| dcterms.abstract | In recent decades, communities across the United States have seen increases in hostility toward immigrants. Prevailing theories in political science hold that responses to immigration are, in part, a function of local area demographics. However, assessments of these theories suffer from the critique that local area demographics and immigration preferences may be endogenous due to residential self-selection. Recent efforts sidestep this problem by using clever modeling strategies or experiments. Rather than viewing self-selection as a nuisance, however, this article develops and tests a theory that treats migration and political behavior as strategies residents invoke in the presence of local immigration. In observational and experimental studies, residents who live in communities experiencing rapid changes in immigrant composition are more likely to participate and express anti-immigration attitudes and less likely to desire exit as the number of immigrants in surrounding communities increases. The macro-level implications of the theory are explored using agent-based modeling. | |
