Abstract
Abstract Over the last decades, subnational units have grown increasingly vocal in their desire to gain a say in immigration policymaking. Often overlooked, but increasingly prevalent, is the role played by subnational units in regulating internal migration into their respective territory, be it in attracting or more puzzlingly, in restricting internal migrants. Why do subnational units enact restrictive internal migration policies? Drawing from the existing literature examining local migration policies pertaining to international migration, as well as original empirical qualitative data collected during two rounds of fieldwork in Batam, Indonesia, this article proposes a novel Internal Migration+Institution, Geography and Elites (IM+IGE) framework, assessing the role of institutional and geographical factors as well as political elites in the context of large and rapid influx of internal migrants. The findings suggest that, while much can be learned from the literature on the local turn on immigration policymaking, the regulation of internal migration by subnational units remain sufficiently distinct to justify the development of a more fine-grained theory of local (restrictive) policy of internal migration, while also reiterating the need to better integrate lessons from the Global South.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
