Book excerpt: The 109th and 110th Congresses considered, but did not enact, comprehensive immigration reform legislation that included large-scale legalization programs for unauthorized aliens. In the aftermath of these unsuccessful efforts, some interested parties have urged the President and Congress to pursue more limited legislation to address the status of unauthorized alien students. Such legislation is commonly referred to as the "DREAM Act." Unauthorized aliens in the United States are able to receive free public education through high school. They may experience difficulty obtaining higher education, however, for several reasons. Among these reasons is a provision enacted in 1996 that prohibits states from granting unauthorized aliens certain postsecondary educational benefits on the basis of state residence, unless equal benefits are made available to all U.S. citizens. This prohibition is commonly understood to apply to the granting of "in-state" residency status for tuition purposes. Unauthorized alien students also are not eligible for federal student financial aid. More broadly, as unauthorized aliens, they are not legally allowed to work and are subject to being removed from the country. Multiple DREAM Act bills have been introduced in recent Congresses to address the unauthorized student population. Most have proposed a two-prong approach of repealing the 1996 provision and enabling some unauthorized alien students to become U.S. legal permanent residents (LPRs) through an immigration procedure known as cancellation of removal. While there are other options for dealing with this population, this report deals exclusively with the DREAM Act approach in light of the considerable congressional interest in it. In the 111th Congress, the House approved DREAM Act language as part of an unrelated bill, the Removal Clarification Act of 2010. However, the Senate failed, on a 55-41 vote, to invoke cloture on a motion to agree to the House-passed DREAM Act amendment and the bill died at the end of the Congress. The House-approved language differed in key respects from earlier versions of the DREAM Act. Bills to legalize the status of unauthorized alien students (S. 952, H.R. 1842, H.R. 3823) have again been introduced in the 112th Congress. It is unclear, however, whether any of these measures will be considered. On June 15, 2012, the Obama Administration announced that certain individuals who were brought to the United States as children and meet other criteria would be considered for relief from removal. Under a memorandum issued by Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano on that date, these individuals would be eligible for deferred action for two years, subject to renewal, and could apply for employment authorization.

Book excerpt: Illegal immigration and the unauthorized alien population in the United States are key issues in the current debate over immigration reform. One group of unauthorized aliens that is of particular interest to Congress is composed of students who were brought to the United States as children by their parents or other adults. Unauthorized aliens in the United States are able to receive free public education through high school. Obtaining higher education is more difficult for several reasons. Among them, a provision enacted in 1996 prohibits states from granting unauthorized aliens certain postsecondary educational benefits on the basis of state residence, unless equal benefits are made available to all U.S. citizens. This prohibition is commonly understood to apply to the granting of "in-state" residency status for tuition purposes. Unauthorized alien students also are not eligible for federal student financial aid. More broadly, as unauthorized aliens, they are not legally allowed to work in the United States and are subject to being removed from the country. Multiple bills have been introduced in recent Congresses to address the unauthorized student population by taking the general approach of repealing the 1996 provision and enabling some unauthorized alien students to become U.S. legal permanent residents (LPRs) through an immigration procedure known as cancellation of removal. These bills are commonly referred to as the DREAM Act. While there are other options for addressing the unauthorized student population, this report deals exclusively with the DREAM Act approach in light of the widespread congressional interest in this approach. Two similar DREAM Act bills were introduced in the 109th Congress (S. 2075 and H.R. 5131). These bills would have repealed the 1996 provision and enabled eligible unauthorized students to adjust to LPR status through a two-stage process. Aliens granted cancellation of removal under the bills would have been adjusted initially to conditional permanent resident status. Such conditional status would have been valid for six years and would have been subject to termination. To have the condition removed and become full-fledged LPRs, the aliens would have had to meet additional requirements. While neither S. 2075 or H.R. 5131 saw any action, S. 2075 was incorporated into the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2006 (S. 2611), which passed the Senate in May 2006. The 110th Congress may consider DREAM Act legislation, whether as a free-standing bill or part of a larger immigration reform measure. Those who favor repealing the 1996 provision and granting LPR status to unauthorized alien students argue that many of these students were brought into the United States at a very young age and should not be held responsible for the decision to enter the country illegally. Those who oppose making these students eligible for in-state tuition or legal status emphasize that they and their families are in the United States illegally and should be removed from the country, not granted benefits. This report will be updated as legislative developments occur.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the Supreme Court has not directly addressed the issue of unauthorized immigrant access to higher education, the Court has considered the issue of unauthorized immigrant access to elementary and secondary education. [...] Indeed, in the 1982 Plyler v. Doe case, the Court held that a Texas statute that would have prohibited unauthorized student aliens from receiving a free public elementary and secondary education violated the Constitution.2 In reaching this ruling, the Court determined that unauthorized immigrants are entitled to protection under the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, which provid [...] Meanwhile, in Toll v. Moreno,6 the Court considered a challenge to a Maryland state policy to deny in-state status to non-immigrant aliens holding G-4 visas even if such aliens were state residents who would have otherwise qualified for in-state tuition rates at state colleges and universities.7 Ultimately, the Court held that the state policy was invalid under the Supremacy Clause of the Constitu [...] In Equal Access Education v. Merten, the plaintiffs claimed that several Virginia public institutions of higher education had violated the Supremacy, Commerce, and Due Process Clauses of the Constitution by denying admission to unauthorized student aliens.10 The institutions adopted this policy in response to a 2002 memorandum from the Virginia Attorney General that asserted that unauthorized alie [...] Since immigration regulation is an exclusive power of the federal government, the court ruled that the Supremacy Clause would not be violated unless the plaintiffs could show that the Virginia institutions were using state, not federal, immigration standards in order to deny admission to unauthorized aliens.12 Although the court ultimately dismissed the plaintiffs' Supremacy Clause claims for proc.
Download or read book Impossible Subjects written by Mae M. Ngai and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2014-04-27 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book traces the origins of the "illegal alien" in American law and society, explaining why and how illegal migration became the central problem in U.S. immigration policy—a process that profoundly shaped ideas and practices about citizenship, race, and state authority in the twentieth century. Mae Ngai offers a close reading of the legal regime of restriction that commenced in the 1920s—its statutory architecture, judicial genealogies, administrative enforcement, differential treatment of European and non-European migrants, and long-term effects. She shows that immigration restriction, particularly national-origin and numerical quotas, remapped America both by creating new categories of racial difference and by emphasizing as never before the nation's contiguous land borders and their patrol.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Currently, federal law prohibits states from granting unauthorized aliens certain postsecondary educational benefits on the basis of state residence, unless equal benefits are made available to all U.S. citizens. This prohibition is commonly understood to apply to the granting of "in-state" residency status for tuition purposes. In the 110th Congress, several bills that would amend this federal law have been introduced. Meanwhile, some states have passed laws aimed at making unauthorized state residents eligible for in-state tuition without violating this provision. This report provides a legal overview of cases involving immigrant access to higher education, as well as an analysis of the legality of state laws that make in-state tuition rates available to illegal immigrants.

Book excerpt: "The United States Code is the official codification of the general and permanent laws of the United States of America. The Code was first published in 1926, and a new edition of the code has been published every six years since 1934. The 2012 edition of the Code incorporates laws enacted through the One Hundred Twelfth Congress, Second Session, the last of which was signed by the President on January 15, 2013. It does not include laws of the One Hundred Thirteenth Congress, First Session, enacted between January 2, 2013, the date it convened, and January 15, 2013. By statutory authority this edition may be cited "U.S.C. 2012 ed." As adopted in 1926, the Code established prima facie the general and permanent laws of the United States. The underlying statutes reprinted in the Code remained in effect and controlled over the Code in case of any discrepancy. In 1947, Congress began enacting individual titles of the Code into positive law. When a title is enacted into positive law, the underlying statutes are repealed and the title then becomes legal evidence of the law. Currently, 26 of the 51 titles in the Code have been so enacted. These are identified in the table of titles near the beginning of each volume. The Law Revision Counsel of the House of Representatives continues to prepare legislation pursuant to 2 U.S.C. 285b to enact the remainder of the Code, on a title-by-title basis, into positive law. The 2012 edition of the Code was prepared and published under the supervision of Ralph V. Seep, Law Revision Counsel. Grateful acknowledgment is made of the contributions by all who helped in this work, particularly the staffs of the Office of the Law Revision Counsel and the Government Printing Office"--Preface.
