When Panethnic Primes Get Trumped: Unpacking Latinx Voter Preferences in the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election
Throughout his presidency, Trump employed exclusionary rhetoric and implemented policies that targeted Latinxs. Based on prior research on the political effects of co-ethnic group-based attacks, many expected Latinxs to close ranks and mobilize against Trump in 2020. Yet a larger percentage of Latinx voters supported Trump in 2020 than in 2016. Drawing on a representative survey of Latinxs, we examine the characteristics of the Latinx electorate …
Shared Space and Civic Engagement: Block Parties and Voter Turnout in Philadelphia
Along with socioeconomic resources, “strong ties” of family and friends increase political engagement. However, most daily interactions are casual encounters with “weak” social ties. How do these interactions shape political participation in urban environments? Interpersonal contact with weak ties may enable information sharing and increase voting participation. Using an original individual-level dataset that merges geocoded Census data, voter fi…
Political Incorporation, Interrupted? The Effects of Loss and Distress Following the 2016 U.S. Elections on the Civic Attitudes and Involvement of Latino Immigrants
Reassessing Race and Ethnicity through a Migration Lens
It is now taken as a given in the social sciences that race and ethnicity are constructed social categories, with situational elements that vary by individuals’ contexts. However, because of the role that state institutions play in assigning ethnicity, and reifying these categories from everything from the date they collect to their assignment of public goods, in practice social scientists still treat ethnic and racial categories as fixed.
Welcoming, Trust, and Civic Engagement: Immigrant Integration in Metropolitan America
Prior studies have sought to understand how immigrants integrate into U.S. society, focusing on the ways in which local contexts and institutions limit immigrant incorporation. In this study, we consider how interactions among immigrants and U.S.-born within receiving communities contribute to the process of immigrant integration. We emphasize the extent to which immigrants perceive that they are welcome in their social environments and the downs…
How Does Interracial Contact Among the U.S.-Born Shape White and Black Receptivity Toward Immigrants
A notable increase in immigration into the United States over the past half century, coupled with its recent geographic dispersion into new communities nationwide, has fueled contact among a wider set of individuals and groups than ever before. Past research has helped us understand Whites’ and Blacks’ attitudes toward immigrants and immigration, and even how contact between Blacks and Whites have shaped their attitudes toward one another. Nevert…
How Contact Experiences Shape Welcoming: Perspectives from U.S.-Born and Immigrant Groups
This research examines how intergroup contact experiences—including both their frequency and their qualities (friendly, discriminatory)—predict indicators of welcoming among U.S.-born and immigrant groups. Analyzing a new survey of U.S.-born groups (whites and blacks) and immigrant groups (Mexicans and Indians) from the Atlanta and Philadelphia metropolitan areas (total N = 2,006), we examine welcoming as a key dimension of social integration. Al…
Theorising migration policy in multilevel states: The Multilevel Governance Perspective
At first glance, the concept of multilevel governance (MLG) seems to point to a quite obvious reality: all states are structured along multiple layers of government, and public policy, regardless o
Political (Mis)behavior: Attention and Lacunae in the Study of Latino Politics
The field of Latino politics has developed rapidly over the past decade, but some areas within the field have received more attention than others, with some topics remaining relatively overlooked. This article begins by reviewing three primary strands of the recent literature on Latino civic engagement, identity politics, and institutions. It then pivots off the 2016 election to highlight three additional lines of inquiry that are either understu…
Political Effects of Having Undocumented Parents
The current US undocumented population is large and settled. As a result, millions of US-born citizens are growing up with undocumented parents or siblings. In this paper, we use original survey data to study the politics of the US-citizen offspring of undocumented migrants. We test theories of parental political socialization, which imply that having undocumented parents may have chilling effects on political engagement. We also test theories of…
Whose Politics? Reflections on Clarence Stone’s Regime Politics
Stone’s retrospective article holds to the view of his earlier work that a city’s fundamental capacity to confront existential challenges is made possible only by the engagement of elite actors with the resources for sustained politics. In this article, we set out to illustrate ways in which actors marginal to regime politics—neighborhood organizations, nonprofits, labor movements, and immigrant groups—can offer examples of sustained politics tha…
Outsiders No More?: Models of Immigrant Political Incorporation
This book considers pathways by which immigrants may be incorporated into the political processes of western democracies. It builds on a rich tradition of studying immigrant incorporation, but each chapter innovates by moving beyond singular accounts of particular groups and locations toward a general causal model with the scope and breadth to apply across groups, places, and time. The book addresses three key analytic questions: what, if anythin…
The Illegality Trap: The Politics of Immigration & the Lens of Illegality
The focus on undocumented immigrants in contemporary U.S. immigration debates, often at the expense of other immigration issues, has led to an illegality trap. This situation has serious negative consequences for both U.S. immigration policy and immigrants, including an overwhelming emphasis on enforcement; legislative gridlock and the failure of comprehensive immigration reform; constitutional conflict resulting from tensions between national, s…
Looking Back to See Ahead: Unanticipated Changes in Immigration from 1986 to the Present and Their Implications for American Politics Today
This article explores how issues of immigration—and particularly undocumented immigration—have evolved since the enactment of the 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act and how they have changed US politics in significant and often unexpected ways. In particular, our review explores five themes: (a) the failure of comprehensive immigration reform over the past quarter century; (b) the shift in immigration policy making toward state and local gov…
Latinos in the New Millennium: An Almanac of Opinion, Behavior, and Policy Preferences
Latinos in the New Millennium is a comprehensive profile of Latinos in the United States: looking at their social characteristics, group relations, policy positions and political orientations. The authors draw on information from the 2006 Latino National Survey (LNS), the largest and most detailed source of data on Hispanics in America. This book provides essential knowledge about Latinos, contextualizing research data by structuring discussion a…
The Logic of Institutional Interdependency: The Case of Day Laborer Policy in Suburbia
This article challenges public choice and regime theory interpretations of constraints on local politics, developing instead the institutional logic behind coalitions of local institutional actors designing redistributive policies addressing immigrant newcomers in increasingly diverse suburban jurisdictions. Employing qualitative data from a data set consisting of over 100 in-depth interviews among state and local elected and appointed officials,…
Su Casa Es Nuestra Casa: Latino Politics Research and the Development of American Political Science
Since the 1970s, Latino politics research has evolved, alternately responding to real-world political events and demographic changes, embracing new and emerging trends in the broader discipline, and offering new insights of its own that contribute to the development of political science. In so doing, there have emerged both an intellectual foundation and a growing body of empirical results, each of which challenges long-held theories and findings…

Under Two Flags: Dual Nationality in Latin America and Its Consequences for Naturalization in the United States
This article surveys the practice of dual nationality in the Western Hemisphere, particularly as it impacts the naturalization rates of immigrants in the United States. The article begins by looking at the extent and spread of dual nationality provisions and the pathways for its implementation. Next, the article turns to a discussion of the multiple (and at times conflicting) interests – of immigrants, sending states and receiving states – in dua…

Latino Immigration and Citizenship
Immigration figures prominently in Latino politics in both historical and contemporary terms. It underlies the formation and development of a longstanding Latino presence in the United States. Indeed, the very heritage of the Latino people is rooted in the history of conquest and settlement in the Americas. In more recent times, immigration has fueled the growth of the Latino population in the United States; over 40% of U.S. Latinos are first

"Becoming "Hispanic: Secondary Panethnic Identification among Latin American-Origin Populations in the United States
Contemporary debates on Latino panethnicity assert that this identity is either cultural or instrumental in nature. The article looks at respondents'use ofprimary and secondary ethnic identifications to answer two questions: First, how substantial is panethnic identification among Hispanics? Second, what is the nature of Latino panethnicity? Using data from the Latino National Political Survey, the authors find that Hispanic ethnicity is neither …

Building on arguments made by Grasmuck and Pessar (1991), Hardy-Fanta (1993), and Hondagneu-Sotelo (1994), among others, this article makes the case for a gendered understanding of immigrant political socialization. Looking at recent Latin American immigrants to New York City, the article argues that immigrant Latino men are more likely to favor continuity in patterns of socialization and organization, and immigrant Latinas are more likely to fav…
