What do Americans want from immigration policy and why? In the rise
of a polarized and acrimonious immigration debate, leading accounts
see racial anxieties and disputes over the meaning of American
nationhood coming to a head. The resurgence of parochial identities
has breathed new life into old worries about the vulnerability of
the American Creed. This book tells a different story, one in which
creedal values remain hard at work in shaping ordinary Americans'
judgements about immigration. Levy and Wright show that perceptions
of civic fairness - based on multiple, often competing values
deeply rooted in the country's political culture - are the dominant
guideposts by which most Americans navigate immigration
controversies most of the time and explain why so many Americans
simultaneously hold a mix of pro-immigrant and anti-immigrant
positions. The authors test the relevance and force of the theory
over time and across issue domains.
