	AsianWeek.com: National News: Racism Still On the Law Books
		Under the alien land law acts, passed from 1913 to the 1930s, immigrants who were ineligible for citizenship could not own land in the states in which the acts were passed.
		Soon after, student groups from law schools in the three states began collaborating with the journal’s staff, and together they launched a petition that has amassed signatures from over 100 legal scholars throughout the country, demanding the repeal of these discriminatory acts.
		Chin believes these laws are still on the books – not because anyone still wants them there – but because there were so many racially discriminatory provisions in numerous state statute books that it has taken decades to find them, long after they had been declared federally unconstitutional.

	Civil Liberties Implications of Terrorism Legislation
		If the court determined that the summary would provide the alien with "substantially the same ability to make his defense as would disclosure of the specific evidence" the alien could be deported based on the summary, and on the basis of the secret evidence, viewed by the court in camera and ex parte.
		An alien -- including a permanent resident alien -- could be deported for providing material support to a group the alien should have known had conducted terrorism activity, even if the alien provided the support for non-violent, charitable activity and had no intention of furthering any other activity.
		Under current law, an alien who has engaged in terrorist activity, or who the Attorney General or a consular officer abroad has reasonable grounds to believe is likely to engage in terrorist activity after entry, is excludable.

	Immigration Law Updates: Perry and Baker, Chicago lawyers, Mobile Edition
		Once an alien enters the country, the legal circumstance changes, for the Due Process Clause applies to all persons within the United States, including aliens, whether their presence is lawful, unlawful, temporary, or permanent.
		Finally, the aliens’ liberty interest is not diminished by their lack of a legal right to live at large, for the choice at issue here is between imprisonment and supervision under release conditions that may not be violated and their liberty interest is strong enough to raise a serious constitutional problem with indefinite detention.
		Now that prosecutors have received the benefit of plea agreements, facilitated by the aliens belief in their continued eligibility for 212(c) relief, it would be contrary to considerations of fair notice, reasonable reliance, and settled expectations to hold that IIRIRA deprives them of any possibility of such relief.

	Alien and Sedition Acts
		Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government of a redress of grievances.
		The Sedition Law failed to coincide with this amendment in that it criminalized the exercise of free speech, and possibly of the press.
		Since the Alien and Sedition Acts greatly threatened the authority of the Bill of Rights and therefore the fundamental government, it is surprising to consider that some of the opposition's responses proposed similar threats to central government.

	Law.com - Alien Tort Action Survives Concerns of U.S., Canada
		The opposition of the U.S. State Department and the government of Canada to a lawsuit against a Canadian oil company over human rights abuses in the Sudan was not enough to convince a federal judge to dismiss the case.
		Southern District of New York Judge Denise Cote said that a "Statement of Interest" from the U.S. government expressing concern over problems that might be caused by allowing the suit against the oil company to proceed failed to persuade her to decline jurisdiction in the case of The Presbyterian Church of Sudan v.
		Cote's ruling was the latest of several in the case, which was brought under the Alien Tort Statute, 28 U.S.C. The suit claims that Talisman joined with the government of Sudan in a campaign of genocide, crimes against humanity and other violations of international law.

	SSRN-The Paradox of United States Alien Species Law by Marc Miller
		The best way to summarize U.S. non-indigenous species law is to say that at the federal level there is very little statutory law, and for important dimensions of the NIS problem, including identifying new NIS invasions, tracking the impact of known harmful invasive species, and responding to emerging threats, there is none.
		The law of the various U.S. states is even easier to summarize: with a few interesting exceptions, including NIS legislation in Hawaii and Minnesota, most U.S. states at best offer a weak echo of the general aspects of federal statutory law.
		At a minimum, as a matter of coherent law and policy, a single, organic NIS law should be articulated, and that model then used to assess gaps in actual current legal authority.

		The climate of legal and commercial uncertainty arising from the proposed extraterritorial reach of US law is creating unnecessary disputes and tension between EU countries and the United States Government, at a time when international cooperation is seen as a key condition for global economic recovery.
		The problems raised by the abusive use of the Alien Tort Statute are perfect examples of how the extraterritorial reach of national laws results in unwarranted costs to business and ultimately discourages cross-border trade and investment - a major driving force for global economic growth and job creation.
		We were concerned about the implications of a law enacted by Belgium that would have allowed a flood of law suits in that country against companies for alleged actions in third countries.

	Heather Mac Donald on Immigration on National Review Online
		Their argument boils down to: "We are here, therefore we have a right to the immigration status we desire." Like the postmodern signifier, this legal claim refers to nothing outside of itself; it is, in the jargon of deconstruction, a presence based on an absence.
		The consequences of this novel argument are not insignificant: the demise of nation-states and of the rule of law.
		Therefore, the existing laws are void — simply because the illegal aliens and their supporters do not like them, not because Congress has decided to withdraw them.
