The Domestic Legal Sources of Immigrant Rights: the United States, Germany, and the European Union

C. Joppke

Working Papers from European Institute - Political and Social Sciences

Abstract: That rights have legal sources seems to be a tautology, because in the modern legal state there are no rights unless they are legally codified and implemented. Regarding immigrants, however, the notion that rights have legal sources takes on substantive meaning. In this paper, the author will compare the development of immigrant rights in the United States, Germany, and the European Union.
