POSC 367. U.S. Immigration Politics and Policy

3.00
An examination of how conceptions of national identity, nativism and assimilation influence public opinion toward immigrants and shape immigration policy in the United States. The perspectives of native-born residents, immigrants and policymakers are considered. The course discusses immigration as a social and political issue; reviews the historical evolution of U.S. immigration policy and public opinion trends; and explores how contemporary immigrants adapt to life in the United States.
