在分析市政移民条例背景下的对立社会运动时，作者检验了当考虑主动运动与被动运动时，资源动员、政治过程和社会运动对政策结果影响的紧张理论的解释力是否有所不同。移民社区组织和富有同情心的当地政治盟友的存在促进了支持移民的(主动)法令的通过。反移民(反应性)法令的通过受到结构性社会变化的影响，例如当地拉丁裔人口的迅速增加被视为威胁。研究还发现，支持移民的抗议活动可以在两个方面影响政策，既促进了抗议活动发生的地方支持移民的法令的通过，也抑制了邻近城市反移民法令的通过。
Analyzing oppositional social movements in the context of municipal immigration ordinances, the authors examine whether the explanatory power of resource mobilization, political process, and strain theories of social movements’ impact on policy outcomes differs when considering proactive as opposed to reactive movements. The adoption of pro-immigrant (proactive) ordinances was facilitated by the presence of immigrant community organizations and of sympathetic local political allies. The adoption of anti-immigrant (reactive) ordinances was influenced by structural social changes, such as rapid increases in the local Latino population, that were framed as threats. The study also finds that pro-immigrant protest events can influence policy in two ways, contributing both to the passage of pro-immigrant ordinances in the locality where protests occur and also inhibiting the passage of anti-immigrant ordinances in neighboring cities.
