on Immigration |

Howard Chang, the new Earle Hepburn Professor of
Law, is an exceptional scholar, but his interest in the plight of
immigrants has always
been more
than academic. For
a second-generation
Asian-American with
a father from China
and a mother from
Taiwan, the escalating
debate over immigration
is as personal
as it is political.
“Given my family
background, I’ve always
been interested
in immigration,” he
says. “I know a lot of immigrants, and maybe that’s why it’s
struck me as arbitrary that immigration laws make where you
happen to be born such a powerful determinant of your prospects
in life.”
