В статье рассмотрена миграционная политика 45-го президента США Дональда Трампа в рамках борьбы с террористической угрозой. Прослеживается стратегия двойного отрицания избранного президента. Анализируются результаты проведенных реформ Дональдом Трампом в отношении миграционного законодательства США. Особое внимание в статье автор уделяет социальным протестам, вызванных ужесточением миграционных правил для мигрантов. В заключении автор подчеркивает, что Трамп стал первым американским президентом, который предпринял столь решительные шаги для защиты интересов нации. Впервые легальная иммиграция стала рассматриваться в качестве угрозы национальной безопасности, которой администрация Трампа противостоит путем введения более строгого иммиграционного законодательства.

US immigration policy has serious limitations, particularly when viewed from an economic perspective. Some shortcomings arise from faulty initial design, others from the inability of the system to adapt to changing circumstances. In either case, a reluctance to confront politically difficult decisions is often a contributing factor to the failure to craft laws that can stand the test of time. We argue that, as a result, some key aspects of US immigration policy are incoherent and mutually contradictory —new policies are often inconsistent with past policies and undermine their goals. Inconsistency makes policies less effective because participants in the immigration system realize that lawmakers face powerful incentives to revise policies at a later date. US policies regarding unauthorized immigration, temporary visas, and humanitarian migrants offer examples of incoherence and inconsistency. This article explores key features of an integrated, coherent immigration policy from an economic perspective and how policymakers could better attempt to achieve policy consistency across laws and over time.

Abstract With US immigration policy seeming ever more brutal with each new headline, it becomes increasingly tempting to advocate for the rights of migrants and asylum seekers by presenting the current situation as extraordinary and questioning the legitimacy of the Trump administration’s border enforcement tactics. Jay Timothy Dolmage, Katherine Benton-Cohen, and Beth Lew-Williams, however, show that the contemporary moment is far from exceptional; rather, immigration restriction in North America has long mobilized exclusionary nativist logics and shifting constructions of legality. Timely without being ripped from the headlines, their latest books offer much-needed historical context for a current humanitarian crisis along with important lessons from previous crises.
