Language and International Migration
What do the languages spoken by migrants reveal about the social forces that shape international migration flows? This visualization of languages spoken by unaccompanied lien children (UACs) detained in the United States between 2014 and 2016 demonstrates how linguistic diversity among UACs varies across language families, countries of origin, and world regions. The relationship between the languages represented in this dataset and UACs’ countrie…
Urgent Returns
Research on post-deportation experiences has shown that family separation, especially separation from children and partners, shapes deported migrants’ intentions to return to the US. Yet little is known about how these intentions intersect with other aspects of the remigration experience. In this article, we examine deported Central American adults’ intentions to reenter the US undetected and the transit experiences of those attempting to return …

However, we know that women have also been active actors in the migration story (Nor…

Borders within Borders
Over the past four decades, occupational regulation, particularly licensing, which creates a legal right to practice, has engulfed the American occupational structure. Occupational licensure research typically offers theoretical arguments suggesting that licensing limits individuals' entry into an occupation. For migrants arriving with little financial capital, licensing requirements can act as substantial barriers to occupational entry. On the o…
