摘要

我们研究了移民合法化对美国州政府向地方政府财政转移支付的影响，利用了 1986 年《移民改革与控制法案》（IRCA）中法律地位的变化。州政府向 IRCA 县分配了更多的资源，这种分配与州长的选举动机有关。重要的是，这种效应在 IRCA 移民获得选举权之前就已出现，我们认为这是 IRCA 赋予混合法律地位社区中已经合法的西班牙裔移民政治权力的结果。IRCA提高了大型拉美裔社区的投票率以及拉美裔的政治参与度，但并未明显引发反移民情绪。

Immigrant legalization and the redistribution of state funds: Evidence from the 1986 IRCA

We study the impact of immigrant legalization on fiscal transfers from state to local governments in the United States, exploiting variation in legal status from the 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA). State governments allocate more resources to IRCA counties, an allocation that is responsive to the electoral incentives of the governor. Importantly, the effect emerges prior to the enfranchisement of the IRCA migrants and we argue it is driven by the IRCA’s capacity to politically empower already legal Hispanic migrants in mixed legal status communities. The IRCA increases turnout in large Hispanic communities as well as Hispanic political engagement, without detectably triggering anti-migrant sentiment.
