Sommario Sommario: 1. Sguardo d’insieme sulla legislazione statunitense in materia di immigrazione. – 2. Plenary power doctrine o equal protection of the laws? Gli atteggiamenti della Corte suprema. – 3. (Segue): una distinzione rilevante.
Abstract The analysis focuses on several decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States in order to identify its past and present attitude to federal legislation and acts of the Administration in the field of immigration. What emerges is a succession of judgements which are often inspired by that plenary power doctrine which removes the actions of Congress from supervisory jurisdiction, and which sometimes go as far as a judicial review in the light of the constitutional principle of equal protection. |
