Goldsmith, Andrew
Migration World Magazine, v24 n3 p14-17 1996
Addresses the recent anti-immigrant sentiment in the United States and examines the forces causing it. The article examines legal language and opinion in court cases showing shifting anti-immigrant sentiment, including the language used in California's Proposition 187, and argues that this legal language in which court decisions and legislation are framed helps shape public opinion.
