Immigration Policy is Still Racist and Illegal

I just finished editing Mark Dow's paper for an upcoming issue of Social Research (where I work). It is about how immigration policy is de facto unlawful imprisonment and violates the constitution through bureaucratic wrangling, and how the Justice Department has continued to do so despite Supreme Court rulings against it. It is very good, and any one interested in immigration policy or thinks that current immigration policy is not illegal and racist should read it. Unfortunately, I can't get you a copy because of the stage of the article's publication. However, Mark Dow also wrote the book American Gulag, and although I haven't read that, I believe that most of the paper is culled from the research he did for that book. The SR issue that will include the paper comes out in July, and comprised of all the papers presented at the conference last fall on "Punishment". You can get ahold of the article then.
