration reform.

NOMINATIONS OPEN FOR DANIEL LEVY AWARD
A few years ago, I had the honor of spending an evening with Daniel Levy, one of the most gifted immigration lawyers in America. We were seated next to each other at a benefit dinner for the American Immigration Law Foundation and it was the only time I ever got to spend with Daniel. We had a wonderful evening and I learned we were connected because he was the uncle of a childhood friend of mine. Daniel passed away from cancer the next year and the immigration bar lost a great advocate.
I think it is most fitting the Lexis sponsors the Daniel Levy Award honoring the person who has made the most outstanding contribution to immigration law. The award is open to both attorneys and non-attorneys. The award goes to a person meeting these criteria:
- enthusiastic advocacy on behalf of immigrant clients;
- deep scholarship in immigration law; and
- an expansive vision of justice
Nominations are due May 1, 2007.
