University of Oklahoma Graduate College UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA GRADUATE COLLEGE CONSERVATISM AND IMMIGRATION OPINION IN THE UNITED STATES A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE FACULTY in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY By JONATHAN MOORE Norman, Oklahoma 2018 CONSERVATISM AND IMMIGRATION OPINION IN THE UNITED STATES A DISSERTATION APPROVED FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF POLITICAL SCIENCE BY ___________________________ Dr. Glen Krutz, Chair ___________________________ Dr. Allyson Shortle ___________________________ Dr. Scott Lamothe ___________________________ Dr. Alisa Fryar ___________________________ Dr. Jill Edy © Copyright by JONATHAN MOORE 2018 All Rights Reserved. This dissertation is my academic life’s work, but that life has been invested in by too many people to thank properly. My committee was willing to serve and contributed numerous suggestions for the improvement of this dissertation. My parents-in-law have been a foundation of family in an unfamiliar land. My parents provided for all of my needs in a stable and loving home, encouraged me to work hard, and were there for me even when I did not do so. My children have been a constant source of joy and relationship throughout this process. Most importantly, my wife Jennifer has been my best friend and advisor throughout this process, and it is only due to her sacrifices and encouragement that this this document exists at all.

    Case 1:18-cv-05025 Document 1 Filed 06/06/18 Page 1 of 68 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK NEW YORK IMMIGRATION COALITION, CASA DE MARYLAND, AMERICAN-ARAB ANTI- DISCRIMINATION COMMITTEE, Civil Action No. ADC RESEARCH INSTITUTE, and MAKE THE ROAD NEW YORK, Plaintiffs, v. UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE; and WILBUR L. ROSS, JR., in his official capacity as Secretary of Commerce, and BUREAU OF THE CENSUS, an agency within the United States Department of Commerce; and RON S. JARMIN, in his capacity as performing the non-exclusive functions and duties of the Director of the U.S. Census Bureau, Defendants. COMPLAINT 1. On March 26, 2018, Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross ordered that the 2020 Decennial Census include a question about the citizenship of all U.S. residents for the first time since 1950. The Secretary provided no legitimate reason for this decision, let alone any justification for taking such action without any of the customary and essential preparatory testing for adding questions to the Decennial Census. There is no legitimate explanation. Rather, the addition of the citizenship question is a naked act of intentional discrimination directed at immigrant communities of color that is intended to punish their presence, avoid their recognition, stunt their growing political power, and deprive them and the communities in which they live of economic benefits. Case 1:18-cv-05025 Document 1 Filed 06/06/18 Page 2 of 68 2. As Secretary Ross recently testified, adding a citizenship question will lead to a “decline” in participation in the Decennial Census—which Ross estimated at 1 percent of the population (or more than 3 million people)—because there are “folks who may not feel comfortable answering” the citizenship question.

  • From Bigotry to Ban: the Ideological Origins and Devastating Harms of the Muslim and African Bans
    Garrity & Crnkovich Book Proof (Do Not Delete) 6/30/20 7:10 PM FROM BIGOTRY TO BAN: THE IDEOLOGICAL ORIGINS AND DEVASTATING HARMS OF THE MUSLIM AND AFRICAN BANS KRISTIN GARRITY AND EMILY CRNKOVICH ABSTRACT In this paper we examine some of the recent history of the anti- immigration and anti-Muslim movements—looking to the Muslim and African Ban in particular—and how their rhetoric and ideology have directly influenced the policies of the Trump administration. We also discuss the irony of these policies in light of the Trump administration’s push for international religious freedom. Finally, we examine publicly available stories about the Muslim and African Ban and those directly impacted who are experiencing family separation and financial hardship. In addition to demonstrating the devastating harms and consequences of the Muslim and African Ban, we also show that this policy is not a product of the Trump administration alone. It is the culmination of decades of research and activism by white nationalist, anti-immigration, and anti-Muslim think tanks, organizations, and activists. In light of the fact that in November 2019 the administration slashed the number of refugees admitted for resettlement in the U.S. and further expanded the Muslim and African Ban in February 2020, we feel that any conversations about this policy that does not take into account its history and context is woefully incomplete. I. INTRODUCTION The first version of the Muslim and African Ban, known previously as the Muslim Ban, was enacted on January 27, 2017,1 banning individuals from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen.2 Between then and the June 2018 Supreme Court decision that upheld the policy,3 the Ban 1 See generally Protecting the Nation From Foreign Terrorist Entry into the United States, Exec.

  • Mainstreaming Hate: the Anti-Immigrant Movement in the U.S
    NOV A report from the Center on Extremism 2018 Mainstreaming Hate: The Anti-Immigrant Movement in the U.S. Our Mission: To stop the defamation of the Jewish people and to secure justice and fair treatment to all. ABOUT THE CENTER ON EXTREMISM The ADL Center on Extremism (COE) is one of the world’s foremost authorities on extremism, terrorism, anti-Semitism and all forms of hate. For decades, COE’s staff of seasoned investigators, analysts and researchers have tracked extremist activity and hate in the U.S. and abroad — online and on the ground. The staff, which represent a combined total of substantially more than 100 years of experience in this arena, routinely assist law enforcement with extremist-related investigations, provide tech companies with critical data and expertise and respond to wide-ranging media requests. As ADL’s research and investigative arm, COE is a clearinghouse of real-time information about extremism and hate of all types. COE staff regularly serve as expert witnesses, provide congressional testimony and speak to national and international conference audiences about the threats posed by extremism and anti-Semitism. You can find the full complement of COE’s research and publications at ADL.org. ADL is a leading anti-hate organization that was founded in 1913 in response to an escalating climate of anti-Semitism and bigotry. Today, ADL is still the first call when acts of anti-Semitism occur and continues to fight all forms of hate. A global leader in exposing extremism, delivering anti-bias education and fighting hate online, ADL’s ultimate goal is a world in which no group or individual suffers from bias, discrimination or hate.
