Undocumented Migrants as New (and Peaceful) American Revolutionaries
This essay situates undocumented migrants in the history of the American revolutionary period. The lawbreaking of both groups produced constructive legal and social change. For example, the masses of American revolutionaries and many of their leading men fought to rid the colonies of hereditary aristocracy. Colonists had come to cherish the proto-meritocracy that had bloomed on colonial shores and rankled at local evidence of aristocratic privilege, like the Crownâs grant of landed estates to absentee English aristocrats.
Todayâs equivalent hereditary aristocracy is the citizenry of wealthy democracies like the United States. Hereditary citizens use immigration restrictions to reserve the wealth and privilege of rich-world citizenship for themselves and invited guests. The undocumented peacefully challenge this status quo by migrating and remaining in the United States without permission, securing citizenship for their American-born children, and protesting that âno one is illegal.â In these ways the undocumented seize some of the aristocratic privileges of American citizenship and fight for others. For this and other reasons, the undocumented are contemporary heirs to the revolutionary momentâthe true tea partiers of the twenty-first century

A Nonlinear Plancherel Theorem with Applications to Global Well-Posedness for the Defocusing Davey-Stewartson Equation and to the Inverse Boundary Value Problem of CalderĂłn
We prove a Plancherel theorem for a nonlinear Fourier transform in two
dimensions arising in the Inverse Scattering method for the defocusing
Davey-Stewartson II equation. We then use it to prove global well-posedness and
scattering in for defocusing DSII. This Plancherel theorem also implies
global uniqueness in the inverse boundary value problem of Calder\'on in
dimension , for conductivities \sigma>0 with .
The proof of the nonlinear Plancherel theorem includes new estimates on
classical fractional integrals, as well as a new result on -boundedness of
pseudo-differential operators with non-smooth symbols, valid in all dimensions
