the abstract

"According to an article in the New Hampshire Business Review, Republicans in New Hampshire are making illegal immigration a top issue, with Governor Chris Sununu allocating $2.3 million to address the issue. However, the article highlights that many of the claims made by Republicans are based on misinformation and anecdotal evidence, rather than data and facts. The article also provides some data on undocumented immigrants in New Hampshire, stating that there are between 10,000 and 15,000 undocumented immigrants in the state, representing about 1.7% of the workforce. It also notes that there is no data on how often undocumented immigrants are charged criminally and convicted, but national data suggests that the percentage is low. The article also addresses the issue of drug smuggling, stating that it is mostly Americans, not undocumented migrants, who are smuggling fentanyl into the country. The article concludes by suggesting that the deployment of National Guard soldiers to the Texas border and Republican claims about undocumented migrants may be seen as political stunts by Democrats. Additionally, it mentions a bill being backed by Republicans that would prohibit New Hampshire communities from adopting "sanctuary city" policies, but notes that the bill has faced opposition from the ACLU, church leaders, and police chiefs.

• Article name : Illegal," "Undocumented," or "Unauthorized": Equivalency Frames, Issue Frames, and Public Opinion on Immigration

talks about the controversy related to this topics

the abstract

"Immigration has been a salient and contentious topic in the United States, with a great deal of congressional debate, advocacy efforts, and media coverage. Among conservative and liberal groups, there is a vigorous debate over the terms used to describe this population, such as "undocumented" or "illegal," as both sides perceive significant consequences to public opinion that flow out of this choice in equivalency frames. These same groups also compete over the ways in which immigration policies are framed. Here, for the first time, we examine the use of both types of frames (of immigrants themselves, and the policies affecting them) in media coverage. Importantly, we also test for whether these various frames affect preferences on three different policies of legalization. Our results suggest that efforts to focus on the terms used to describe immigrants have limited effect, and that efforts to frame policy offer greater promise in swaying public opinion on immigration.

• Article name : Do Immigrants Threaten US Public Safety?

Abstract

"Opponents of immigration often claim that immigrants, particularly those who are unauthorized, are more likely than US natives to commit crimes and that they pose a threat to public safety. There is little evidence to support these claims. In fact, research overwhelmingly indicates that immigrants are less likely than similar US natives to commit violent and property crimes, and that areas with more immigrants have similar or lower rates of violent and property crimes than areas with fewer immigrants. There are relatively few studies specifically of criminal behavior among unauthorized immigrants, but the limited research suggests that these immigrants also have a lower propensity to commit crime than their native-born peers, although possibly a higher propensity than legal immigrants. Evidence about legalization programs is consistent with these findings, indicating that a legalization program reduces crime rates. Meanwhile, increased border enforcement, which reduces unauthorized immigrant inflows, has mixed effects on crime rates. A legalization program or other similar initiatives not currently under serious consideration have more potential to improve public safety and security than several other policies that have recently been proposed or implemented." (Orrenius and Zavodny).

"One study found that only 3 percent of the 2.6 million immigrants ICE dealt with via CAP during 2010 to 2013 had been convicted of a violent or serious crime (Cantor, Noferi, and Martı´nez 2015)." (Orrenius and Zavodny).

Article : "Sanctuary Polices, Immigration, and Public Safety

Overall, the findings from our two studies strongly suggest, first, that the implementation of sanctuary policies does not lead to higher rates of violent crime. In fact, we find that such ordinances are associated with a decrease in robbery incidents at the city-level. Second, the passage of sanctuary policies may actually promote public safety by encouraging Latino crime victims (or crime victims most socially-connected to immigrant communities) to report violent victimization to law enforcement."(Martinez and Martinez-Schuldt)
