| dc.description.abstract | My capstone examines the topic of Latino immigration through an economic analysis of immigration reform in the United States. As my main case study, I evaluate Proposition 187 from 1994 in California. I then look at three more recent instances of immigration policy: Bush's proposed Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2007, the Dream Act, and H.B. 56 from Alabama in 2012. In investigating these policies, I focus my analysis on their economic effects or projected economic effects. I seek to evaluate the economic arguments made by both supporters and opponents of the legislation. | en_US |
