As an Asian American graduate of Harvard and a Constitutional law professor, I ve been asked about my thoughts on the recent affirmative action case. I think the justices got race wrong in a fundamental way.
Amending the CARE Act in certain ways would advance the President'scommitment to promote what he calls the "armies of compassion" tocombat family and social breakdown. By emphasizing tax incentivesto boost charitable giving, the bill would properly focus attentionon the role of private philanthropy in addressing social ills.

Life for DACA recipients in the U.S. is anything but assured, and a recent federal ruling has unleveled the shaky ground they navigate and drawn sharper curves into their paths.
In Texas last week, U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen called DACA “unlawful” and barred new applicants from applying for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. The immigration program was created via executive order by former President Barack Obama in 2012 as a stopgap measure to shield young immigrants brought to the U.S. by family members from deportation. Five years later, President Donald Trump tried to rescind the program but a Supreme Court decision issued in June 2020 rejected his attempt to do so.
