项目摘要

This research tired to analyze the logic and social impacts of the drastic transformation of the U. S. immigration policies after the September 11 terrorists' attacks. On the one hand, this project is an attempt to elucidate internal dynamics of the new bureaucratic system to enforce immigration law created by Homeland Security Act. By doing so it will provide a new perspective to go beyond the common understanding of the influence of clientele politics in the U. S. with regards to migration policy. On the other hand, based upon multiple field research on the diverse areas in the U. S., such as New York and its suburbia, mid-West such as Iowa or Nebraska, and the contested region over the border issue in the south, it made possible for us to analyze the importance of local social power structure and the delicate local social fabrics in respective region. This experience leads us to establish the comparative perspective on social impacts of immigration policies throughout the U. S. While the new more centralized structure of the immigration control took place, in reality it would depend significantly upon what type of local interest group network actually exists or what type of immigrant population lives with what immigration status. Local structure is persistently key intervening variables and it sometimes resists state aggressive enforcement policy while some residents demands intensive immigration in other region.This research could provide a unique analytical approach to more multidimensional and interactive process of immigration policy building as well as execution of immigration law by taking into consideration not only intra-organizational dynamics but also local political-social structure simultaneously.

这项研究疲倦地分析了9月11日恐怖分子袭击后，美国移民政策剧烈转变的逻辑和社会影响。一方面，该项目是试图阐明新官僚制度的内部动态，以执行由国土安全法创建的移民法。通过这样做，它将提供一种新的观点，可以超越对美国对移民政策的美国政治影响的共同理解。另一方面，基于对美国各种地区的多次现场研究，例如纽约及其郊区，例如爱荷华州或内布拉斯加州的中西部，以及南方边境问题上有争议的地区，我们可以分析当地社会力量结构的重要性以及各自的当地社会面料。这种经验使我们建立了对整个美国移民政策的社会影响的比较观点，而移民控制的新的更集中的结构发生了，实际上，这将显着取决于实际存在哪种类型的本地利益集团网络或哪种类型的移民人群生活在哪种移民状态下。地方结构是持续的关键中间变量，有时它可以抵制国家的积极执法政策，而一些居民则需要在其他地区进行密集的移民。这项研究可以为更多维和互动的移民政策制定过程以及移民法的执行不仅要考虑到内部政治动态学，还可以为更多的移民政策制定过程提供独特的分析方法。
