Notes
Hiroshi Motomura is Susan Westerberg Prager Professor of Law at UCLA and author of Americans in Waiting.
WINNER OF THE 2015 PROSE AWARD FOR LAW AND LEGAL STUDIES
"The most thoughtfully and honestly argued brief for a liberal
immigration regime in the United States that one is likely to
find... Professor Motomura develops subtle legal,
historical, and ethical arguments for opening up America's borders
so as to
normalize the movement of hundreds of thousands of migrants who
are
otherwise 'outside the law.'" --Peter Skerry, The American
Interest
"Explains precisely why many unauthorized immigrants should also be
understood as "Americans in waiting" despite their tenuous status
under the law... Reflects a nuanced and humane account of what has
emerged as the policy dilemma of our generation, and the clear and
direct manner in which Motomura offers this account reaffirms his
place as one of the great teachers of our profession." --Stephen
Lee, Harvard Law Review
"Immigration Outside the Law is an exceptional combination of
accessible prose, analytic depth and rigor, exhaustive research and
coverage, and humanity. In short, it is a gem, a treasure trove of
information and essential reading for anyone interested in
immigration or concerned about the lives of immigrants today."
--Cecilia Menjivar, Cowden Distinguished Professor, T. Denny
Sanford School of Social and Family Dynamics, Arizona State
University
"Thoughtful and forward-looking, Immigration Outside the Law
clearly lays out recent immigration programs, initiatives, cases,
and legislation, places these in historical perspective, and links
them to debates over what the United States stands for as a nation.
Motomura's explication of the complexity of the category
'unauthorized immigrant' is invaluable." --Susan Bibler Coutin,
Professor of Criminology, Law & Society and Anthropology,
University of California, Irvine
"Hiroshi Motomura here provides a brilliant framework for thinking
about and debating the relationship between immigration and
law-including how the government enforces the law. All of the major
issues generating controversy in American political and legal
circles are addressed here with Motomura's characteristic deep
insights, broad perspective and fair-mindedness. The book is a tour
de force that will be a touchstone for years to come." --John
Skrentny, Professor of Sociology, University of California, San
Diego
"Immigration Outside the Law is a masterful work that does the
seemingly impossible by offering fresh ways to comprehend and
resolve one of the most hotly-contested dilemmas on the public
agenda. Motomura's analysis is richly developed, clarifying, and
deeply insightful. This important book will alter the way we think
and argue about unauthorized immigration." --Daniel Tichenor,
Philip H. Knight Professor of Social Science, University of
Oregon
"Motomura takes on one of the great moral questions of our time and
in characteristic fashion produces an indispensable meditation on
the social and legal meaning of unlawful immigration status.
Refreshingly, he explains rather than condemns our national
ambivalence. Through deft analysis of history, doctrine, and
institutional practice, he demands that we see beyond our current
politics to devise an immigration system that generations from now
will comport
with our commitments to social integration, equality, and the rule
of law." --Cristina M. Rodriguez, Professor of Law, Yale Law
School
"Hiroshi Motomura, one of the foremost contemporary scholars of
immigration law, has written an immensely thoughtful and
provocative book. It is essential reading for anyone interested in
the subject of immigration." -Gabriel J. Chin, Criminal Law and
Criminal Justice Books
