"A new collection of essaysStrange Neighborsshines a much needed light on state immigration activities and reveals that the federal governments impressive power over migrants lives is only one part of the story." (Crimmigration.com) "In Arizona v. United States (2012), the Supreme Court delivered a landmark ruling that invalidated core provisions of Arizonas S.B. 1070, the controversial state immigration enforcement law that was a model for many states and localities seeking to buttress, and arguably expand on, federal immigration enforcement efforts. Strange Neighbors is one of the first book-length inquiries into the efforts by state and local governments to regulate immigration. With an insightful introduction by Jack Chin and Carissa Byrne Hessick, the book explains the emergence of state and local immigration enforcement laws, the historical antecedents to those laws, provide vigorous defenses of state and local immigration regulation by two of their most prominent advocates, and offer critical evaluations of the state and local efforts to regulate immigration. The authors of the chapters are leaders in the field and authors of some of the most exciting immigration law scholarship being published today. It goes without saying that Strange Neighbors is a 'must read' for anyone interested in immigration enforcement in the twenty-first century." - Kevin R. Johnson,Dean, UC Davis School of Law "The essays in Strange Neighbors provide new and timely insights into decades of debates about how laws, generated by state, local, and federal governments, create or mitigate the impact of national borders on millions of peoplein and outside of the United States." - Judith Resnik,Arthur Liman Professor of Law, Yale Law School "This book provides context, perspective, and the reasoning behind both sides positions. That makes it a valuable resource for anyone seriously interested in gaining a fuller and more nuanced understanding of the debate over federal and states rights in the immigration realm."
