This decision affects the likelihood that other youth and their family members fleeing gang violence will gain protection in the United States. The reach of the BIA decision in Matter of S-E-G- stretches far beyond the facts of the actual case or gang cases in general and may shape the future of asylum based on membership in a particular social group. The BIA published Matter of S-E-G- as one of only 36 precedent decisions in 2008, making the decision binding on all IJs as well as the BIA itself. The decision is important, as it appears to elevate the notion of “social visibility” from a factor in the determination of a particular social group to a requirement. This article examines how Matter of S-E-G- has affected the legal landscape with regard to asylum claims based on particular social group.Part I of this paper provides a brief background on the Central American gang problem. Part II briefly examines the state of the U.S. law on social group prior to S-E-G-. Part III summarizes the decision itself, analyzes the problematic elements of the decision, and provides an update as to the current status of the case. Part IV examines U.S. case law following S-E-G- in the Circuit Courts of Appeal. Part V presents an analysis of the potential impact of S-E-G- on other social group cases. Part VI explores recent Canadian jurisprudence on gang-related persecution claims, while the conclusion suggests how advocates and judges can move past S-E-G- to carefully consider gang-related cases.","PeriodicalId":408518,"journal":{"name":"Berkeley La Raza Law Journal","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134646410","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The complexity of the socio-economic and political context of immigration has made Congressional attempts to regulate the field difflicult. In the absence of a clear legislative mandate, the courts have played an active role in reviewing state laws and policies. (Judicial concern for federalism questions has often been seen as mutually exclusive with equal protection values when applied to laws regarding the undocumented) Recent decisions have /ocused on either pre-emption or equal protection criteriafor reviewing state legislation, but not both. The modelfor judicial review proposed in this paper permits courts to balance state autonomy values with anti-discrimination protections in a step-by-step procedure for analyzing state treatment of the undocumented Through the process, the rights of undocumented aliens will be safeguarded to the fullest extent possible. To what extent should courts take federalism concerns into account when reviewing state legislation and policies regarding undocumented aliens.' The recent U.S. Supreme Court decision of Plyler v. Doe applied equal protection analysis to strike down a state law discriminating against undocumented alien children, but did not resolve the pre-emption issues raised in the lower courts and in previous cases.2 In skirting the issue of federalism, the Plyler court followed a line of analysis articulated by Professor Jesse Choper as \"the federalism proposal.\"3 This proposal calls for judicial restraint in questions regarding the ultimate power of the federal government vis-a-vis the states, and allows for intervention only to protect individual rights.4 Similarly, recent legal scholarship on undocumented workers puts forth models of judicial review that either neglect federalism entirely or fail to directly address it.5 This essay will show that federalism questions are relevant","PeriodicalId":408518,"journal":{"name":"Berkeley La Raza Law Journal","volume":"86 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134446737","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
