Abstract
This dissertation investigates the sources and consequences of political and social change regarding immigration to the United States. Specifically, I investigate the political and economic consequences of immigration on the welfare state, how immigration policy evolved in the U.S., and how changes in policy change how firms and individuals organize to circumvent immigration restriction.
