Opinion and Immigration
Thu, September 10, 10:00 to 11:30am MDT (10:00 to 11:30am MDT), TBASession Submission Type: Created Panel
Session Description
How do native-born citizens view foreign-born migrants? How do politicians? What affects public opinion regarding immigration policy? Opinion about immigration can be highly dynamic, and thus measuring the factors which impact it is a challenge for political scientists. The papers in this panel compare attitudes on immigration at both the mass and elite levels across Asia and the U.S., considering such variables as policy reforms, personality traits, and perceptions of legitimacy.
