This article considers the effect of core American values in the structuring of public opinion toward US immigration policies in the mid-1990s. Using the 1996 American National Election Study, ordered logistic and logistic analyses are used to examine the impact that individualism, humanitarianism and egalitarianism have in shaping attitudes toward three policy areas, namely border enforcement, reductions in the number of immigrants admitted, and immigrant eligibility for government services. The research finds that the three core values out-performed the traditional predictors in the third policy area because of the policy's explicit connection to the welfare state. Core values play a minimal role in shaping attitudes toward border enforcement. However, the pro-social values—egalitarianism and humanitarianism—are found to play a key role in favouring increases in the number of immigrants admitted into the US. The conclusion considers the implications of the findings. |
