Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: In this paper, we examine the conditions under which states restored legal immigrants� rights to welfare, combining quantitative and qualitative evidence. We build on race-centered theories of welfare state development, but go beyond a black-white analysis. We argue that states� generosity towards legal immigrants depends on the relative political power of Latino and Asian immigrants. Consistent with our argument, our regression analysis indicates that states were more likely to restore legal immigrants� rights to welfare when foreign-born people, most of who were Asian or Latino, made up a larger share of the population. We also found that states were more likely to restore legal immigrants� welfare rights when they were already spending a larger portion of their state budget on welfare and per capita income was higher. Our paper also provides detailed case studies of the campaigns to restore legal immigrants� welfare rights in three states, all of which involved considerable coalition work among ethnic, welfare, and immigrant organizations.
