Trump, Brexit and the politics of immigration controls
The politics of immigration controls are at centre-stage in contemporary
national and global politics. Subscribers may find the edited collection of Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies on 'The Public and the
Politics of Immigration Controls' well worth a read.
The whole issue challenges (in various different ways) two key assumptions
that dominate the literature: 1) that the public are in favour of
immigration controls, and; 2) that governments are responding to public
pressure when they introduce immigration controls (highlighted and
explained in the introductory acticle).
The Special Issue includes articles on immigration controls and bi-partisan voting in Congress (by Katherine Fennelly, Kathryn Pearson and Silvana
Hackett), sucessful campaigning against deporations of undocumented
immigrants in the USA (Caitlin Patler & Roberto G. Gonzales), the
gap between public preferences and actual policies in various European
countries (Laura Morales, Jean-Benoit Pilet & Didier Ruedin).
