Explaining the Surge in Citizenship Applications in the 1990s
Objective . We explore the increase in citizenship applications in the mid–1990s in order to test popular explanations for them, such as the consequences of IRCA legalization, fear of loss of public benefits, and effects of citizenship outreach programs. Methods . We rely on a nonrandom sample of 526 lawful permanent residents in four Texas cities. About half had applied for citizenship and all were taking affirmative steps via participation in c…

The "Amnesty" Aftermath
The 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) created two one-time only legalization programs affecting nearly 3 million undocumented immigrants. Legalization has produced important changes among immigrants and in immigration policy. These changes include new patterns of immigrant social and economic adaptation to the United States and new immigrant flows through family ties to IRCA-legalized aliens.... This article combines data from a long…

Implementing the U.S. Legalization Program
The legalization program of the 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act was influenced by the behaviors of three local actors in the implementation process: immigrant communities, community-based organizations, and INS officials. The results of two longitudinal field studies in a southwestern city suggest that local interpretations of legalization affected program outcomes by expanding the scope of the program beyond the participation rate projec…
Shadowed Lives
One of the few case study available on undocumented immigrants, this insightful anthropological analysis humanizes a group of people too often reduced to statistics and stereotypes. Immigrants' own voices speak of the hardships of Hispanic migration to southern California, while the author's voice raises questions about power, stereotypes, settlement, and incorporation into American society

The Cautious Welcome
Chronicles the design, implementation, and outcomes of the legal provisions of the 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act. Draws on two types of data: interviews with those responsible for program implementation (representatives of the relevant public and private agencies at the federal, state, and local levels) and firsthand observations of a wide range of program activities in the field
Criminality and Homeless Men
This paper examines the relationship between criminality and homelessness by tracking a random sample of homeless males through the police department records of a large Southwestern city over a 27-month period. When compared with data on criminality in the general population of males within the city over the same period, these data show that while the homeless have a higher overall arrest rate, the majority of offenses for which they are arrested…

The Myth of Pervasive Mental Illness among the Homeless
This paper calls into question the double-edged thesis that the majority of the homeless are mentally ill and that the streets of urban America have consequently become the asylums of today. We present data from a triangulated field study of nearly 1,000 unattached homeless adults in Texas that contradict this stereotypic imagery. We also suggest that this root image is due to the medicalization of the problem of homelessness, a misplaced emphasi…
