Abstract

Immigration and immigration enforcement are highly debated in the United States and internationally; however, few studies have examined public opinion on immigration law enforcement using a national sample. Using a panel-based national survey of U.S. citizens, this study explored whether the 2016 U.S. presidential candidate choice influenced public opinion concerning local police officers’ involvement in immigration enforcement. Findings from OLS models indicated that, compared to those who voted for Donald Trump in 2016, those who voted for Hillary Clinton were less likely to endorse using local police to aid in immigration law enforcement and to believe that the public is obligated to report undocumented immigrants to the police. Additionally, compared to those who voted for Donald Trump, those who voted for Hillary Clinton were more inclined to agree that using local police to enforce immigration laws would lower public support for the police. Policy implications are discussed.

公众对移民执法的意见、对警察的支持和向警方报告无证移民的义务

移民和移民执法在美国和国际上备受争议；然而，很少有研究使用全国样本来调查公众对移民执法的看法。本研究利用一项基于小组的美国公民全国调查，探讨了2016年美国总统候选人的选择是否影响了公众对当地警察参与移民执法的看法。OLS模型的调查结果表明，与2016年投票给唐纳德·特朗普的人相比，投票给希拉里·克林顿的人不太可能支持利用当地警察协助移民执法，也不太可能相信公众有义务向警方举报无证移民。此外，与投票给唐纳德·特朗普的人相比，投票给希拉里·克林顿的人更倾向于同意，使用当地警察执行移民法会降低公众对警察的支持。讨论了政策影响。
