Abstract

One of the fundamental goals of immigration policy is the “integration” of new immigrants, which reaches its fullest success with naturalization. Most integration efforts take place at the subnational level. I use case studies of Georgia and Quebec to identify indicators and patterns that can be applied to the comparative study of immigration policy in Canadian provinces, U.S. American states and meso-level governmental units around the world. I believe my analysis captures some of the broad range of variation in immigration policy between Canadian and U.S. jurisdictions and helps us to assess the comparative success in terms of naturalization.

北美地方移民政策:比较视角下的魁北克和乔治亚

移民政策的基本目标之一是新移民的“融合”，这在归化过程中达到了最大的成功。大多数一体化工作是在国家以下一级进行的。我使用乔治亚州和魁北克省的案例研究来确定可以应用于加拿大各省、美国各州和世界各地中层政府单位移民政策比较研究的指标和模式。我相信我的分析抓住了加拿大和美国司法管辖区之间移民政策的一些广泛差异，并有助于我们评估归化方面的相对成功。
