The United States is once again experiencing a major influx of
immigrants. Questions about who should be admitted and what
benefits should be afforded to new members of the polity are among
the most divisive and controversial contemporary political issues.
Using an impressive array of evidence from national surveys, The
Politics of Belonging illuminates patterns of public opinion on
immigration and explains why Americans hold the attitudes they do.
Rather than simply characterizing Americans as either nativist or
nonnativist, this book argues that controversies over immigration
policy are best understood as questions of political membership and
belonging to the nation. The relationships between citizenship,
race, and immigration drive the politics of belonging in the United
States and represent a dynamic central to understanding patterns of
contemporary public opinion on immigration policy. Beginning with a
historical analysis, the book documents why this is the case by
tracing the development of immigration law and the formation of the
American racial hierarchy. Then, through a comparative analysis of
public opinion among white, black, Latino, and Asian Americans, it
identifies and tests the critical moderating role of racial
categorization and group identity on variation in public opinion on
immigration.
