Got my copy of @robertocarlos.bsky.social new book!

Published! In this paper, we evaluate how criminal violence in Latin America affects political attitudes among Latinos in the United States. @angelaxocampo.bsky.social and I bring together research from different fields to show the relevance of origin-country politics in Latino public opinion.

Last night in LA’s Univision studios to discuss CA governor’s race and LA Mayoral race 🇲🇽🌵 (with my fellow political scientist #ClaudiaSandoval)

🚨NEW PUBLICATION🚨 in Science Advances. We meta-reanalyze 100 conjoint experiments to assess which immigrants citizens prefer around the world. Our evidence reinforces existing findings, identifies novel insights, and provides a basis for future research 1/n www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

This cruel death was the final straw for me, so I made time to gather my thoughts on it, out today @latinonewsnetwork.bsky.social latinonewsnetwork.com/community/ho...

Great presentation from @linettesanchez.bsky.social on the political engagement of the children of undocumented parents #WPSA2026 @wpsa.bsky.social

Under Trump, immigration officers have detained parents of U.S. citizens at about twice the pace of the previous administration. And compared with Biden, Trump has detained many more people with only minor criminal histories or none at all. 👉 Read our full investigation: https://propub.li/4uVy3Mu

A growing majority of Americans have soured on President Trump’s handling of immigration, with 58 percent saying he has gone too far deporting undocumented immigrants. One in 3 people say they worry that a family member or friend could be detained by ICE. https://wapo.st/4c76N6K

Some words of mine are featured in Thomas Edsall's new opinion essay on how Trump is undermining his multi-racial coalition www.nytimes.com/2026/02/17/o...

I feel like this is a good time to re-up my review of public opinion about American identity www.annualreviews.org/content/jour...

“Look, mom, no hands” 🇲🇽 -Me, in The Hill today Mounds of data we’ve collected—even before the current immigration mess—suggests major ingredients are there for this type of coalition-building, which is sorely needed now and going forward thehill.com/opinion/camp...

People keep referring to what’s going on in the US right now as a “modern-day gestapo” and “un-American”. In my @annualreviews.bsky.social preprint w/ @abautistachavez.bsky.social (doi.org/10.1146/annu...), we show that the US has repressed and expelled marginalized communities throughout history.

At #SPSA2026 in New Orleans this week? Come to my favorite event of the year: the 6th Annual Borders and Migration workshop. Six panels on Thursday/Friday with great scholars and lots of feedback, plus an author-meets-critics on my book "In Our Interest" with some real heated takes.

Large Language models pose an existential threat to online survey research www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... An AI can now evade a comprehensive suite of data quality checks, achieving a 99.8% pass rate on 6,000 trials of standard attention checks.

“get to keep your life”

We should no longer trust data collected on MTurk link.springer.com/article/10.3... My guess is that other online data is going to drop in quality due to LLMs. This is going to be an existential crisis for the behavioral sciences.

Please share - @pewresearch.org wants to hire a data archivist who will be an advocate for data users, helping to ensure that our datasets are easy to discover and reuse by researchers, journalists, and the public. pewtrusts.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/CenterExtern...

Undocumented immigrants — along with others who are afraid they will be swept up in raids — are staying home. “They don’t care if I have papers or not, only because I look like a Latino,” said one construction worker who has temporary protected status.
