AB In both the United States and Europe, governments have stepped up initiatives toreduce unauthorized immigration. Direct immigration control measures such as border security arejust one aspect of these efforts. Another key aspect consists of indirect immigration control measures,in the form of laws that restrict the ability of undocumented immigrants to work, study, rentproperty, or access public services.This article reviews recent developments in the United Stateswith respect to indirect immigration control measures and maps out some points of comparisonwith analogous developments within the European Union. It provides an account of the wave ofstate and local anti-immigrant laws that swept the United States between 2006 and 2011 andsummarizesthe developing U.S. jurisprudence on the constitutionality of these measures. It then offerssome initial observations comparing the United States to the E.U. This comparison highlights thedistinction between approaching anti-immigrant laws through the lens of federalism (or, in theterminology more common in Europe, competence) and approaching such laws as violations offundamental rights.
