The Immigration and Nationality Law Review INLR is an internationally recognized annual law Academic journal journal , published by William S. Hein & Co., Inc., of New York . Overview Created in 1976, the INLR was originally a reprint journal that served the scholarly community as an anthology of the most seminal law review articles on immigration and nationality. It included legislative summaries and a limited number of original contributions. Since its move to the University of Cincinnati College of Law in 1998 from Western New England College School of Law , the journal has substantially expanded to include student casenotes, comments, book reviews and essays. Today, the INLR is one of only two major student edited American law journals focusing on immigration law , the other being the Georgetown Immigration Law Journal . The INLR s broad scholarly scope often transcends the subject of immigration and encompasses the related fields of constitutional and criminal law, human rights, international law, and ethnic conflict.

The ImmigrationAct of Parliament Act in Canada was created in 1976 by then Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau . It focused on who should be allowed into Canada, not on who should be kept out. The Act came into force in 1978 along with new Immigration Regulations. This Act gave more power to the provinces to set their own immigration laws, and defined prohibited classes in much broader terms. Individuals who could become a burden on social welfare or health services would now be refused entry, rather than specific categories of people, i.e. homosexuals , the disabled , and so on created four new classes of immigrants who could come to Canada, which are refugees , families, assisted relatives, and independent immigrants. While independent immigrants had to take part in the Economic impact of immigration to Canada Points System , other classes did not have to take part in this test so long as they passed basic criminal, security and health checks. This Act also created alternatives to deportation for less serious criminal or medical offenses, since deportation meant the immigrant was barred from entering Canada for life. After 1978, the government could issue 12 month exclusion orders and a departure notice, if the cause for a person s removal wasn t serious. but in some cases it could be severe. The ImmigrationAct of 1976 does not have that much information.
