The President and Immigration Law

In "The President and Immigration Law," authors Adam B. Cox and Cristina M. Rodriguez explore the evolution of presidential power in shaping American immigration policy over the past two centuries. They reveal how significant immigration controversies have been driven by presidential actions, contesting the prevalent belief that Congress should hold this authority. Through historical examples, from early debates to current issues involving asylum-seekers, the authors illustrate how presidential decisions have transformed into a pivotal force in immigration policymaking.
