The 'Immigrant problem': Modern-day nativism on the Web

Article Abstract:

An investigation is undertaken to study the social problem of immigration by exploring the language and rhetoric of restrictionist groups on the World Wide Web in the aftermath of the September 11 terrorist attack. The study reveals that the most overtly nativist groups have the greatest number of web-links to other restrictionist groups, suggesting an attempt to appropriate multiple sources of restrictionist discourse to bolster and legitimize their own positions.
