Uncertain frontiers :Asian immigration and United States citizenship in the age of expansion.
Cushman, Mark Viktor.

Uncertain frontiers :Asian immigration and United States citizenship in the age of expansion.[electronic resource] - 393 p.

Chair: Joel B. Grossman.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Johns Hopkins University, 2000.

<italic>Uncertain Frontiers</italic> argues that, far from being the isolated outgrowth of anti-Asian biases of the past century, the development of immigration law is intimately related to the development of the American state and its assertion of power over various groups of people within its jurisdiction. The problem, in short, is not so much that immigration law is the a-contextual remnant of yesteryear. Rather it joins other bodies of law and governmental practice as an integral component of the type of state that has been constructed over the course of American history.

520 # $a <italic>Uncertain Frontiers</italic> argues that, far from being the isolated outgrowth of anti-Asian biases of the past century, the development of immigration law is intimately related to the development of the American state and its assertion of power over various groups of people within its jurisdiction. The problem, in short, is not so much that immigration law is the a-contextual remnant of yesteryear. Rather it joins other bodies of law and governmental practice as an integral component of the type of state that has been constructed over the course of American history.
520 # $a By stressing that immigration is not simply an issue of “gate-keeping,” but is rather linked to the way the American state has organized and monitored various populations within the national domain, <italic>Uncertain Frontiers </italic> is intended to illuminate interrelationships between areas of law and governmental practice that are most often treated separately. Ultimately, the inter-disciplinary focus is intended to provide a different model of how studies of the U.S. Constitution and the type of state it established might be conducted.
520 # $a Employing both published and archival sources, I begin with the question of how the Framers of the U.S. Constitution intended the national domain to be populated. I then examine the doctrinal and administrative origins of modern immigration law in cases involving paupers and fugitive slaves. The study concludes with a reassessment of the Chinese exclusion era. There I argue that, not only immigration law, but doctrines relating to national governmental power over U.S. citizenship, foreign affairs, and relations with native peoples were being further refined and solidified into the often-troubling precedents and administrative practices we live with today.
520 # $a Scholars commonly locate the origins of contemporary U.S. immigration laws in the Chinese exclusion acts of the late-nineteenth century. They also argue that as these laws were the outgrowth of regional biases with no contemporary political relevance, immigration law should be brought within the mainstream of twentieth-century constitutional developments. <italic>Uncertain Frontiers </italic> supports the conclusion while questioning the premises.
