Suburban Crossroads - The Fight for Local Control of Immigration Policy

In fear of becoming havens for illegal immigrants, numerous local communities adopted and implemented their own immigration laws during the 2000s. Suburban Crossroads chronicles the debates and policy responses that emerged over laws like the Illegal Immigration Relief Act, and then evaluates the future prospects for suburban growth and decline.
