Our project seeks to explore the impact of Twitter and AI-enabled Twitter bots in shaping public perception regarding immigration reform, including impacts on perpetuating polarization, social divisiveness and hate speech targeting Mexican immigrants. A mixed methodology using data mining, social network analysis, and content analysis will be used to analyze approximately 1 million tweets and corresponding accounts captured through the Twitter API.
