When Congress failed to implement federal immigration reform, this spurred numerous local and state governments to confront immigration policy in their own jurisdictions. In fear of becoming sanctuaries for immigrants, numerous local communities confronted and implemented their own policies to limit immigration. Thomas J. Vicino unravels the political debate behind local ordinances such as the controversial Illegal Immigration Relief Act and similar laws. He examines the evolution of the struggle for local control in three cities and suburbs--beginning in Carpentersville, Illinois, then in Farmer's Branch, Texas, and ending in Hazleton, Pennsylvania. Drawing on numerous interviews, census data analysis, and field visits, Thomas J. Vicino carefully explains how and why the definition of local neighborhood problems determined the policy outcomes. These provocative findings offer new perspectives on the local and state immigration debate as well as new reflections on future directions in policy and planning for local communities."--Publisher's website. 651 0 $a United States $x Government policy. $x Government policy. 650 0 $a Local government $z United States. 650 7 $a Emigration and immigration $x Government policy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00908700 650 7 $a Local government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01001300 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 941 $a 1 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20160618010309.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F2D4B7C2351911E68B73C6A5DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b JIDInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
