Zusammenfassung

Der politische Umgang mit dem Thema Immigration steht in den USA in einem Spannungsverhältnis zwischen dem Selbstverständnis als Einwanderernation, wirtschaftlichen Interessen und xenophobischen Tendenzen. So hat Washington zwar die Einwanderung prinzipiell gefördert, andererseits dabei immer wieder einzelne Gruppen diskriminiert. Die Attraktivität der USA als beliebtestes Auswanderungsziel weltweit ist dennoch ungebrochen. Mit zunehmendem politischem Gewicht der migrantischen Bevölkerung erwächst langfristig die Chance auf eine umfassende Reform der Einwanderungspolitik. Dies wird jedoch erst realisierbar sein, wenn die Polarisierung des Kongresses durch eine Änderung gesellschaftlicher Haltungen aufgeweicht wird.
