The Recurring Native Response To Global Labor Migration, Patrick W. Thomas
The Recurring Native Response To Global Labor Migration, Patrick W. Thomas
Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies
For the past few decades, and increasingly in the past few years, U.S. state governments have supplemented federal immigration law with state laws overtly designed to combat the perceived ills stemming from undocumented immigration to the United States. Proponents of these laws justify them on the basis of a normative negativity associated with "illegal" immigration, and negative economic consequences for natives. They further disclaim any discriminatory motive behind the laws, claiming that the laws only target "illegal" immigration.
