2174 - Immigration, Federalism, and Integration in U.S. States and Localities

Sun, August 12, 8:30 to 10:10am, Philadelphia Marriott Downtown, Floor: Level 4, Franklin Hall 10

Session Submission Type: Paper Session 100min

Description

Though the entry of immigrants into the United States is ruled by federal law, states and localities are now heavily involved in enacting legislation that shapes immigrants’ lives. This session focuses on the role of subnational governments in immigration law and immigrants’ integration in the U.S. Papers are invited that analyze why and how subnational jurisdictions legislate on immigrants and immigration, and the impact of that legislation on the ground for immigrants, organizations, law enforcement, employers, social services, politics, and the economy. We are also interested in papers that consider intersectional issues, such as race and gender, in shaping subnational governance and outcomes.
