The MexicoBlog of the Americas Program, a fiscally sponsored program of the Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR), is written by Laura Carlsen. I monitor and analyze international press on Mexico, with a focus on security, immigration, human rights and social movements for peace and justice, from a feminist perspective.

Immigration Politics: New Jersey editorial - In fighting illegal immigration, state GOP lawmakers mock rule of law
In fighting illegal immigration, state GOP lawmakers mock rule of law | courierpostonline.com | Courier-Post: "The legislators who want to restrict citizenship to those children born to citizens or legal permanent resident aliens point to the 'subject to the jurisdiction' phrase (in the 14th Amendment to the Constitution) as exempting illegal immigrants.
