在民族和种族方面，美国正在迅速变得更加多样化。然而，试图将种族威胁假设扩展到今天的移民，却产生了不一致的结果。本文发展了政治化的地方假说，一个替代方案，重点是如何国家和地方条件相互作用，以防止移民的威胁。对邻近移民的敌对政治反应最有可能发生在社区突然涌入移民和突出的国家言论加强威胁时。来自多个来源的数据，包括1992年至2009年的12次地理编码调查，为这一方法提供了一致的支持。时间序列的横截面和面板数据允许分析，以利用外源性的变化，突出的国家问题，如9月11日的攻击，减少居住自我选择的问题和其他威胁的有效性。本文还测试了当地的反移民政策的新数据的假设。通过强调地方和国家条件的相互作用，政治化的地方假说可以解释个人态度和地方政治结果。
In ethnic and racial terms, America is growing rapidly more diverse. Yet attempts to extend racial threat hypotheses to today's immigrants have generated inconsistent results. This article develops the politicized places hypothesis, an alternative that focuses on how national and local conditions interact to construe immigrants as threatening. Hostile political reactions to neighboring immigrants are most likely when communities undergo sudden influxes of immigrants and when salient national rhetoric reinforces the threat. Data from several sources, including twelve geocoded surveys from 1992 to 2009, provide consistent support for this approach. Time-series cross-sectional and panel data allow the analysis to exploit exogenous shifts in salient national issues such as the September 11 attacks, reducing the problem of residential self-selection and other threats to validity. The article also tests the hypothesis using new data on local anti-immigrant policies. By highlighting the interaction of local and national conditions, the politicized places hypothesis can explain both individual attitudes and local political outcomes.
