Our results remain unchanged in thisspecification too, represented in Table B.5, suggesting that this is more consistent with exposurethan an “oldest child” effect since it is just as likely to appear in second oldest children relative toyounger siblings.
Well done, these were my two concerns I could think of.
The fact that the effects we measure are comparable for this group of refugeesto the effects we measure for those who leave when repression is coupled with economic crisissuggests that repression is the dominant mechanism behind the effects we document in this paper

Whether partycoalitions can again be disrupted depends on shifting party dynamics insome fundamental way, by some future partisan coalition- builders, in waysthat we cannot foresee.
To me the story is this: NE always had some preference for liberal policies and for a while the party to affiliate with was less defined. After Reagan, the base of young and immigrant support FDR had grown was unable to find a home for their progressive mindsets in an increasingly evangelical republican party. Thus, they said: "We dippin" and deserted to the democrats.
dominated by Southerners, and the partywas facing pressures to pursue the policies of cultural conservatives” costingthe GOP support elsewhere as “the Northeast wing was not receptive to thisemphasis”
I think the push factors were more important than the pull here
Party leaders and their strategic efforts built partisan coalitions in NewEngland during changing circumstances, often by trying to attract particulardemographic groups through outreach, party organization, and issue appeals
Immigrants and liberalism
Similar shifts took place in regard to congressional representation, too.
Makes perfect sense, presidential inclination is generally a pretty good indicator
Since Reagan, the Republican Party has become even more wed to far-right messages and has moved in an anti- government, even anti-democraticdirection, which swept in conspiracy theorists, while undermining governance(Fried and Harris 2020, 2021). Partisan polarization is increasingly racializedand asymmetric, with Republicans more extreme than Democrats (Mannand Ornstein 2012; Tesler 2016).
This seems to me a primary factor
New England, bycontrast, continued its tradition of electing mostly moderate Republicanswho were pro-choice, comparatively feminist and, particularly in comingdecades, pro-LGBTQ+ rights.

Perhaps it was the Democrats’ confirmed status as a nationalminority that made them more risk acceptant by 1928 when they nominateda Tammany Hall- affiliated northerner
Wonder if we will see parallels in modern politics
New England’ssupport for the GOP was mostly uniform due to the lingering resentmentsof the Civil War and to Republicans’ continuing support of nationalizing,coordinative efforts as they related to commerce.

Vulgate
Vulgate is latin, sepitgiunt is greek (and was translated into the vulgate), hebrew text is "original" (and was translated into greek)
This methodology is called “textual criticism” because itis a way of assessing a text through critical comparisonof its different copies.
Basically, being ok with the fact that there are differences
n response to this critique of their canonical status,the Roman Catholic Counter-Reformation position wasto declare these works definitively a part of the Bible.The Catholic church to this day maintains the canoni-cal status of Tobit, Judith, the longer version of Esther,1 and 2 Maccabees, the Wisdom of Solomon, Sirach,Baruch (including the Le*er of Jeremiah), and the Addi-tions to Daniel. The Orthodox churches also maintainedthe canonical status of these works, and in addition re-garded some or all of the following books as canonical:1 Esdras, the Prayer of Manasseh, Psalm 151, 3 Maccabees,2 Esdras, and (in an appendix) 4 Maccabees. The NRSVincludes headings within the Apocryphal/Deuteroca-nonical Books calling a*ention to the varying canonicalstatus of these works.
Canon because they wanted to politically oppose to keep power
Luther wanted these texts to be available for readingand meditation, but he did not regard them as scripture

For people party it was on hand but it must have also been colonial motivations
This is, fundamental-ly, a typical ancient Near Eastern process: Instead of cre-ating a small, highly consistent text, as we perhaps mightnow do, those responsible for the process included manyof the viewpoints in ancient Israel, incorporating differ-ing and even contradictory traditions into this single, andsingular, book—the Hebrew Bible

he law defines a “refugee” as any personoutside the person’s country of nationality who is unable or unwilling to return tothat country because of persecution or a well-founded fear of persecution on accountof race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or particularopinion.
This is where we accept but still do not ratify international law
The 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act (known as the Hart-Cellar Act) (79Stat. 911) abolishes the national-origins quota system and replaces it with a systemwhereby immigrants are admitted based on their relationship to a US citizen orlawful permanent resident family member or US employer. While caps are placedon the total number of immigrants who may be admitted each year in most family-based and employer-based categories, the law provides that there will be no cap onthe number of “immediate relatives” (spouses, parents, and minor children) of UScitizens admitted each year. Like immediate relatives, immigrants from the WesternHemisphere countries are also exempted from the law’s system of “preferencecategories” for those who are admitted. However, the law provides that beginning in1968, there will be a cap of 120,000 on the total number of permanent residents whomay be admitted from the Western Hemisphere.
System we still use today
by Nazi persecution to immigrate to the United States.The law also states that up to 15,000 individuals residing in the United States as ofApril 1, 1948 who meet the displaced person definition may adjust their status andbecome lawful permanent residents.

Action on climate change requires trust in science, government and generalized socialtrust
Running short on that at the moment

here is reason to believe that previous regular,measured and successful immigration paves the way for successful integration of refugeesand other immigrants who arrive suddenly and in greater numbers
Just as an immigrant community can help receive new migrants, they also soften the landing of society around them to be less discriminatory
this was driven primarilyby people in areas where the immigrants were not settling.

minorities and became less supportive of anti-immigration parties compared to individ-uals living farther away
But I think this will somewhat depend on the place and like mindset of where they are being integrated
be concentrated in order to maximize social network ties and co-ethnicsupport, creating an ethnic enclave, or dispersed in order to avoid overburdening receiv-ing communities, and providing more opportunities for immigrants and natives to inter-act?
How much say does a host country really have
here is a risk of native backlash againstthem.
Yeah the right is likely to deny why and how they left
5000 people relocated to Buffalo.Some went back, but many stayed. In the 2020 US Census Buffalo showed its first popu-lation increase in 70 years (National Academy of Sciences, Medicine and Engineering2024).
Countries can get benefits from bolstering dying cities
By leveraging what we know about migrants –that they send economic remittances in amounts that dwarf international economicaid, and that they create welcoming communities that ease the integration and furtherthe success of countrymen who follow, the use of visas for strategic migrants can benefi-cially shape future migration and help sending communities hit hardest by climatechange
This is smart, take advantage of the human disposition already at play
Providing anumber of visas to countries that are experiencing severe climate change will seedfuture migration through social networks and support those unable to move who needto adapt in place through remittances.
It can be a borderline one time thing
Instead, they would just provide a path to perma-nent migration for a stream of migrants from the sending country, whether or not theindividual migrants report that they are experiencing adverse effects of climate change.
Who gets to allocate then? Just a lottery system, and how does one verify that it is for climate reasons (although maybe that isn't important)
One avenue forward is that visas could be issued for countriesfacing all three types of migration – disaster, strategic, and managed retreat
requires so much individual generosity on the part of the country
how would strategic migrants establish that itis climate that caused them to move?
And what differentiates them from economic migrants
A new legal and bureaucratic category of a climate migrant would be very difficult, ifnot impossible to administer.
We need a more strict definition of climate migrant b/c climate change so often works in tandem with other push factors, the scope needs to be narrower
One ques-tion is whether we need a new legal category of migrant (Williams 2008).
yes
trapped populations, people who cannot or will not move, butwhose adaptation in place will increasingly fail
Old, poor, etc
ea level rise and destruc-tion of ecosystems and livelihoods will cause two types of migration: strategic migrationand managed retreat. Strategic migration is a choice made by individuals. It can beeconomically motivated or specifically because of a perception that staying in placewill be impossible or costly because of climate change (Castro 2023). Managed retreatis the organized movement of communities away from hazards. It will become inevitablein some places, like low lying island nations and other places that become uninhabitable,yet it is highly undesirable and often fiercely resisted
Strategic migration is more economically or individually motivated while managed retreat will happen as that place slowly becomes unlivable (as opposed to rapidly in the case of disaster)
Thisproduces disaster migration. It is unplanned and rapid.
Avoiding the most random and devastating of climate change effects
People generally move to places where they know people, where family orfriends have already settled
Like providence RI
involving ‘conflict, disease, pol-itical change and economic crises’ (Kemp et al. 2022, 6). Should such large scale societaldisruptions occur, migration would surely follow
Making me want to be a damn climate activist
Estimating the volume of climate migration produces highly varied estimates. Ques-tions about how much the climate will warm, whether the effects will be linear or includetipping points that drastically change climate and cause sea level rise, the role of climatechange as a threat multiplier leading to conflict and government collapse, and the ways inwhich countries will adapt to rising numbers of potential migrants by closing or openingborders are all implicated in these estimates.
TLDR: It makes everything worse bozos
coping with the long-term integration of climate migrantsin the decades to come
This migration would have been internal, will it scale to international
argue that while climate migration will pose many chal-lenges, it also can be framed positively, and we can use what we know from migrationscholarship to craft policies and to further research that will lead to better outcomesfor both migrants and receiving communities
What are the good outcomes for receiving communities
successful integration of largenumbers of migrants fleeing climate change should be a toppriority not least because this success will help to preserve thesocial trust that is necessary for successful climate mitigationefforts
But you are actively fighting against the dominant american thought

While the asylum and refugeeprotection systems offer protection to some individuals impacted by climate change who have alsosuffered other persecution, there are no formal protection pathways for climate-displaced people underU.S. law. Temporary designations, such as humanitarian parole, do not offer a systemic response toprovide lasting protections to those displaced by climate change
The counter argument here is that it will sooooooo expand the definition of refugee ironically "opening the floodgates"
