CONCLUSION --$tNOTES --$tINDEX 330 $aGerald Neuman discusses in historical and contemporary terms the repeated efforts of U.S. insiders to claim the Constitution as their exclusive property and to deny constitutional rights to aliens and immigrants--and even citizens if they are outside the nation's borders. Tracing such efforts from the debates over the Alien and Sedition Acts in 1798 to present-day controversies about illegal aliens and their children, the author argues that no human being subject to the governance of the United States should be a "stranger to the Constitution. "Thus, whenever the government asserts its power to impose obligations on individuals, it brings them within the constitutional system and should afford them constitutional rights. In Neuman's view, this mutuality of obligation is the most persuasive approach to extending constitutional rights extraterritorially to all U.S. citizens and to those aliens on whom the United States seeks to impose legal responsibilities. Examining both mutuality and more flexible theories, Neuman defends some constitutional constraints on immigration and deportation policies and argues that the political rights of aliens need not exclude suffrage. Finally, in regard to whether children born in the United States to illegally present alien parents should be U.S. citizens, he concludes that the Constitution's traditional shield against the emergence of a hereditary caste of "illegals" should be vigilantly preserved. 606 $aNoncitizens$zUnited States 606 $aEmigration and immigration law$zUnited States 606 $aCivil rights$zUnited States 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aNoncitizens 615 0$aEmigration and immigration law 615 0$aCivil rights 676 $a342.73/082 676 $a347.30282 700 $aNeuman$b Gerald L.$f1952-$01026886 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455525603321 996 $aStrangers to the Constitution$92442042 997 $aUNINA
