  • Backlash, Big Stakes, and Bad Laws: How the Right Went for Broke and the Left Fought Back in the Fight Over the 1996 Immigration Laws
    BACKLASH, BIG STAKES, AND BAD LAWS: HOW THE RIGHT WENT FOR BROKE AND THE LEFT FOUGHT BACK IN THE FIGHT OVER THE 1996 IMMIGRATION LAWS Frank Sharry* ABSTRACT This Article reflects upon the political contestation that led to the enact- ment of the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act and the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act, contextualizing the anti-immigration backlash and debates. Further, this Article discusses some of the ways in which immigration advocates sought to respond to that back- lash, sometimes controversially. Finally, the Article considers lessons to be learned for contemporary discussions over immigration reform, highlighting the changing political landscape and available paths through which advo- cates might successfully achieve fair and meaningful immigration reform. * Founder and Executive Director (2008–present), America’s Voice and America’s Voice Educa- tion Fund; Executive Director (1990–2008), National Immigration Forum.

Smith Congressman Lamar Smith served as Chairman of the House Committee on the Judiciary in the 112th Congress from 2011– 2013. The Judiciary Committee approved 33 substantive bills that became law, more than any other Committee in that Congress.
