Angelo Dagonel, "Budget Prioritization in the American Immigration Bureaucracy"
Abstract
My dissertation examines how enforcement and service is prioritized in the bureaucratic agencies that implement immigration policy. This chapter of my dissertation looks at prioritization in budgeting across time and across different agency activities and programs. I'll discuss how I plan to use theories of federal budgeting to guide an exploration of two data sets: program-level budget requests, and budget justification hearings. Request data should suggest what activities are prioritized in dollar amounts and personnel. Speech from hearings data should suggest why agency executives prioritize certain policy objectives over others.
