Are all politics truly local? On January 25th, just five days after his inauguration, President Trump signed the Enhancing Public Safety in the Interior of the United States Executive Order with the purpose of defunding sanctuary cities from federal dollars. The executive order stirred varied reactions from local officials. My dissertation examines said actions on immigrant related issues by local elites and municipalities in light of a seemingly nationalized electorate. I first develop a novel theoretical framework of representational decisions made by local elected officials, which introduces an assumption of a nationalized electorate and proposes expectations for the impact this new phenomenon has on their representational decisions. I argue that local elected officials understand the issue of immigration to be highly partisan and controversial thus propelling them to take into consideration a nationalized electorate and the city's partisan leanings into their immigrant representational strategies, straying away from the managerial democracy past theories of local governance have proposed. In doing so, they may prioritize the views of the ideological majority over other demographic pressures when taking public positions on immigration - uncovering that nationalization as a new political phenomenon has had a critical impact on the (in)action of local elites on immigrant related decisions. Further, I find evidence that suggests that mayoral symbolic actions on immigration play a critical role in shaping the policy agenda at the local level, and their rhetoric can have a significant impact on the adoption of policies that either accommodate or restrict immigrant communities.
