This paper examines the influence of public finance on individual preferences toward labor immigration and trade liberalization in the US. The authors explore how pre-tax and post-tax cleavages differ across globalization strategies and also across fiscal jurisdictions. They conclude that exposure to immigrant fiscal pressure reduces support for freer immigration among natives, whereas there is no public-finance variation in opinion over trade policy.
