Abstract
The aim of this chapter is to chart how the politics of immigration reform has changed over the late 1990s and early 2000s. It explores the anti-immigrant episode of the 1990s, examining the reasons for its rise, focusing in particular on the political calculus of key Republican politicians who chose to use the immigration issue for electoral gain. It will also explain how that calculus changed as the Latino population grew and become more politicized in the new century.
