Off-prints are in! Read about the history of the birth certificate, the idiosyncrasies of “cooperative”federalism that govern birth certificates, and the people caught between federal and state sovereigns in my Article in @SLPRonline!
This @nytimes article sheds light on an important problem, though, as expected, it only barely scratches the surface. nytimes.com/2023/02/25/us/un…
This @propublica article from a few years ago did a deep dive into the same issue, focusing on undocumented children in the United States as opposed to those who had gone through the HHS system: propublica.org/article/insid….
Today's @nytimes article hints at, but doesn't fully unpack the problem that vexes me: How do we ensure children spend minimal time in government custody, while also ensuring that they are not sent into the arms of adults who may not have the means or desire to care for them?

Many African countries have enormous natural resource wealth, but much of the benefits end up in tax havens—boosting the profits of Global North corporations instead of building schools, roads, and hospitals.
I wrote about how African governments can better counter tax avoidance
Tax simplification would level the playing field between tax authorities and multinationals by relying on easily verifiable standards. #TaxAvoidance

Paul Farmer's reflections warrant attention in disciplines far different than medicine and health--indeed, they have been a source of inspiration to me for years. Belatedly, I share one of my favorite quotes: (1/2)
"In settings of privation, [we] are socialized for scarcity and failure . . . . We are urged to avoid “wasting” resources on groups of people who are not expected to make significant improvement." In the face of poverty, we "must resist the impoverishment of aspirations." @PIH
An extraordinary remedy! I'll be interested to see how implementation proceeds.
Wow. Fascinating new regulation going into effect tomorrow to provide at least some remedy to people denied immigrant visas under Trump's discriminatory Travel Ban.
This new rule exempts those people from application fees if they reapply for a new visa: federalregister.gov/public-i…
ALT Proclamation 10141 described Proclamations 9645 and 9983 as “just plain wrong.” As a means of remedying a suspension of entry under Proclamations 9645 and 9983 that the President found objectional as explained in Proclamation 10141, the Department exempts, from payment of immigrant visa fees, applicants who were denied an immigrant visa on or between December 8, 2017, and January 19, 2020, solely due to the Proclamations 9645 and 9983, and who submits a new application for an immigrant visa. Specifically, under this rule, these individuals would be exempt from the applicable immigrant visa application processing fee, as well as the affidavit of support review fee, if the applicant would otherwise be required to pay that fee again.

Today the U.S. lifted border restrictions on tourists and other "non-essential" travelers yet continues to use the pandemic as a pretext to block people seeking life-saving asylum protection, like the thousands still stranded in danger here in the Tijuana tent encampment.
Today, the Lowenstein Project @YaleLawSch, in collaboration with @JimCavallaro and national partners, called on the IACHR to issue precautionary measures against the United States for its inhumane and illegal reliance on Title 42. Read more here: aljazeera.com/news/2021/10/7…
The International Rescue Committee is making short-term, full-time hires as part of their response to Afghani evacuees. Folks with operational experience and refugee/migrant services (legal and casework) experience are needed. rescue.csod.com/ux/ats/caree…
