This comprehensive analysis of presidential immigration rhetoric
quantifies the frequency, tone, and efficacy of public mentions of
immigrants and immigration policy by the presidents from Washington
through Biden. The book also explores the intersection of the
presidential role with that of the other key actors in the
immigration policy system—notably the press, the public, and
Congress. For students of immigration studies, presidential
studies, and political communication, this book also poses the
question of which is of the greatest significance to the
immigration policy agenda: presidential leadership making
immigration a top priority or existing legislative support for
comprehensive immigration reform.

Modern presidents engage in public leadership through national
television addresses, routine speechmaking, and by speaking to
local audiences. With these strategies, presidents tend to
influence the media's agenda. In fact, presidential leadership of
the news media provides an important avenue for indirect
presidential leadership of the public, the president's ultimate
target audience. Although frequently left out of sophisticated
treatments of the public presidency, the media are directly
incorporated into this book's theoretical approach and analysis.
The authors find that when the public expresses real concern about
an issue, such as high unemployment, the president tends to be
responsive. But when the president gives attention to an issue in
which the public does not have a preexisting interest, he can
expect, through the news media, to directly influence public
opinion. Eshbaugh-Soha and Peake offer key insights on when
presidents are likely to have their greatest leadership successes
and demonstrate that presidents can indeed "break through the
noise" of news coverage to lead the public agenda.

When presidents take positions on pending Supreme Court cases or
criticize the Court's decisions, they are susceptible to being
attacked for acting as bullies and violating the norm of judicial
independence. Why then do presidents target Supreme Court decisions
in their public appeals? In this book, Paul M. Collins, Jr and
Matthew Eshbaugh-Soha argue that presidents discuss the Court's
decisions to demonstrate their responsiveness to important matters
of public policy and to steer the implementation of the Court's
decisions. Using data from Washington to Trump, they show that, far
from being bullies, presidents discuss cases to promote their
re-election, policy goals, and historical legacies, while
attempting to affect the impact of Court decisions on the
bureaucracy, Congress, the media, and the public.
