Balancing Borders : A New Court Considers Immigration
Immigration laws have traditionally been the domain of the US Congress and the federal government. However, in recent years numerous state and local governments have debated and enacted legislation affecting immigrants in areas ranging from employment to housing to licensing. State action in a traditionally federal domain has prompted litigation with cases currently being brought across the country. Several federal courts have already considered the legitimacy of state and local government action, with cases pending or decided in the Third, the Ninth and the Tenth Circuit Courts of Appeal and the United States Supreme Court. Cases destined for the Court in 2010 will find a newly configured Supreme Court – one that has seen significant turnover in the last five years. That turnover has resulted in a new center, one often occupied by Justice Anthony Kennedy. This paper examines some of the issues raised by the recent immigration cases and the likely reception and determination of those issues by Justice Kennedy based on a review of the Justice's previous opinions in related matters before the Court
