    U.S. legal institutions, many have recognized, harbor systemic biases that create profound racial inequalities. Immigration law is no exception. From the Chinese Exclusion era to modern distinctions in the treatment of Central American, African, Haitian, and Ukrainian asylum seekers, race affects migrants’ access and experience immigrating to the United States. This historical trajectory raises questions that can inform broader conversations about systemic racism: How should we approach a legal regime with explicitly racist foundations? How does the expressly exclusionary function of immigration regulation affect its application to different groups? What role does the discretion inherent in immigration law enforcement play?
