there was interesting study recently comparing swiss polls vs referenda (swiss do lot of those) no link onhand but
what do you make of the declining support among Republicans for lowering legal immigration?

basically no issue had a wider gap between stated and revealed preference than immigration
-
I definitely see a lot of the Republican support for legal immigration as pure signalling
-
Some of it is signaling, some of it is...Whignaling. A lot of hyper patriotic GOP types believe America is just so damn awesome, it can convert anyone to its folkways. The fact that this never really happens is not germane to the story.

Americans are more squishy on immigration than the Swedes
