Share of Immigration Cases Ending in Deportation Orders Hits Record Low
February 2012
http://trac.syr.edu/immigration/reports/272/

Excerpt: In percentage terms, the shift was striking. In only about half of the cases (50.8 percent) were individuals ordered removed. This was down substantially from the 56.1 percent who were ordered removed during the previous quarter. Nationally, this is the smallest share ever recorded in court data tracking outcomes during the past two decades.

An additional 14.0 percent received a so-called 'voluntary departure' order to leave the country, up slightly from 13.2 percent during the previous quarter. Counting both removal and voluntary departure orders, slightly fewer than two out of every three cases (64.8 percent) in the first quarter of FY 2012 ended in a deportation order, also an historic low.

Note that these dramatic changes may be related to a review by ICE of all pending Immigration Court cases. The aim of this review, announced on August 18, 2011, was to identify cases which were not deemed to be enforcement priorities

Excerpt:

Declining Focus on Immigration

The share of Americans ranking illegal immigration as a top priority has fallen to 39% from 46% a year ago and 55% in 2007. This decline has occurred across party lines, with a notable drop among Republicans. In 2007, illegal immigration was the second-highest priority after terrorism for Republicans, with 69% rating it as a top priority. Today, 48% of Republicans rate it as a top priority, placing it behind 11 other priorities.

The Immigration Crucible: Transforming Race, Nation, and the Limits of the Law
By Philip Kretsedemas

Columbia University Press, 232 pp.

Hardcover, ISBN: 0231157606, $84.50
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0231157606/centerforimmigra

Paperback, ISBN: 0231157614, $27.50
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0231157614/centerforimmigra

Kindle, 764 KB, ASIN: B006VFJJQ4, $13.19

Book Description: In the debate over U. S. immigration, all sides now support policy and practice that expand the parameters of enforcement. Philip Kretsedemas examines this development from several different perspectives, exploring recent trends in U.S. immigration policy, the rise in extralegal state power over the course of the twentieth century, and discourses on race, nation, and cultural difference that have influenced politics and academia. He also analyzes the recent expansion of local immigration law and explains how forms of extralegal discretionary authority have become more prevalent in federal immigration policy, making the dispersion of local immigration laws possible.

While connecting such extralegal state powers to a free flow position on immigration, Kretsedemas also observes how these same discretionary powers have been used historically to control racial minority populations, particularly African Americans under Jim Crow. This kind of discretionary authority often appeals to 'states rights' arguments, recently revived by immigration control advocates. Using these and other examples, Kretsedemas explains how both sides of the immigration debate have converged on the issue of enforcement and how, despite differing interests, each faction has shaped the commonsense assumptions defining the debate.

Shaping the Immigration Debate: Contending Civil Societies on the U.S.-Mexico Border
By Cari Lee Skogberg Eastman

Eurospan, 259 pp.

Hardcover, ISBN: 1935049461, $65.00
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1935049461/centerforimmigra

Book Description: Stories of interactions between unauthorized immigrants crossing the border into Arizona and the US citizens they encounter have made headlines not only in areas adjacent to the border, but across the entire United States. How have these stories, along with adamant members of civil societyzthose who provide help to travelers in need, as well as those who wish to stop what they see as an invasion of foreignerszshaped public understanding of what happens along the US/Mexico border? And what has this meant for current immigration policy?Addressing these questions, Cari Eastman explores the relationship among passionate citizen groups in southern Arizona, the messages they promote, and public understanding at the national level of the issues at stake in the immigration debate. Her work encourages thoughtful dialogue, not only about immigration, but also about our own notions of citizenship and belonging.

Latino Immigrants in the United States
By Ronald L. Mize and Grace Pena Delgado

Polity, 200 pp.

Hardcover, ISBN: 0745647421, $64.95
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0745647421/centerforimmigra

Paperback, ISBN: 074564743X, $22.95
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/074564743X/centerforimmigra

Book Description: This timely and important book introduces readers to the largest and fastest-growing minority group in the United States - Latinos - and their diverse conditions of departure and reception.

A central theme of the book is the tension between the fact that Latino categories are most often assigned from above, and how those defined as Latino seek to make sense of and enliven a shared notion of identity from below. Providing a sophisticated introduction to emerging theoretical trends and social formations specific to Latino immigrants, chapters are structured around the topics of Latinidad or the idea of a pan-ethnic Latino identity, pathways to citizenship, cultural citizenship, labor, gender, transnationalism, and globalization. Specific areas of focus include the 2006 marches of the immigrant rights movement and the rise in neoliberal nativism (including both state-sponsored restrictions such as Arizona’s SB1070 and the hate crimes associated with Minutemen vigilantism).

The book is a valuable contribution to immigration courses in sociology, history, ethnic studies, American Studies, and Latino Studies. It is one of the first, and certainly the most accessible, to fully take into account the plurality of experiences, identities, and national origins constituting the Latino category.

Migrations and the Media
By Bernhard Gross, Kerry Moore, and Terry Threadgold

Peter Lang Publishing, 352 pp.

Hardcover, ISBN: 1433107724, $149.95
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1433107724/centerforimmigra

Paperback, ISBN: 1433107716, $37.95
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1433107716/centerforimmigra

Book Description: Migrations and the Media critically explores the global reporting of migration crises, bringing together a range of original interdisciplinary research from the fields of migration studies and journalism, media and cultural studies. Its chapters examine, empirically and theoretically, some of the most important contemporary political, cultural and social issues with which migration is entwined, developing existing and new conceptual understandings of how forced migration and other instances of migration are represented and constructed as crises in different international contexts, including within news narratives on human trafficking and smuggling, asylum seeking and humanitarian reporting, climate refugees, undocumented and economic migrants, and in election debates and policy making. This edited volume also examines the reporting practices through which migration coverage is produced, including the rights and responsibilities of journali!
sm and the presuppositions and
pressures upon journalists working in this area.

Migration and Remittances from Mexico: Trends, Impacts, and New Challenges
By Alfredo Cuecuecha and Carla Pederzini

Lexington Books, 276 pp.

Hardcover, ISBN: 0739169793, $75.00
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0739169793/centerforimmigra

Book Description: Migration and Remittances from Mexico: Trends, Impacts, and New Challenges, edited by Alfredo Cuecuecha and Carla Pederzini, compiles twelve articles on the migration phenomenon from Mexico and other Latin American countries to the United States.

The first part of the book provides an overview of three recent surveys, all carried out in Mexico. The surveys consider international migration flows from Mexico to the US, the characteristics of migrants, and some of the causes and effects of migration in Mexico both for national and rural samples. The next section of the book analyzes the factors that explain the relationship between internal migration and human development. Then, the authors look at different issues of migration from Mexico and Latin American countries to the US. The topics include female educational selection in migrants from Mexico to the US, the impact of differences in the US-Mexico labor market outcomes on the migratory flow, the working conditions of Mexican migrants to the US under H2 visas, and the breadth and depth of migrants' connections from Latin American countries to the US. The fourth and final section of the book studies a variety of aspects related to remittances from US to Mexico an!
d Latin American countries, including
whether remittances promote growth in Mexico, whether remittances sent to Mexico finance migration of more Mexicans to the US, and whether remittances have positive impacts in the households that receive them.

The contributors to Migration and Remittances from Mexico are specialized migration researchers, trained in a broad variety of fields, including economics, sociology, demography, and political science in both Mexico and the United States. This range of backgrounds provides an essential multidiscipinary perspective from both sides of the border.

Migrants and Cities
By Margit Fauser

Ashgate, 230 pp.

Hardcover, ISBN: 1409421864, $84.84
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1409421864/centerforimmigra

Book Description: Migrants have organized at all times and in all cities and places. The processes of their accommodation, however, differ, with local authorities and other state institutions playing an important role in these processes. Offering comprehensive empirical insights both from recent sites of immigration in Southern Europe, as well as from places of more established immigration in the north, this book examines the accommodation of migrant organizations in different cities and the factors that affect this process. It thus sheds light on the manner in which the interplay of immigration regime, national integration policy and local responses shape the differing patterns and trajectories observed in the formation and action of migrant organizations across Europe.

Theorising Integration and Assimilation
Edited by Jens Schneider and Maurice Crul

Routledge, 144 pp.

Hardcover, ISBN: 0415680026, $125.00
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0415680026/centerforimmigra

Book Description: Theorising Integration and Assimilation discusses the current theories of integration and assimilation, particularly those focused on the native-born children of immigrants, the second generation. Using empirical research to challenge many of the dominant perspectives on the assimilation of immigrants and their children in the western world in political and media discourse, the book covers a wide range of topics including:

* transatlantic perspectives and a focus on the lessons to be mutually learnt from American and European approaches to integration and assimilation

* rich empirical data on the assimilation/integration of second generations in various contexts

* a new theoretical approach to integration processes in urban settings on both sides of the Atlantic

This volume brings together leading scholars in Migration and Integration Studies to provide a summary of the central theories in this area. It will be an important introduction for scholars, researchers and students of Migration, Integration, and Ethnic Studies.
