The articles in this volume present the views of government representatives and others on law and policy affecting aliens, especially undocumented aliens, in the United States. Part 1 of the volume deals with legal rights and legal representation. Individual papers discuss the role and activities of the Immigration and Naturalization Service; aliens' legal rights in interrogation, detention, and arrest situations; deportation and exclusion proceedings; guidelines for lawyers representing aliens who face deportation or criminal charges; legal rights in the visa process; and procedures for appeal, judicial review, and motion practice in cases involving aliens. Papers in part 2 deal with possible law and policy changes to regularize the legal status of aliens or improve their plight, specifically addressing: current issues in immigration policy; policy developments and proposals for aliens under the Carter administration; criticisms of the Carter proposals; how immigration policy relates to labor policy, foreign policy, population growth, and naturalization; and legislative proposals concerning undocumented aliens. Contributers include Leonel J. Castillo, Austin T. Fragomen, Jr., Herman L. Bookford, Maurice A. Roberts, Jack Wasserman, Cornelius D. Scully, Peter Schey, Charles Gordon, Leonard F. Walentynowicz, Annie M. Gutierrez, David Crossland, Anthony J. Bevilacqua, Charles B. Keely, and Sam Bernsen. (Author/MJL)
