In 1975, Texas adopted a law allowing school districts to bar
children from public schools if they were in the United States
unlawfully. The US Supreme Court responded in 1982 with a landmark
decision, Plyler v. Doe, that kept open the schoolhouse doors,
allowing these children to get the education that state law would
have denied. The Court established a child's constitutional right
to attend public elementary and secondary schools, regardless of
immigration status. With Plyler, three questions emerged that have
remained central to the national conversation about immigration
outside the law: What does it mean to be in the country unlawfully?
What is the role of state and local governments in dealing with
unauthorized migration? Are unauthorized migrants "Americans in
waiting?"
Today, as the United States weighs immigration reform, debates over
"illegal" or "undocumented" immigrants have become more polarized
than ever. In Immigration Outside the Law, acclaimed immigration
law expert Hiroshi Motomura, author of the award-winning Americans
in Waiting, offers a framework for understanding why these debates
are so contentious. In a reasoned, lucid, and careful discussion,
he explains the history of unauthorized migration, the sources of
current disagreements, and points the way toward durable answers.
In his refreshingly fair-minded analysis, Motomura explains the
complexities of immigration outside the law for students and
scholars, policy-makers looking for constructive solutions, and
anyone who cares about this contentious issue.
