Deporting Our Souls: Values, Morality, and Immigration Policy

Bill Ong Hing, a UC Davis Professor of Law and Asian American Studies and the director of the law school clinical programs, will have a new book out in September. Deporting Our Souls: Values, Morality, and Immigration Policy discusses the major immigration policy areasundocumented workers, the immigration selection system, deportation of aggravated felons, national security and immigration policy, and the integration of new Americans. Hing suggests his own proposals on how to address the policy challenges from a perspective that encourages us to consider the moral consequences of our decisions. He also reviews some of the policies that have been put forth and suggests new policies that would be good for the country economically and socially.

Hing has litigated before the United States Supreme Court and was the co-counsel in the precedent setting case INS v. Cardoza-Fonseca (1986), establishing a more generous standard for asylum seekers. He is the author of many books on immigration, including Defining America Through Immigration Policy and To Be an American.
