debt under control. That prompted banks to tighten lending, and the central
bank cut interest rates for the eighth straight time in July to 8%.

Why Some State Immigration Laws are Welcoming but Others are
Downright Hostile
These results are quite interesting as they suggest that immigration policy
is a function of the professional nature of a states legislature, public opinion
in the state, overall state economic conditions, and state demographics.
Monogans results offer a clear picture of how states have chosen to make
changes to immigration policy over the last decade in the face of federal
inaction.
Comentrios:
a) the federal government always has the last say on immigration laws.
b) decisions taken at state level should overrule federal legislation.
c) wealthier states are always more lenient towards immigration.
d) state-level laws may impact the design of national immigration policy.
e) immigration laws concern only immigrants themselves and their families.
a) the federal government always has the last say on immigration laws.

Specifically, the more professional a legislature is, the more likely they are
to enact welcoming laws toward immigrants, which Monogan suggests is
likely because career politicians in these legislatures are more concerned
with their future electoral prospects than those in less professional
legislatures. In other words, state legislators are mindful of how opponents
could garner votes in the next election and they consider this when voting
