Since 2005, state legislatures have passed hundreds of immigration bills, and state officials have argued that their efforts attempt to solve immigration crises caused by federal inaction. The state–federal clash over immigration seems to confirm scholarship suggesting deepening lines of conflict in the federal system since the 1990s. The question remains, however, whether this explosion in sta...

The paper analyses the welfare effects of immigration when some sectors of the economy are characterized by wage bargaining between unions and employers. We show that immigration is unambiguously beneficial if the wage elasticity of labor demand in the competitive sectors is smaller than in the unionised sectors. In the opposite case, the welfare effect of immigration is ambiguous; little immig...

This paper examines the relationship between unemployment and immigration in Canada. The bidirectional causality test finds no evidence of a significant effect of Canadian immigration on unemployment. Cointegration tests indicate that there is no observed increase in aggregate unemployment due to immigration in the long run. The results from the causality test based on the vector error correcti...

Quantum trajectory theory, developed largely in the quantum optics community to describe open quantum systems subjected to continuous monitoring, has applications in many areas of quantum physics. In this paper I present a simple model, using two-level quantum systems (q-bits), to illustrate the essential physics of quantum trajectories and how different monitoring schemes correspond to differe...

Competing values underlie U.S. immigration law and child welfare law. Immigration law often operates in ways that intentionally hinder family unity, which in the child welfare context enjoys tremendous constitutional protection. First, the operation of immigration law undermines family unity by failing to recognize the variety of family structures that exist, which has profound implications for...

1. Attempt at a self-contained quantum description The consistent-histories program 1,2,3 represents a more concerted effort than previous attempts to overcome what some workers regard as the main defect of the Copenhagen interpretation: the need to invoke the existence of a classical world as a precondition to the meaningful interpretation of quantum mechanics. Hence, just as for any other att...

Through an analysis of recent film and moving image work documenting the Hostile Environment, this essay challenges distinction often drawn between postcolonial migrants refugees, arguing that Britain's punitive immigration asylum policy broadens what it means to be made stateless. With particular reference Windrush docudrama Sitting in Limbo (2020) Remi Weekes' horror His House (2020), explore...

OBJECTIVE Describing and analysing the Spanish Parliamentary debate on immigration and health. METHODS A systematic search regarding parliamentary initiatives (PI) on immigration and immigration and health was conducted from the beginning of the Spanish democratic period (1979 to 2007). A protocol for collecting information was used to identify the parliamentary debate's main characteristics ...
