Centering Race in Studies of Low-Wage Immigrant Labor
This review examines the historical and contemporary factors driving immigrant worker precarity and the central role of race in achieving worker justice. We build from the framework of racial capitalism and historicize the legacies of African enslavement and Indigenous dispossession, which have cemented an exclusionary economic system in the United States and globally. We consider how racism and colonial legacies create migrant displacement and s…
Employers as Subjects of the Immigration State
The state plays a key role in shaping worker precarity, and employers are key actors in mediating this process. While employers sometimes may act as willing extensions of the deportation machinery, they are also subjects of the immigration state. In this article, we highlight the impact of state-employer dynamics on migrant workers with Temporary Protected Status (TPS). These workers have only provisional permission to live and work in the United…
Introduction to a Special Issue on the Impact of Immigrant Legalization Initiatives
This article is the third in a series to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the ILR Review.

In this issue, we also feature a special cluster of articles and book reviews on one of the most critical labor market issues across the globe—the legalization and integration of immigrants i…

The Salvadoran case (1944–72) suggests that political instability rather than societal pressures may prompt semiauthoritarian regimes to adopt gendered labor reforms. We extend the motivations for adopting gendered labor reforms to include co‐opting labor by examining gendered labor reforms i…
