· ¿Compañero o extranjero? Nativism and Immigration Policy Attitudes Among Latino-Americans
I examine the determinants of nativism and immigration policy attitudes among U.S. Latino citizens. A multi-stage model is estimated which includes several variables unique to Latino-Americans (country of origin, panethnicity, and acculturalization).
Benjamin R. Knoll, University of Iowa
· Whose Fate is Linked? Examining the Determinants of Linked Fate Among Latinos of Different National Origin
Using the 2006 Latino National Survey, we examine differences in perceptions of linked fate among different Latino national origin groups. Further, we consider the role of panethnicity in developing such perceptions within the Latino community.

· Debating Immigration: Public Policy Discourse and Latino Political Identity
This paper takes advantage of a “natural experiment” in the LNS (2006) to examine the effects of exogenous events on self-identification. I demonstrate that the 2006 immigration marches impacted respondents’ identification during this time period.

· Does Context Matter? Understanding Latino and Black Perceptions of Commonality, Competition, and Link-Fate
This paper seeks to broaden our understanding of how contexts either enhances or undermines Latinos attitudes that are relevant for predicting political cooperation with Blacks.
