    Introduction and summary

    A handul o local communiies across our naion enaced unconsiuional, dis-

    criminaory, and cosly immigraion conrols in recen years in an eor o chase

    away undocumened immigrans and heir amilies and riends, many o whom

    are American ciizens. Tis growing backlash agains Hispanic immigrans in par-

    icular was driven by ear, economic uncerainy, and culural dierences in hese

    localiies: small owns in New Jersey, Nebraska, Pennsylvania and exas, and one

    couny in Virginia.

    Agains he backdrop o a slowly recovering economy, high unemploymen, alling

    sae and local ax revenues due o he Grea Recession, and a hos o problems

    ranging rom crime o overcrowded schools, Hispanic immigrans proved o be

    handy scapegoas or he whie majoriy o ciizens in hese communiies. Never

    mind ha hese immigranslegal and undocumenedare neiher he roo

    cause o any o hese problems nor a major acor in any o hem.

    Arizona, o course, drew he mos atenion or is law, S.B. 1070, which requires

    police o quesion he legal saus o suspecs when here is reasonable suspicion

    hey are undocumened immigrans.1 Te law also ses atriion hrough enorce-

    men as Arizonas ocial immigraion policy, which in plain English means i he

    laws are harsh enough, immigrans will ee in ear. Te saes immigraion conrol

    measure has no been enorced, however, because a ederal judge pu a hold on he

    new law pending he oucome o a lawsui in which he U.S. Deparmen o Jusice

    challenged Arizonas atemps o usurp ederal jurisdicion o immigraion maters.2

    Because o he nooriously bad preceden se by S.B. 1070, a boycot o he saes

    ourism and convenion indusry delivered a signican hi as oulined in a repor

    by he Cener or American Progress. Led by naional organizaions, enerain-men celebriies, and opinion leaders, he economic boycot immediaely led

    Oher saes have aken noice o he cosly resuls o Arizonas unconsiuional

    immigran enorcemen measures. Naivis legislaors in exas and Florida are con-

    sidering Arizona-syle ani-immigran measures during heir 2011 legislaive ses-

    sions, bu exas Gov. Rick Perry, a Republican, has vowed o veo such a bill, while

    he poliically inuenial Cuban-American communiy in Florida sands opposed

    o harsh immigraion measures even hough Cuban immigrans are governed byspecial ederal immigraion law ha give hem reuge i hey reach U.S. soil.

    Ye earlier ani-immigran campaigns in he small owns and one couny in our

    counry ha happened prior o Arizonas acioncampaigns ha began in 2006

    and are he subjec o his paperhighligh why such legal acion is so cosly pre-

    cisely because o he unconsiuionaliy o he ani-immigran ordinances. Tese

    small owns hisorically populaed by non-Hispanic whies experienced dramaic

    demographic changes as more Hispanics and immigrans moved ino heir com-

    muniies. In hese communiies, ani-immigran and someimes racis senimens

    were ueled by righ-wing poliicians, exremis organizaions, and conservaivecommenaors who atacked all immigrans.

    Te resul oday is a series o cosly legal batles ha burn hrough ciy reasur-

    ies afer local poliicians enaced immigraion enorcemen ordinances ha hey

    now know are oo cosly o implemen and deend in cour. One own, Riverside,

    New Jersey, quickly spen $82,000 and los commercial ax revenues when

    businesses closed afer enacing a legally indeensible immigraion law, only o

    reverse course wih hopes ha immigrans would reurn o heir own and uel

    he local economy once again.

    Oher locales have pushed ahead, purposeully draining ciy coers o make a

    poliical saemen agains immigrans. Farmers Branch, exas, a small Dallas sub-

    urb, is acing $5 million in legal ees o proec is immigraion conrol ordinance

    similar o one enaced in Hazleon, Pennsylvania., which already is winding is way

    hrough he cours, a a o-dae cos o $2.8 million, wih some esimaes as high as

    The rise of fear in small town America

    Tere are several common hreads in he abric o each o he owns sudied in his

    repor. Tey are small, ranquil, and predominanly whie communiies ha became

    unsetled by rapid demographic changes despie heir immigran pass. In hese

    owns, i ook only a litle agiaion o unravel he communiies, leaving hem rayed

    and discomposed.

    One o he rs o reac srongly o his culural enanglemen was Hazleon,

    Pennsylvania, a own o 22,000 residens in Pennsylvanias Pocono Mounains,which has a legacy o a coal mining indusry buil on he backs o immigrans more

    han a cenury ago. By 2008, all Hispanics, regardless o saus, made up only 4 per-

    cen o Luzerne Counys populaion.16

    A more recen enry ino he immigraion conrol movemen, Fremon, Nebraska,

    has a populaion o abou 26,000 ha is 93 percen whie, mosly o German ances-

    ry, and wih only abou 4 percen o oreign-born residens.17 Bu a rise in he num-

    ber o Hispanic residens in Fremon beginning around 2008, drawn o he own

    by jobs in he local meapacking indusry, creaed a percepion ha undocumened

    immigraion was running rampan even hough he legal saus o he newcomers

    was unknown.

    Te same was rue in Prince William Couny, a norhern Virginia suburb o

    Washingon, D.C., where he Laino populaion grew by more han 150 percen rom

    2000 and 2006 as he couny was one o he ases growing in he naion.18 Te new

    immigrans hailed rom El Salvador, Guaemala, Honduras, and Mexico.19 Te regions

    growh in jobs, combined wih aordable housing, made i an atracive area o setle.

    A consrucion boom led o an inux o immigrans in Riverside, New Jersey, a work-ing class own locaed across he Delaware River rom Philadelphia. Riverside already

    had an esablished Poruguese-speaking communiy, bu local leaders speculaed ha

    as many as 5,000 immigrans, mosly rom Brazil, arrived beween 2000 and 2005.20

    Riversides populaion in he 2000 U.S. Census was 7,911, and he ederal govern-

    mens less reliable coun a mid-decade did no show a signican increase.21

    Te dramaic ransormaions in all o hese areas promped backlashes rom con-

    servaives and longime residens, who loudly proesed ha he newcomers were

    hreaening heir way o lie and wrongly assumed ha mos o he new arrivals were

    undocumened. Te proesors voices drowned ou hose seeking consrucive

    conversaions over how o manage he changing demographics and respond o some

    legiimae concerns. Bu rom one own o he nex, he lis o grievances was hesame: Immigrans were ruining heir communiies by overcrowding schools, hous-

    ing, hospials, and rac lanes and requiring English learning classes.

    Tere also were he hyperbolic claims ha played o peoples ears: ha immigrans

    are noisy, disrupive, ax cheaers, and criminals. Tere were social problems oo,

    said he poliically ambiious mayor in Hazleon, Lou Barleta, as he and an ally com-

    plained ha immigrans had even ried o sar heir own Hispanic Litle League and

    a Laino Chamber o Commerce.22

    Spurred by immigraion resricioniss such as Kris Kobach and like-minded allieswho opposed ederal immigraion reorms in avor o local conrols, own councils

    began enacing immigraion enorcemen ordinances.

    iy o heir ciizens saw as ou-o-conrol illegal immigraion. A closer look a heir

    Ordinance, he Renal Regisraion Ordinance, and oher laws which challenged

    he ederal governmens auhoriy o esablish supreme law on immigraion maters

    over sae and local jurisdicions. Te own approved a $100-per-day ne on any

    landlord who rened housing o an illegal immigran.

    In addiion, business owners could be ned and have heir commercial licenses

    an ordinance also called Illegal Immigraion Relie Ac, which also placed he

    onus o enorcemen on landlords and employers.23 Riverside imposed nes o

    $1,000 o $2,000, and a possible jail senence or revocaion o business licenses or

    The Center for American Progress is a nonpartisan research and educational institute

    dedicated to promoting a strong, just and free America that ensures opportunity

    for all. We believe that Americans are bound together by a common commitment to

    these values and we aspire to ensure that our national policies reflect these values.

    We work to find progressive and pragmatic solutions to significant domestic and

    international problems and develop policy proposals that foster a government that

    is of the people, by the people, and for the people.
