Not so Huddled Masses: Multiculturalism and Foreign Policy
McConnell, Scott
World Affairs, Spring 2009, v171, #4, pp39-50
"The author examines the connection between America’s immigration and foreign policy throughout U.S. history. Although Hispanics will make up a quarter of the American population by 2040, this does not guarantee a different foreign policy. Apart from the highly-mobilized Cuban émigré community, Latinos’ foreign-affairs activism remains modest since it is not clear that they have either the resources or the will to influence American foreign policy in a singular way; most new immigrant groups tend to vote Democratic. The power of ethnic lobbies to exert influence upon U.S. policy are also discussed."
Scott McConnell is co-founder and editor-at-large of The American Conservative.
