本文探讨了几个相关的因素，在以前的研究中被忽视的投票参与移民纳入。我们将各种移民相关变量添加到控制个人资源，社会融合，制度障碍和政治动员背景的模型中。我们发现几乎没有支持移民适应的直线同化理论。我们还发现，来自一个专制政权对投票没有显著影响，生活在西班牙语选票的地区并没有增加第一代拉丁美洲人投票的可能性。我们的研究结果还表明，反移民立法对第一代和第二代移民的参与有积极的影响。总的来说，在我们的分析中引入的移民相关变量显着增加了现有的理论知识，在美国的投票参与。
This article examines several factors related to immigrant incorporation that have been ignored in previous studies of voting participation. We add various immigrant-related variables to a model that controls for individual resources, social incorporation, institutional barriers and contexts of political mobilization. We find little support for straight-line assimilationist theories of immigrant adaptation. We also find that coming from a repressive regime has no significant effect on voting and that living in areas with Spanish-language ballots does not increase the likelihood of voting among first generation Latinos. Our results also suggest that anti-immigrant legislation has a positive effect on participation among first and second generation immigrants. Overall, the immigrant-related variables introduced in our analysis add significantly to the existing theoretical knowledge on voting participation in the United States.
