Asylum is not illegal migration – why the UK government shouldn’t conflate the two
The new proposals transform settlement into something that must be continually earned. The path has become longer, more conditional and far more easily disrupted.

Over the summer I published the first article of my dissertation!
In this paper, I study how state immigrant policies affect Latino immigrant linked fate.
Drawing on a large sample of Latino immigrants (LINES 2016), I use co-ethnic and immigrant linked fate as the DVs.

Kirill Zhirkov & Robert H. Brehm find that calling immigrants “illegal” or “undocumented” doesn’t affect perceptions in experiments. However, people’s preferences for these terms do reflect their broader attitudes toward immigration policy.

🚨Do pro-immigration reforms trigger backlash?🚨
In our new paper, we examine how Americans reacted to high-profile immigration reforms using an unexpected-event design and all possible daily surveys. In short: no backlash to DACA—but potential backlash to Trump’s Muslim Ban.

Let's talk about the history and present of Temporary Protected Status (TPS). It was introduced in the 90s as part of the Immigration Act of 1990 -- the last time Congress did a major reform of immigration.

🧵
Revoking Temporary Protected Status for Venezuelans means that *overnight* 350,000 people who were vetted & legally allowed to live in the US, are now without legal authorization to remain in the US & can be deported
IT IS A POLICY CHOICE WHETHER PEOPLE ARE UNAUTHORIZED
NO HUMAN IS ILLEGAL
