PSCI 20400 - Immigration Politics & Policy

Course Credit: 1
IMMGIRATION POLITICS & POLICY: This course examines both the historical development of U.S. immigration law (immigration as policy) and how the rhetoric surrounding the issue influences public opinion (immigration as politics). The course introduces students to the leading theoretical arguments that explain global migration flows and immigration policy-making dynamics. Students will critically engage with the ways that immigration policies sustain and reproduce inequalities on the basis of race, ethnicity, gender, and class differences. Readings cover core concepts that animate contemporary issues in (im)migration including nativism, xenophobia, immigrant integration, immigrant labor, transnationalism, border militarization, undocumented status, enforecement, and deportation.
