Ray, S. B. (2021). Immigration Law’s Arbitrariness Problem. Columbia Law Review, 121(7), 2049–2117.
This article highlights the issue of deportation's disproportionate penalties within the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). It argues that the lack of justification and transparency in the immigration bureaucracy's implementation of penalties creates a "shadow system" where decisions are made ad hoc, without adequate reasoning. The article proposes building an infrastructure for reason-giving in the immigration bureaucracy to address the problem of arbitrariness and enable the public to demand more justifiable and proportional penalties.

Bowie, N., & Rast, N. (2022). The Imaginary Immigration Clause. Michigan Law Review, 120(7), 1419–1498. https://doi.org/10.36644/mlr.120.7.imaginary
This article challenges the Supreme Court's traditional reading of the Chinese Exclusion Case, which has been used to justify Congress's broad power to regulate immigration. The author argues that throughout history, there was a consensus that Congress did not have a separate and unlimited power to regulate immigrants, and that the Court's deference to federal immigration laws without the same scrutiny applied to domestic legislation lacks a coherent explanation. The article suggests that rather than relying on judicial review, Congress should reconsider the extent of its immigration laws within the framework of Article I.

González-Leonardo, M., Potančoková, M., Yildiz, D., & Rowe, F. (2023). Quantifying the impact of COVID-19 on immigration in receiving high-income countries. PloS One, 18(1), e0280324. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0280324
This study analyzes the impact of COVID-19 on immigration in 15 high-income countries. The results indicate that immigration decreased in most countries, except for Finland, with Australia, Spain, and Sweden experiencing the largest declines. The study suggests that international travel restrictions and mobility constraints have a significant impact on immigration, while work and school closings and unemployment do not appear to be driving forces behind the changes in immigration patterns.
