In almost every area of law, from\u003cbr\u003eabortion to zoning, conflicts arise between the states and the federal\u003cbr\u003egovernment over which entity is best suited to create and enforce laws. In the\u003cbr\u003elast decade, immigration has been on the front lines of this debate, with\u003cbr\u003estates such as Arizona taking an extremely assertive role in policing\u003cbr\u003eimmigrants within their borders. While Arizona and its notorious SB 1070 is the\u003cbr\u003emost visible example of states claiming expanded responsibility to make and\u003cbr\u003eenforce immigration law, it is far from alone. An ordinance in\u003cbr\u003eHazelton, Pennsylvania prohibited landlords from renting to the undocumented. Several\u003cbr\u003estates have introduced legislation to deny citizenship to babies who are born\u003cbr\u003eto parents who are in the United States without authorization. Other states\u003cbr\u003ehave also enacted legislation aimed at driving out unauthorized migrants.\u003cbr\u003eStrange Neighbors explores the complicated and complicating role\u003cbr\u003eof the states in immigration policy and enforcement, including voices from both\u003cbr\u003esides of the debate. While many contributors point to the dangers inherent in\u003cbr\u003estate regulation of immigration policy, at least two support it, while others\u003cbr\u003eoffer empirically-based examinations of state efforts to regulate immigration\u003cbr\u003ewithin their borders, pointing to wide, state-by-state disparities in\u003cbr\u003elocally-administered immigration policies and laws. Ultimately, the book offers\u003cbr\u003ean extremely timely, thorough, and spirited discussion on an issue that will\u003cbr\u003econtinue to dominate state and federal legislatures for years to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40854261465185,"sku":"9780814737804","price":39.16,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/8b807dbe72624474382dc2d07cfee322.png?v=1685630979","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9780814737804-strange-neighbors","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
