| .......At-Risk Reports (2000-01) |
In 2000-01, CLINIC published a series of reports on immigration issues based
on numerous case studies. These are not current reports.
The reports identify, track and examine the impact of our nation's immigration
laws and policies on at-risk immigrants. They illustrate particularly compelling
problems faced by immigrants, clear explanations of the law at the root of such
problems, and other research. The reports are offered below in .pdf format.

- Placing Immigrants At Risk (Report 1)
Through more than 60 case studies of newcomers experiencing hardship in the United States, the report attempts to put a human
face on the harsher aspects of our nation's immigration laws. The report addresses the following topics:
· Family-Based Immigration: Backlogs, Processing Delays, and Poor Service
· The Undocumented and Others Subject to Bars on Admission · Victims of Domestic Violence
· How Detention Divides Family · Workplace Raids · Unauthorized Legal Practitioners
- Citizenship At Risk (Report 2)
Illustrates the problems that plague the U.S naturalization process. More than 20 case studies detail the stories of lawful
permanent residents facing the backlog, poor customer service, increased application fees, and fee waiver inaccessibility. The
report also addresses elderly and disabled applicants, good moral character issues, naturalization test standards, denials, and
denaturalization.
- Work Without Justice (Report 3)
Highlights the plight of low-income immigrant laborers in the United States. Follows immigrant laborers from their countries of origin
on their often perilous journeys to the United States, documents the harsh reality they find upon arrival, and describes the horrors
faced by migrants smuggled into the United States by organized crime syndicates. The report contains more than 25 case studies
with a particular focus on day laborers, service sector employees, migrant farmworkers, and immigrants in the meatpacking and
poultry industries.
Addresses the growing population of immigrant detainees, including asylum seekers, children, indefinite and mandatory detainees,
and those subject to removal from the U.S. based on secret evidence.
- Chaos on the U.S. - Mexican Border (Report 5)
A Report on Migrant Crossing Deaths, Immigrant Families and Subsistence-Level Laborers. Like past reports, this one attempts to
put a human face on immigration and labor problems through dozens of case studies. The report covers border crossing deaths,
human rights abuses against migrants in Mexico and the United States, the inundation of border communities with Border Patrol
agents, ranchers, Indian nations, the expansion of U.S. enforcement activities outside U.S. territorial limits (and the consequences
for the international regime of refugee protection), labor abuses, farm workers, NAFTA-displaced workers, the unincorporated
communities known as colonias, foreign-owned assembly plants (maquiladoras) in Northern Mexico, the impact of U.S.
immigration laws on border families, etc. It ends with a series of recommended changes to U.S. immigration and labor laws and
policies.
