Preview From Immigrant to Naturalized Citizen: Political Incorporation in the United States (The New Americans: Recent Immigration and American Society)

Description:
Bueker finds that naturalizing and voting are distinct processes. Levels of education, income, and length of eligibility, predict both processes, but an immigrant’s country of origin frequently overrides these other characteristics and works differently in each. Immigrants from countries with the highest likelihood of naturalizing tend to have the lowest odds of voter turnout, while those immigrants from countries with the lowest odds of citizenship acquisition are the most likely to vote, once naturalized. Further, country of origin matters as much for how it interacts with other key characteristics, such as education and income, as for the independent influence it exerts on these two political processes.
