Abstract: Examines the effects of strict anti-illegal immigrant legislation in communities across the United States, and argues that such laws only serve to promote nativism and backlashes against all immigrants, regardless of legal status, while having disastrous economic and social consequences. Special emphasis is given to the efforts of attorney and former chief legal counsel to the Federation For American Immigration Reform (FAIR) Kris Kobach, who was the driving force behind many of these laws and has defended them in court against charges that they violate civil rights and illegally intrude on the federal government's exclusive role in immigration enforcement.
