For the first time in U.S. history, after decades of unprecedented growth in interior immigration enforcement disproportionately impacting Latinos, ten percent of the U.S. House of Representatives is Hispanic. Using congressional district-level data on all candidates participating in general elections to the U.S. House of Representatives between 2008 and 2018, we show that intensified immigration enforcement suppressed Hispanics’ representation in congressional elections. The effect—nonexistent for other minorities, such as non-Hispanic Black candidates, as well as in primary elections—is driven by local police-based measures and diminished electoral support. Furthermore, it appears more harmful during midterm elections and in localities without a sanctuary policy.

移民政策和西班牙裔在全国选举中的代表权

在美国历史上第一次,在国内移民执法力度空前增长数十年后,对拉美裔产生了不成比例的影响,美国众议院议员中有百分之十是拉美裔。利用 2008 年至 2018 年期间参加美国众议院大选的所有候选人的国会选区级数据,我们发现,加强移民执法压制了拉美裔在国会选举中的代表权。这种影响对于其他少数族裔(例如非西班牙裔黑人候选人)以及初选而言并不存在,是由当地警察采取的措施和选举支持的减少所驱动的。此外,在中期选举期间和没有庇护政策的地方,它的危害似乎更大。
