Description
This course is designed to give students an overview of immigration and citizenship and to provide an opportunity for more in depth understanding of a particular topic in this area. It will cover in a broad way the following topics: immigration and citizenship, citizenship by birth and naturalization, dual nationality, family-based immigration issues (including domestic violence and sexual orientation), employment-based immigration issues, refugees and asylees, legalization, exclusion, and deportation (including post-9/11 restrictions and proposals). Our study of each of these topics will include focus on the underlying race, ethnicity, gender and sexual orientation themes of immigration and citizenship laws. Throughout the course, we will be referring to the statutory and regulating schemes that control in this area; students will be required to become familiar with the Immigration and Nationality Act and regulations interpreting the statute.
