A comprehensive guide to the complex United States immigration system, ABA Fundamentals' Immigration Law: A Guide to Laws and Regulations is the essential book for lawyers working in the immigration field, people applying for immigration benefits, students studying U.S. immigration laws, corporate counselors, police officers, and community groups. ABA Fundamentals: Immigration provides a unique, thorough, and accessible explanation of immigration laws and regulations in a compact, portable design. The laws controlling immigration are some of the most complex in the country, and they have a tremendous impact on the lives of the millions of immigrants who are currently in the U.S. and those who work with them. Because of the expansiveness and complexity of these laws, it is imperative that those who work with and represent immigrants have quick and easy access to a reference guide that will provide them with immediate answers to their immigration questions. From those who use immigration…

"While this is titled as—and it is—a book addressing “business” immigration law and practice, that term does not do full justice to the process that this book is about. One clear thing we have learned during our time in this field is that “business” immigration law and practice is really about the process by which our country’s employers can draw ideas and expertise and drive and intellect from the world’s talent pool. This process is far from perfect, and it can be immensely complicated, unpredictable, and difficult to navigate; that’s the reason we have produced this book in the first place. But it is a process, we are convinced, that has contributed to the ability of employers in this country to develop new ideas, find better ways to do things, and create jobs. And it is a process that we have found it a privilege to be involved in." - from the preface

"This first edition of AILA's Practice & Professionalism Toolbox is designed to replace the practice and professionalism materials found in AILA's Immigration Practice Toolbox and to provide a new resource that focuses solely on practice management and legal ethics. In addition to the compilation and reorganization of Practice Toolbox forms, this edition adds a solid collection of articles, checklists, forms, tips, and samples that cover a wide range of practice management and professionalism issues. The practice of law is a profession, but a law practice is a business. The distinction is important: as a practicing lawyer, we need to learn and know the law. However, that knowledge is worthless unless we have clients who can use it and are willing to pay for it. The process of attracting clients, applying the legal knowledge in an efficient and effective manner, and getting paid for that service is the business of law. Without understanding how to deliver legal services, learning the la…

By Hernández, César Cuauhtémoc García. American Bar Association. 1;2016-2. 2016.
At its most basic, "crimmigration" law describes the convergence of two distinct bodies of law: criminal law and procedure with immigration law and procedure. For most of the nation's history, these operated almost entirely free of the other. Criminal law and procedure was thought to be the province of prosecutors, criminal defense attorneys, and the state and federal judges who oversee criminal prosecutions every day. Immigration law, in contrast, was confined to immigration courts housed within the executive branch of the federal government and staffed by immigration attorneys, immigration judges, and prosecutors employed for many years by the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) and now the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). With this in mind, Crimmigration Law lays out crimmigration law's contours. It tracks the legal developments that have created crimmigration law and explains the many ways in which the stark line that once appeared to keep criminal law firmly divided…

"[ A] major contribution to our field " and " a public service to all of us laboring in the fields of employment, labor, and immigration law ." — Ira J. Kurzban ABA Immigration Compliance and Best Practices provides the private bar with hard-to-find information that rivals the resources found on the desks of government lawyers. Nationwide, ICE worksite enforcement actions have increasingly resulted in criminal investigations of employers suspected of violating the federal immigration employment laws. These investigations typically begin as civil ICE I-9 inspections, but once evidence of knowingly hired or continuing to employ violations develop, they turn into criminal investigations that may use search warrants, worksite raids, and other enforcement methods to target employers, their managers, and employees. This book focuses on the best practices that will ensure that your employer is protected by effective compliance solutions. We believe that this ABA publication is the b…

By Rizer, Arthur L, III. American Bar Association. 1;1. 2014.
Author Arthur Rizer is a trial attorney with the U.S. Department of Justice, and adjunct professor of law at Georgetown University Law Center. Rizer developed a casebook for his Georgetown class on the intersection of immigration law and national security issues, and expanded the casebook into this new handbook from the American Bar Association. Immigration law is unique in its national security applications because, while it may be used as a mechanism for keeping the enemy out, it is also the apparatus for entry into the United States. Viewing "national security" in its broadest meaning, there is a clear security interest in maintaining the integrity of the borders while simultaneously preserving our role as a nation that offers refuge. The National Security Implications of Immigration Law examines this topic first by conducting a historical overview of using immigration law for national security purposes, and then exploring the laws and cases themselves: National Security Tools Im…

"The unlawful presence ground of inadmissibility has separated families and hampered the immigration of vast numbers of noncitizens who were otherwise eligible for legal permanent residency. This ground of inadmissibility, commonly understood as the three– and ten–year bars, has severely affected intending immigrants who entered the United States without authorization or overstayed their nonimmigrant status. Faced with the Hobbesian choice of attending a consular interview abroad and triggering the three– or ten– year bar, or remaining in the United States without status, many noncitizens chose to remain in the United States with their families rather than face lengthy separations. For nearly two decades, until January 2013, no remedial legislation, regulation, or policy had tempered the devastating consequences of these bars.

Safe Haven in America: Battles to Open the Golden Door draws on nearly a quarter of a century of the author's practice in the immigration field. The cases presented, however, don't merely involve legal principles, but the human aspects of coming to America – the happiness of a family and children, the results of fighting criminality and corruption, the hopes of safely expressing political, religious, or social beliefs . . . and sometimes, the very stark difference between life and death. The fact that there are so many points of contention suggests that our immigration system is broken. State governments and future administrations have to be aware that there is significant collateral damage from political gridlock. Safe Haven in America: Battles to Open the Golden Door takes a look at immigrations cases that are a part of the immigration question. Most of these stories are people trying to stay in the U.S. under humanitarian grounds, with the federal bureaucracy trying to depo…
