To deal with the growing migrant crisis in North Africa, several states have considered granting amnesty to foreign displaced persons (both economic migrants and potential refugees) who have entered their territories clandestinely. Morocco has taken the lead in this policy approach, launching two successful amnesty campaigns in 2014 and 2017 that regularized the status of approximately 40,000 displaced persons in total. While policymakers in many North African states increasingly see this policy as a viable solution, it is less understood how ordinary citizens view such regularization policies. Hence, this article inquires: under what conditions do ordinary native citizens support regularizing clandestine migrants and refugees? Further, what factors correlate with either higher or lower levels of public support for (or opposition to) regularization campaigns? Drawing on an original representative public opinion poll from Morocco's Casablanca-Settat region completed in 2017, this article finds that more than 59 percent of native citizens of Morocco support these regularization campaigns. Particularly, Moroccans who were wealthier, female, and ethnic minorities (black Moroccans) endorsed regularization more strongly. By contrast, Moroccans opposed regularization when they had concerns about whether displaced persons hurt the economy, undermine cultural traditions, and reduce stability.

谁支持大赦？来自摩洛哥卡萨布兰卡地区的一项原始调查，旨在评估公民对规范秘密移民的支持

为了应对北非日益严重的移民危机，一些国家考虑对秘密进入其领土的外国流离失所者（包括经济移民和潜在难民）给予特赦。摩洛哥在这一政策方法上处于领先地位，在 2014 年和 2017 年成功发起了两次大赦运动，使总共约 40,000 名流离失所者的身份正常化。虽然许多北非国家的政策制定者越来越多地将这项政策视为一种可行的解决方案，但人们对普通公民如何看待此类正规化政策却知之甚少。因此，本文追问：在什么情况下，普通本土公民支持将偷渡者和难民正规化？进一步，哪些因素与公众对（或反对）正规化运动的支持程度较高或较低有关？根据摩洛哥卡萨布兰卡-塞塔地区 2017 年完成的原始代表性民意调查，本文发现超过 59% 的摩洛哥原住民支持这些正规化运动。特别是，更富有的摩洛哥人、女性和少数民族（摩洛哥黑人）更强烈地支持正规化。相比之下，摩洛哥人在担心流离失所者是否会损害经济、破坏文化传统和降低稳定性时反对正规化。本文发现超过 59% 的摩洛哥原住民支持这些正规化运动。特别是，更富有的摩洛哥人、女性和少数民族（摩洛哥黑人）更强烈地支持正规化。相比之下，摩洛哥人在担心流离失所者是否会损害经济、破坏文化传统和降低稳定性时反对正规化。本文发现超过 59% 的摩洛哥原住民支持这些正规化运动。特别是，更富有的摩洛哥人、女性和少数民族（摩洛哥黑人）更强烈地支持正规化。相比之下，当摩洛哥人担心流离失所者是否会损害经济、破坏文化传统和降低稳定性时，他们反对正规化。
