This publication includes cases that depict the Supreme Court鈥檚 broad deference to the political branches in the immigration realm, the so-called 鈥減lenary power doctrine.鈥� Selected cases are presented in chronological order, beginning with the Supreme Court鈥檚 consideration of the Chinese Exclusion Acts of the 1880s and 1890s. The book then examines how the Cold War tested the constitutional limits of the government鈥檚 plenary power over immigration, and how 鈥減hantom constitutional norms鈥� were later used to defeat the government鈥檚 broadest claims. Other cases explore the immigration enforcement system and the difficulty of balancing the demands of enforcement against other societal goals.
