Abstract
- This paper considers whether immigration is an issue that evolves, beginningin the 1990s. It is argued that whenever the immigrant population can be associ-ated with high costs, then policy entrepreneurs will start the evolution process bydwelling on the cost symbol. This idea is tested by comparing partisan polariza-tion for the entire United States, for the seven states that incurred a net deficit inspending on immigrants, and for California alone. As hypothesized, polarizationincreases the most in California, though not in a way that suggests issue evolution. ..PAT.-Unpublished Manuscript [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
