To avoid extinctions and other harms to ecological health from escalating climatic change, scientists, resource managers, and activists are considering and even engaging in "assisted migration" -- the intentional movement of an organism to an area in which its species has never existed. This article explores the profound implications of climate change for American natural resource management through the lens of this controversial adaptation strategy. It details arguments regarding the scientific viability and legality of assisted migration under the thicket of laws that govern natural resources in the US. The article explains why contemporary natural resource law's fidelity to historic baselines, protecting preexisting biota, and shielding nature from human activity is increasingly unte...

Immigration from abroad has increased dramatically since the 1960s, as workers from less developed countries have moved to the US in search of higher wages. One way immigration affects the economy is through the labor market. At the national level, immigration is widely believed to harm native workers with similar skills by reducing their wages or their probability of obtaining a job. Some natives may move out of these markets to avoid a cut in wages, and other natives may avoid these markets even if they would be well suited to living there on other grounds. This article sheds new light on the impact of immigration on the allocation of workers across markets. The authors conclude that the impact of immigration on the geographic allocation of labor is neither as harmful as immigration o...

The implementation of Check 21 legislation in the fourth quarter of 2004 further accelerated the migration from paper to electronic payments. Check 21 is an Act to facilitate check truncation by authorizing substitute checks, to foster innovation in the check collection system without mandating receipt of checks in electronic form, and to improve the overall efficiency of the US' payments system, and for other purposes. Pres Bush signed the Check Truncation Act into law on Oct 28, 2003. The law, commonly referred to as Check 21, provides a legal framework for banks to accept substitute forms of checks effective Oct 2004. The goals of the legislation are the reduction of systemic risk of lost checks due to business continuity failure, such as Sep 11, and cost reduction by allowing banks ...
