This mixed methods study of local pro- and anti-sanctuary actions taken in response to Latino in-migration features data for 3,000+ counties, a national survey, and two case studies in Twin Falls, ID and Hazleton, PA. Historical origins and contemporary circumstances combine to account for why localities are either welcoming or exclusionary.
