Immigration and Citizenship: Process and Policy, 5th Edition

Immigration and Process and Policy, 5th Edition integrates a number of important developments since the fourth edition was published in 1998. These developments · Many changes to the immigration statutes as part of the USA Patriot Act, especially concerning the treatment of terrorism; · anti-terrorism enforcement, including measures that raise tough issues of the use of ethnicity and nationality, the use of undisclosed evidence to remove non-citizens, and the detention of suspected terrorists; · splitting up the Immigration and Naturalization Service into various parts of the new Department of Homeland Security and other federal agencies. This book continues its exceptionally broad coverage of the field. The authors define “immigration and citizenship” to include not only the traditional questions of who is admitted and who is allowed to stay in the United States, but also the complex areas of discrimination between citizens and non-citizens, unauthorized migration, federalism, and the close interaction of constitutional law with statutes and regulations.
