Hi Netanel

An implicit connection between immigration and religion is evident in Greece. If interested, have a look at my article "Religion, securitization and anti-immigration attitudes: The case of Greece". 

Good luck with your research. Best wishes

Abstract

This article revisits securitization theory of the Copenhagen School by addressing an empirical overemphasis on political actors and offering a quantitative extension to typically qualitative assessments of the theory. Using Greece as a case study, it explores the dynamics of competition and the relative discursive power of two actors, political and religious elites, regarding migration. After first documenting a divergence in the two actors’ rhetoric through discourse analysis, it proceeds to measure the relative impact of their discourses on public immigration attitudes, employing structural equation modelling of European Social Survey data. Findings demonstrate that exposure to the securitizing religious discourse through church attendance immunizes citizens from the softening effect of the political message. This, in turn, explains the survival of the security frame on migration in Greece, even as political elites begin to move towards the desecuritized pole of the continuum. Crucially, the analysis of this case suggests that a methodological synthesis of qualitative and quantitative research methods to study securitization is possible despite limitations. The authors call for greater efforts to combine the two methods which would allow for a better understanding of securitization and desecuritization processes.

It depends on what geographical area, and geopolitical condition a group is in. More importantly, the connection between religion and migration varies based on what era, and time- variable you are thinking about. Today, religion is a very different instrument than thirth years ago; in the past it was a spritual and trusted tool to "divide & rule", but in current time, it is more of a globally political- instrument to "divide & rule" the common cultures, under shadow of economic interests. As a result, the dependent variables of migration and religion are under umbrella of many independent- variables; as specific your hypothsis goes, as the choosing of an suitable independent variables.   

Hi Netanel,

This is an interesting question, but yet again that depends if you  are referring to the written or the unwritten law.

For instance, those countries which offer citizenship for refugees - ie Ireland, Australia etc - can provide you with citizenship if you state that the country which you were living discriminates your religion.

There is also another view on this, some countries may not simply provide you with citizenship whether by naturalization or marriage if you are following one of their stated or official religions (ie Christianity, Islam, Judaism). This is typical in South East Asia and the Middle East.

The GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) countries remain closed to outside permanent immigration, naturalization and citizenship. Even so within the GCC there is very strict immigration policies. The main criteria for citizenship within the GCC countries being religion (Islam) and ethnicity (Arab). 

Yes. Have a look at recent developments in Canadian immigration and refugee policy, under a government led by a closet Christian Zionist.

There is a study on home ownership and citizenship.

Which I think makes good sense of some countries adopting a second home policy that is not unlike a "short-term" citizenship

However whether that second home status is granted on religious criteria may quite opaque.

http://www.koed.hu/mozaik20/annemarie.pdf here Dr Dupré look at it from the Protestant perspective in Italy. 

Thomas Blom Hansen; Caroline Jeannerat; Samadia Sadouni look at it from san African perspective in "Introduction: Portable Spirits and Itinerant People: Religion and Migration in South Africa in a Comparative Perspective" which you can fid here on researchgate

Yes, and the relationship exists in triangles or the third factor or motivational trigger is scene of Fear. Which have different types and level..... movement is mostly based of satisfaction of this fear factor.
