Founded and built by immigrants, the US has a complicated relationship with newcomers. How have politics shaped US immigration policy and the policymaking process? Do members of Congress follow their constituents' preferences? How are immigration messages used by campaigns; with what effects? Why do changing demographics affect immigration policy views? Do immigrants integrate or conform to nativist fears? In thinking about immigrants, why do most Americans think about Latino immigrants and how does this affect US Latinos? We will tackle these and other questions by examining published research and applying it to recent campaigns and debates.
