  • The President and Immigration Law Redux Abstract
    C.104.COX-RODRIGUEZ.225.DOCX (DO NOT DELETE) 10/23/15 3:47 PM Adam b. cox & Cristina M. Rodríguez The President and Immigration Law Redux abstract. In November 2014, President Obama announced his intention to dramatically reshape immigration law through administrative channels. Together with relief policies announced in 2012, his initiatives would shield nearly half the population of unauthorized immigrants from removal and enable them to work in the United States. These events have drawn renewed attention to the President’s power to shape immigration law. They also have reignited a longstanding controversy about whether constitutional limits exist on a central source of executive authority: the power to enforce the law. In using the Obama relief policies to explore these dynamics, we make two central claims. First, it is futile to try to constrain the enforcement power by tying it to a search for congressional enforcement priorities. Congress has no discernible priorities when it comes to a very wide swath of enforcement activity—a reality especially true for immigration law today. The immigration code has evolved over time into a highly reticulated statute through the work of numerous Congresses and political coalitions. The modern structure of immigration law also effectively delegates vast screening authority to the President. Interlocking historical, political, and legislative developments have opened a tremendous gap between the law on the books and the law on the ground. Under these conditions, there can be no meaningful search for congressionally preferred screening criteria. Far from reflecting a faithful-agent framework, then, immigration enforcement more closely resembles a two-principals model of policymaking—one in which the Executive can and should help construct the domain of regulation through its independent judgments about how and when to enforce the law.

  • 1 Title: Yellow Peril Redux: How the COVID-19
    Title: Yellow Peril Redux: How the COVID-19 Pandemic is Fostering Racial Discrimination Toward Asian Americans Name: Nobuko Adachi Affiliation: Illinois State University In the Mid-March, April, and May 2020, I was in Ocala Florida, Franklin, Tennessee, and Normal Illinois, and noticed several local Chinese restaurants had closed down soon after some states enacted a stay-at home order. It turned out that not several, but numerous, Chinese restaurants, including many of which being mainly take-out even in a normal period, were closing completely, putting up signs like “Due to the coronavirus outbreak we are temporally closed. We will open again when we can.” On the other hand, other restaurants, such as Mexican and Italian establishments were providing food for their customers by adopting, at first, take-out and, later, new ad hoc ways (like curbside service). I wondered at that time why Chinese restaurants were completely closed instead of staying opening for business with take-out or home delivery, which had been their specialty prior to the epidemic. Was it only in the Midwest, or other places? Was it only Chinese restaurants, other Asian restaurants as well? What about restaurants of other ethnic groups whose ancestors’ homelands were severely suffering with Covid-19? In April, 2020, a team of several people and I started calling various Asian restaurants— such as Indian, Chinese, Korean, and Japanese—and Italian and Mexican restaurants all over the United States to find out who was open and who was closed. It looked like no matter what the state or size of town—for example, small towns like Springfield, South Carolina; Hamilton, Montana; and Brunswick, Maine; or large cities like New York, Chicago, and Los Angles— small family-run restaurants were more frequently closed than those run by big chain restaurants.

License: Creative Commons Attribution Non-commercial No Derivatives Unless otherwise stated, copyright owned by the author The Top of the Poppers sing and play punk Russ Bestley, London College of Communication By the mid-1970s, the music industry had a long history of accommodating and recuperating teenage rebellion, and punk’s defiant message of radical change also offered new opportunities for commercial enterprise. A rush to sign new bands who could be (broadly) associated with punk, and the concomitant shift toward ‘new wave’ styles, led to a degree of UK chart success for a number of groups. The inclusion of punk and new wave songs on a series of low-budget compilations featuring cover versions of contemporary hits strikes a particularly discordant tone with punk’s self-styled image of a break with traditional music industry conventions. The albums released on the longstanding budget compilation series Top of the Pops between mid-1977 and early 1982 tell an interesting story about the cultural recuperation of punk, new wave and post-punk, and ask questions, perhaps, about the legitimacy of punk’s often mythologised ‘outsider status’.
