E‐Verify Mandates and Voting Behavior of Naturalized Citizens in the United States
研究美国E-Verify强制令（要求雇主核查新员工工作资格）对归化公民投票倾向的影响，发现该政策导致归化公民在最近一次11月选举中投票的可能性暂时上升。
ABSTRACT In recent decades, there has been a toughening of immigration enforcement in the United States. One of the major initiatives is E‐Verify mandates, which require some or all employers to check the work eligibility of new hires. This study examines the impact of E‐Verify mandates on the voting propensity of naturalized citizens. Using a difference‐in‐differences strategy that exploits the temporal and geographical variation in the implementation of the mandates across US states, the results of the analysis indicate a temporary rise in the likelihood of a naturalized citizen reporting that they voted in the most recent November election. This finding suggests that immigration enforcement policies directed at undocumented migrants may generate political responses from other migrant groups who are not directly targeted by them.
