Aliens and the Law: Some Legal Aspects of the National Treatment of Aliens in the United States (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781469644486)

International customary law prescribes a minimum standard of treatment with which all nations must accord -- aliens are entitled to "life, liberty, and property" while resident outside their own country. Based on a first-hand examination of original sources, this survey shows that, while the United States has carefully maintained its sovereign right to control and limit the immigration of aliens, it has been very generous to those within its gates.

Originally published in 1940.
