The political debate over comprehensive immigration reform in the
United States reached a pinnacle in 2006. When Congress failed to
implement federal immigration reform, this spurred numerous local
and state governments to confront immigration policy in their own
jurisdictions. In fear of becoming sanctuaries for immigrants,
numerous local communities confronted and implemented their own
policies to limit immigration. Thomas J. Vicino unravels the
political debate behind local ordinances such as the controversial
Illegal Immigration Relief Act and similar laws. He examines the
evolution of the struggle for local control in three cities and
suburbs beginning in Carpentersville, Illinois, then in Farmer s
Branch, Texas, and ending in Hazleton, Pennsylvania. Drawing on
numerous interviews, census data analysis, and field visits, Thomas
J. Vicino carefully explains how and why the definition of local
neighborhood problems determined the policy outcomes. These
provocative findings offer new perspectives on the local and state
immigration debate as well as new reflections on future directions
in policy and planning for local communities."
