This survey course will explore the many facets of U.S. immigration law

including the policies and politics that create it. The course will use

many topics to examine the constitutional, statutory, regulatory, and

human aspects, including: the federal immigration power, citizenship,

admissions, family and employment-based immigration, deportation/removal,

refugees/asylum, employer sanctions and antidiscrimination, and other

current topics in the immigration debate. We will also focus on the

practice of immigration law and how it affects other areas of the law

such as family law, business law, and criminal law.
