Immigration Federalism: A Reappraisal.
Forthcoming from NYU Law Review.
This article identifies how the current spate of state and local regulation is changing the way elected officials, scholars, courts, and the public think about the constitutional dimensions of immigration law and governmental responsibility for immigration enforcement. Building on prior work, it presents an evidence-based theory of the process of state and local policy proliferation; it cautions legal scholars to rethink functionalist accounts for the rise of such laws; and it advises courts to reassess their use of traditional federalism frameworks to evaluate these subfederal enactments.

Restrictive Attitudes towards Same-Sex Marriage:
The Varying Importance of Gender by Race
In the aftermath of Proposition 8, a California constitutional amendment repealing gay marriage, attention focused on whether African Americans and Latinos propelled the measure to victory. Lost amidst the dominant framing around race was the role of gender, and the intersectional roles played by gender across racial and ethnic groups. We make use of two surveys of California voters to show that gender plays a different role in shaping gay marriage attitudes among whites and African Americans than among Latinos and Asian Americans. We discuss the reasons for this divergence in light of past research on the predominance of straight-marriage norms among the latter two groups.
