State Responses to Immigration: A Database of All State Legislation http://www.migrationinformation.org/datahub/statelaws_home.cfm or http://www.migrationinformation.org/datahub/statelaws.cfm

This database contains all bills and resolutions related to immigrants or immigration that were considered by state legislators across the nation. At present, the database contains all immigration-related legislation for 2007. Data for 2008 and historic 2001-2006 data will be added in the coming months. Note: You can perform the search either by Subject or by Legislative Typology, but not by both. In order to select a Legislative Typology, Subjects must be set to 'None,' and vice versa for a search by Subjects. Prior to searching our database or downloading data, we encourage you to read our http://www.migrationpolicy.org/pubs/2007methodology.pdf methodology to fully understand how we identified, excluded, and classified immigration measures within our database. ______________________________ This information is provided to subscribers, friends, faculty, students and alumni of the School of Industrial & Labor Relations (ILR).
