Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: Prior research on the effects of political threat on immigrant participation has mainly focused on Latinos in California while overlooking the ways different states motivate immigrants across racial and ethnic groups to participate in the American electoral system. I hypothesize that both exclusionary and inclusive state environments toward immigrants mobilize them to register and vote. I test these propositions using a newly coded measure of state immigrant context composed of legislative bills related to immigrants or immigration introduced and enacted by 14 state legislatures between 1995 and 2004 merged with individual-level data on registration and voting from the Current Population Survey (CPS) Voter Supplements. The results indicate that exclusionary environments motivate naturalized immigrants to vote in US elections. However, the conditions under which state immigrant contexts mobilize racial and ethnic immigrant groups to register and vote are different. In closing, I discuss the implications both exclusionary and inclusive state environments have on the prospects for political incorporation among immigrants in the 21st Century.
