Irregular Immigration Approaches: A Comparative Law Study USA – Spain
The regulation in this area is a real democratic and moral test for the States, and comparing the status of rights of illegal aliens in the Spanish legal system and in the United States may be of extraordinary mutual interest given the confluence of a number of similarities and differences.
Project Phases
- Analysis of the scope of international commitments undertaken by the United States and Spain on irregular immigration and in the study of the distribution of powers between Federation and States in the United States, and between central government and Autonomous Communities in Spain.
- Preparation and organization of the International Conference “Immigration in a USA-Spain comparative context”.
- Preparation of the Manual on “The regulatory treatment of irregular immigration: a study of comparative law between USA and Spain” for subsequent publication.
