It’s remarkable how little research is available comparing the success of different countries’ immigration policies. This is partly because it is such a delicate topic, and partly because there are so many different criteria to judge what makes a successful policy. If the criterion is... Читать далее
Do anti-immigration attitudes correlate with knowledge of or exposure to certain "facts" about immigration, or do they stem from a set value system people hold?
То ли метафизически свободная сущность, то ли максимизатор полезности. · 10 июля 2017
The offered options are neither mutually exclusive, nor collectively exhaustive. Even more importantly, there is no reason whatsoever that attitudes would spring from a single source, and they don't. Someone had a relative robbed by an immigrant, someone else is a member of a right-wing... Читать далее

I’d begin answering this question with a very broad statement. Obama came into office in 2008 as a person promising to work in a bipartisan fashion, with both Democrats and Republicans. And in his first administration he certainly offered some policies which he thought would create... Читать далее
