Abstract
One of the fundamental goals of immigration policy is the “integration” of new immigrants, which reaches its fullest success with naturalization. Most integration efforts take place at the subnational level. I use case studies of Georgia and Quebec to identify indicators and patterns that can be applied to the comparative study of immigration policy in Canadian provinces, U.S. American states and meso-level governmental units around the world. I believe my analysis captures some of the broad range of variation in immigration policy between Canadian and U.S. jurisdictions and helps us to assess the comparative success in terms of naturalization.Authors who publish with this journal agree to the following terms:
