Jennifer Chacón When I read about the recent controversies over Jason Richwine, formerly of the Heritage Foundation, and learned that Christopher Jenks was one of three Harvard faculty members who signed off on Richwine’s controversial dissertation, I immediately thought about an article by Jenks published by the New York Review of Books in 2007 entitled “The Immigration Charade.” That article includes a review of Patrick Buchanan’s State of Emergency: The Third World Invasion and Conquest of America. I read the review a long time ago, and the book is not on my list of favorites, but the [...]

In the name of border security

Jennifer Chacón On April 18, 2013, César did a masterful job of describing the “crimmigration provisions” of the behemoth comprehensive immigration reform bill that is currently wending its way through the Senate. He summarized the various sections of the bill, which begins with a sweeping set of provisions relating to “border policing and prosecution.” As César noted, the legalization provisions of the bill will not go into effect until certain “border security” benchmarks are met. The bill as initially drafted focused a significant portion of its security initiatives on the U.S.-Mexico [...]

Detention & Due Process in S. 744: The NYC Bar Speaks Out, Part 2

Mark Noferi Yesterday, I highlighted the New York City Bar Association immigration committee’s advocacy for universal appointed counsel in immigration proceedings, as well as City Bar’s analysis of Senate Judiciary Committee amendments that would roll back the limited right provided by S. 744. (City Bar’s April 24 letter supporting appointed counsel is available here, and its statement here). Today, I’ll highlight City Bar’s advocacy for reduced detention, and its analysis of amendments that, similarly, roll back the advances provided by S. 744. (City Bar’s second letter supporting [...]

Appointed Counsel & Due Process in S. 744: The NYC Bar Speaks Out

Mark Noferi First, I’d like to thank Cesar for allowing me to guest blog this week. It’s been great to be involved as crImmigration has grown into the Internet’s most thoughtful analysis of crime and immigration issues. (You can also read my prior crImmigration posts on American Bar Association civil immigration detention standards, Moncrieffe v. Holder, and S. 744’s appointed counsel and detention provisions). Today, I’ll start by summarizing recent amendments to appointed counsel and due process provisions in S. 744—largely under the radar in the reform debate (though I recently addressed [...]
